Over the past decades, living in proximity to an increasingly powerful China has gained new meanings. ‘Rising China’ – the nation, the notion, and the buzzword – sparks dreams and triggers fears. Borders that were closed during the Cold War era have again become zones of contact and exchange. Old trade routes are revived, new economic corridors established, and remote border towns turned into special zones. Tales of entrepreneurial success spread wide and stimulate hopes for trans-regional development. At the same time, security concerns remain high, territorial disputes still loom large, and minorities from northern Burma to Tibet, Xinjiang and Tajikistan continue to seek autonomy.In this context, engaging in multiple neighbouring relations has become a necessity for those living in these zones of contact and exchange. The experiences and realities of relation-making across China’s borders shape life in profound and lasting ways. However, these experiences and reali-ties of everyday neighbouring receive less analytic attention than they deserve. Current debates on China’s relations with its neighbours tend to focus on questions of economic inf luence, military power, and diplomatic strategies; both academic and public attention is directed towards topics such as China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea or China’s new regional initiatives such as ‘One Belt One Road’ (yidai yilu????) that aims to revive the Silk Road and gain inf luence in Southeast Asia and Central Asia. Smaller-scale processes of exchange along the 22,000 km of land borders that 14 countries share with China usually remain out of sight. At best, they make headlines as individual cases of economic success or political unrest; hardly ever are they put in relation to each other. Everyday interaction and exchange across the Himalayas, for example, is seldom seen against the background of similar experiences in Siberia or Burma.
