Topic: China

China is a South Asian country, sharing borders with 14 countries including India. Its significance lies in its rise in the region and hegemonic influence over smaller countries through loans and the Belt and Road Initiative. China and India have fought a major war in the 60s and have disputes over the Aksai Chin and LAC, and tensions over the Indo-Pacific.

SGIN -

Chinese checkers

SGIN -
China could be our threat number one, but it is more likely to threaten us with more plastic toys aimed at our markets than Dong Feng missiles zeroing in on Raisina Hill.

Modi’s new universe: the normal irritants of democracy & awkward chai with Rahul Gandhi

Shekhar Gupta -
