Since the U.S. and India began working together, their relationship has deepened, especially in the Indo-Pacific strategy. But what about the impact of this cooperation on China?In my view, while this alliance is not a direct threat to China's growing power, it has increased tensions and concerns among smaller neighboring countries, and has brought some geopolitical instability and pressure to China. However, for China, it can also be an opportunity to advance regional cooperation, allowing us to pursue diplomatic strategies in areas that we are most familiar with. In the context of the extension of the Sino-US game to the global realm, China can take advantage of the United States' habit of provoking geopolitics to seize the initiative and open up and develop the middle ground.
Since 2017, when Donald Trump visited India and reached a partnership with India, the U.S.-India relationship has grown rapidly. In June 2019, the U.S. Department of Defense proposed the Indo-Pacific Strategic Framework, and in February 2022, Biden released the U.S. Indo-Pacific Strategy Report. The United States has always wanted to include India in its system and involve India in the framework of containing China. The difference is that during the Trump era, the United States mainly wooed India through praise and praise, but during the Biden era, the United States began to really take action to provide more practical support and cooperation, such as the migration of the ** chain, the sharing of aviation technology, etc. This deepening cooperation is also an opportunity for India to pivot to embracing the West more.
Over the past few years, the United States and India have worked closely together on several fronts. First of all, militarily, the two countries have conducted a number of military exercises, and at the same time, they have also carried out cooperation such as intelligence sharing. In addition, the United States has also helped India reduce obstacles in the international market and opened the way for India in its international strategy. And geopolitically, India has also begun to actively participate in it, actively supporting countries such as Israel. These collaborations not only strengthen ties between the United States and India, but also provide more support for countering China.
For China, the biggest impact of the U.S.-India cooperation is not a direct threat, but an increase in tension and concern among smaller neighboring countries. These regional countries may take the opportunity to strengthen ties with the United States and India, as well as put pressure on China geopolitically. However, China also has the opportunity to see this cooperation as an opportunity to promote regional cooperation and develop its own diplomatic strategy by seizing the initiative. In the context of the expansion of the Sino-US game into the global arena, China can take advantage of the United States' habit of provoking geopolitics to promote the opening and development of the middle ground.
The U.S.-India alliance has been going on for five years, and their cooperation has had a profound impact not only on the relationship between the two sides, but also on the surrounding region. While this cooperation is not a direct threat to China's growing power, it has increased tensions and concerns among smaller neighboring countries and posed some geopolitical challenges for China. However, it is also an opportunity for China to promote regional cooperation, and we can capitalize on America's habit of stirring up geopolitics to develop its own diplomatic strategy. Against the backdrop of the Sino-US game extending to the global arena, China has the opportunity to seize the initiative and promote the opening and development of the middle ground.
