Description

India and China—two ancient civilizations and Asian giants—have a long history of friendship, conflict, and mistrust. With Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to India and an invitation to Prime Minister Modi for the SCO Summit in Tianjin, is the relationship finally on the mend?
In this episode of the Chakravyuh Podcast, Ambassador Ashok Kantha, India’s former Ambassador to China, joins Gaurav to decode:

•            The reality behind India-China “thaw” talks.
•            Border issues post-Galwan 2020 and Doklam 2017.
•            China’s military and intelligence support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
•            The strategic mistrust between New Delhi, Beijing, and Washington.
•            Economic vulnerabilities—rare earths, APIs, and supply chains.
