India and China at an Inflection Point

Nirupama Rao, India’s former Ambassador to China and the U.S. and Pacific Leadership Fellow at the Center for Global Transformation at GPS, addresses whether the recent India-China crisis at the Himalayan border signals the end of India’s “strategic autonomy” at a challenging time for the Indian economy amid a pandemic.

Attend this exciting webinar to hear Ambassador Rao’s perspectives on the following questions: What are the prospects for abatement of tensions between these two giant neighbors? Does this current phase signal India’s increasingly open alignment with the United States, and competition against China, as New Delhi draws deeper into involvement with the Quad in the Indo-Pacific maritime domain? What impact does closer China-Pakistan cooperation have on India’s security interests in sensitive border areas?
