China Has Lost India

Summary

This article by Tanvi Madan, writing for Foreign Affairs, makes the following points:

• India has perceived China as a threat since the 1950s due to differences over Tibet.
• Indian policymakers were shocked by the border crisis in 2020, in which 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers were killed.
• India blamed the skirmish on Chinese aggression.
• Along with China’s lack of transparency about the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 clash hardened India’s views regarding China.
