India-China ties to stay strained over next year, warns US intel report

Hindustan Times  

Washington: Declaring that China, a “near peer level competitor” of America, has the capability to alter the rules-based order in every sector and across multiple regions, a US intelligence report, released on Wednesday, concluded that ties between India and China will remain “strained” over the next year and the persistent low-level friction at their shared border has the potential to escalate swiftly. n a section on potential interstate conflicts, the report refers to India-China ties, suggesting that while the two countries have engaged in bilateral border talks and “resolved border points”, relations will remain “strained” in the wake of the 2020 deadly clash, a reference to the skirmish between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley, along the Sino-Indian border, in June 2020. India and its challenges In a section on potential interstate conflicts, the report refers to India-China ties, suggesting that while the two countries have engaged in bilateral border talks and “resolved border points”, relations will remain “strained” in the wake of the 2020 deadly clash, a reference to the skirmish between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley, along the Sino-Indian border, in June 2020. The war has also diminished Russian capabilities, US believes, with the report claiming, “Moscow’s military forces have suffered losses during the Ukraine conflict that will require years of rebuilding and leave them less capable of posing a conventional military threat to European security, and operating as assertively in Eurasia and on the global stage.” But it offers a reminder that Russia maintains the “largest and most capable nuclear weapons stockpile and.continues to expand and modernise its nuclear weapons capabilities”.
