The View from India newsletter on the Taiwan-China crisis

The Hindu  

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan visit has kicked off a major security and diplomatic crisis with China conducing live military exercises around the self-ruled island and freezing cooperation at multiple levels with Washington. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that will be reunited with the country in future, and a vast majority of countries, including the U.S. and India, have adhered to the ‘One China policy’. Officials and experts said New Delhi’s decision not to comment on the situation is a “carefully decided” one, aimed at ensuring India does not wish to cause a controversy with China at a sensitive time in border talks, but doesn’t wish to claim allegiance to the “One China policy”, either, report Suhasini Haidar and Ananth Krishnan. The Hindu, in this editorial, writes about both the tactical and strategic pictures of the crisis: “For Taiwan’s 23 million people and for President Tsai Ing-wen, the rare high-profile foreign visit was no doubt welcome in the face of increasing global isolation on account of China’s pressure.
