Now a Three-Pronged Front Against China, But a Fork in the Road for India

News 18  

The growing alliance against China has had some overlaps. France has just been reminded of this bitter truth by the way the US and the UK have stabbed her in the back in Australia.” The new military alliance brings together three fundamentally English-speaking nations that have a shared military past and broadly aligned political positions. A spokesperson said the pact “seriously undermines regional peace and stability and intensifies the arms race.” That response suggests worry; this is the first convincing military response led by the US to China’s muscle-flexing in the Indo-Pacific. Our partners in those regions want to be able to stand their own ground.” The Himalayan border between India and China is an area over which the alliance may take a common political position, but unlikely to offer military support to India over. It will be to the advantage also to other countries in the region including South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand that share common concerns over China’s aggressive expansionism in recent years.
