    Tibet, Taiwan, and the India-China-US triangle

    While India has remained careful about how it addresses China's "sovereignty concerns," since 2020 New Delhi has been less deferential to Beijing's sensitivities on issues such as Tibet and Taiwan. To unpack this shift and India's approach in the context of the India-China-U.S. triangle, host Tanvi Madan speaks with Brookings Senior Fellow Ryan Hass, director of the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings. Show notes and transcript. Listen to Global India on Apple, Spotify, and wherever you listen to podcasts.

    India's technology competition with China

    When it comes to China, geopolitics and technology are linked in India's thinking. This has resulted in bans on Chinese social media and gaming apps, restrictions on Chinese investment in India's tech sector, concerns about telecom networks and semiconductor supply chains, and more. And India's concerns about Chinese inroads into its tech sector are only growing. To discuss these issues, Tanvi Madan speaks with Pranay Kotasthane, deputy director of the Takshashila Institution in Bengaluru, and Trisha Ray at the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C.

    India's economic ties with China: Opportunity or vulnerability?

    Less than a decade ago, economic ties between India and China were strengthening. China became India's largest trading partner, and when Xi Jinping visited India in 2014, Chinese officials were talking about the large investments in India to come. Today, however, Indian scrutiny and restrictions on a range of Chinese activities have increased, and geopolitical differences have exacerbated economic friction. To discuss this shift and the state of India-China economic ties, Ashok Malik, partner at The Asia Group and former Indian official, joins host Tanvi Madan. Show notes and transcript.
