Managing China is becoming a weightier challenge for the world. The challenge is more immense for India, given its border dispute with China and their geopolitical rivalry, overall. The relationship between the two Asian giants went through a particularly troubled period in the last five years following China’s incursions across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the eastern Ladakh region in April 2020 that culminated in the clash at Galwan. New Delhi countered with policy sanctions and reinforced its border troops, but without appearing to threaten a larger conflict. Indian tactics worked: China agreed to modify its blockade in four places and withdraw entirely in two. With Galwan behind them, by October 2024, India and China began a re-engagement process. This seminar will draw from a research paper on the subject, and build insights into the ways of managing Chinese power.
