Main Body

Experts have regarded the tussle between USA and China as the end of Cold War 2.0, similar to pre-1991 US v/s USSR. These tussles can have repercussions for India in multiple forms and regions. Casting a shadow on India's strategic interest: (1) Tariff war: can lead to uncertainty in global supply imports reducing our trade balance and looking deficit. (2) Pacific ocean is seen as Indo-Pacific theatre - can lead to militarization & due to conflict. This hurts India's not-yet provider ambitions.

3Supply chain shocks: can affect foot platform recovery (e.g: shortage of silicon chips in automobile). (4) Formation of new blocs in the region: a AUKUS joined by USA to above military technology (Anglo-Saxon partnership). Global security partnership by China to counter QUAD. (5) Weaponization of technology: through the ongoing tariff war between them. (6) Debatable the maritime rule: a Taiwan China face-off in South China. China can damper trade movement.

7Ignite regional conflicts like in Westasia: Where China brokered Iran-Saudi deal And India is vide US Led IAUD partnership (major diaspora, oil security). (8) Chinese aggression on border: In Twanang, Ladakh part India-US Quadruple. New opportunities: such as digital partnership with USA, bilateral accords - China + India opportunity must be tapped by India. The fight for power among the two blades has to be managed via the 'STRATEGIC AUTONOMY' and using issue based partnership for a multipolar world.
