The easing of China-India relations is in the interest of the global community, and the strategic focus of the US-India relationship has been adjusted.

According to a report by "India Today" on September 20, renowned American scholar Ian Bremmer stated that "the thawing of Sino-Indian relations is in the interest of the global community." Bremmer said that against the backdrop of increasing global uncertainty, maintaining a stable bilateral relationship between China and India is beneficial for alleviating regional tensions and promoting trade and diplomacy. Regarding Sino-US relations, Bremmer believes that although the US has traditionally viewed India as a strategic pillar to counter China, the "Trump 2.0" administration has significantly reduced the emphasis on "using India to contain China" compared to the Biden administration. It was under the tariff attacks of the Trump administration that the leaders of China and India successfully met during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, leading to a warming of their relations. In terms of geopolitics, Bremmer believes that the current global order is showing a "G-zero world," which refers to a situation where no single country or group can dominate global agendas and order, resulting in a fragmented and regionally grouped international system without a strong central leadership. He believes that the US no longer plays a leading role, and there is no other major power to replace it. He considers India to be a leader of the "Global South," with close ties to Japan, Australia, and Europe, placing it in a more favorable position in the "G-zero world." Notably, Bremmer believes that India's participation in the SCO summit and the Quad (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue) has limited positive impact. On one hand, Modi does not support the Belt and Road Initiative, and engaging with China is merely a signal to the US to seek concessions. On the other hand, the Quad is moving towards disintegration, with the US commitment to Australia's nuclear submarine program still not materialized, and Japan is also under pressure due to its large-scale investment commitments to India.
