The Times of India, Daily India, November 2 report, the meeting between US and Chinese leaders in South Korea has caused deep concerns in India about the growing interaction between China and the US marginalizing India's international status. Recently, Trump met with the Chinese leader in Busan, South Korea, and the main focus of the talks was trade and economic cooperation issues, not the "division of spheres of influence" speculated by Indian scholars. Several experts pointed out that Trump's "G2" statement before the meeting is more like "political rhetoric", not representing a substantive shift in US foreign policy. At the same time, India's strategic community has shown obvious concerns about the intensifying interaction between China and the US. Scholars generally believe that if the US again "embraces China", it will inevitably weaken India's role in the "Indo-Pacific Strategy". Meanwhile, due to Modi missing the 47th ASEAN Summit, he missed the opportunity to meet with Trump, failed to inject new momentum into the stagnant "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue", and also failed to secure further commitments from the US on "Indo-Pacific" security issues. Sushant Sareen, senior researcher at the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) in India, commented that this China-US meeting should sound an alarm for India. He emphasized that "India should stop self-praise, return to practical development, and focus on enhancing its economic and technological strength."
