The New York Times reported today: "After Trump's visit to China, he clearly expressed a desire to establish a partnership with Beijing, which has triggered concerns among Asian-Pacific nations such as India. Trump has upended the traditional approach of strengthening ties with India. An unexpected consequence is that, facing a sudden reduction in U.S. support, India is now intensifying efforts to improve relations with China."
Commentary: After Trump's visit to China, he referred to China and the United States as two major powers and actively pursued cooperation—no longer seeking to rally India as before, and even openly expressing caution toward India's development. This has come as a great surprise and source of anxiety for India, forcing it to confront its own position in America's eyes. Faced with this sudden shift in circumstances and driven by practical developmental needs, India is proactively easing its relations with China, relaxing visa policies and considering allowing Chinese investment in non-sensitive sectors, in an effort to secure greater room for maneuver between the major powers.
