Source:<\/strong> The post is based on the article \u201cModi-Biden meet: India, US and the China\u00a0anxiety- For Delhi and Washington, the other\u2019s China choices matter<\/strong>. They must address each other\u2019s concerns\u201d published in \u201cThe Indian express\u201d on 8th September 2023.<\/p>\n

Syllabus:<\/strong> GS2- International relation- Bilateral, regional and global groupings and agreements involving India and\/or affecting India’s interests<\/p>\n

News:<\/strong> The article discusses concerns in India and the US about each other possibly getting too close to China (called G2-A2 concerns). This could affect their own strong partnership. Both countries need to communicate better about their China relations to maintain trust and strengthen their alliance.<\/p>\n

What are G2-A2 concerns?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

G2-A2 concerns refer to anxieties in both India and the US regarding each other’s potential closer ties with China, potentially sidelining their bilateral partnership.<\/p>\n

Origins:<\/strong><\/p>\n

India noticed US cabinet trips to China and changes in US-China rhetoric.<\/p>\n

The US observed India’s high-level meetings with China and India’s agreement for BRICS expansion.<\/p>\n

Historical Context:<\/strong><\/p>\n

India recalls the US’s move towards China in 1971, feeling left out.<\/p>\n

India believes the US didn’t do enough to deter China’s militarization of the South China Sea.<\/p>\n

The US remembers the Sino-Indian cooperation in the 1950s, which went against US interests.<\/p>\n

The US feels India was hesitant about joining the Quad to avoid provoking China.<\/p>\n

Recent Events:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commentators criticize each country’s outreach to China, viewing it as a sign of desperation or weakness.<\/p>\n

Developments like the Trump-Xi and Modi-Xi summits between 2017-2019 added to these apprehensions.<\/p>\n

Implications:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a fear that if one country gets closer to China, it may negatively impact India-US ties and constrain options in the Indo-Pacific and globally.<\/p>\n

What can India and the US do to strengthen their partnership?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Strengthening the India-US Partnership:<\/strong><\/p>\n

No-Surprises Rule:<\/strong> Both should keep each other informed about their significant interactions with China. For instance, Delhi and Washington can establish a regular briefing schedule on interactions with China.<\/p>\n

Public Messaging:<\/strong> Enhance public communication so that China doesn’t dominate the narrative. For example, joint press releases can clarify the shared perspectives of India and the US on crucial issues.<\/p>\n

Focus on Trends:<\/strong> Pay attention to overall patterns of interaction rather than isolated incidents. Such as investing more in research to understand each other’s historical and current views on China and Asia.<\/p>\n

Boost Non-China Partnership Drivers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strengthen other aspects of their relationship not solely based on China-related concerns. Like, enhancing trade, cultural exchanges, or technological collaborations.<\/p>\n

Adopting these measures can help India and the US solidify their ties, ensuring more robust mutual trust and collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
