Day 46 \u2014 Global Centres of Power \u2014 II<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Today closes the great-power set. We take India’s ties with Japan, Europe and China together, because each is now a variable in the others. Japan is the least encumbered by dispute and the most under-realised \u2014 political warmth well ahead of its defence and trade content. Europe is the largest economic partner and, until the Indo-Pacific supplied a shared frame, the narrowest strategic one; the bilateral tracks with France, Germany and the UK still outweigh the Brussels track. China is the only relationship where the primary question is security, not opportunity \u2014 trade has climbed while trust has fallen, and after Galwan the border conditions everything else. The capsule walks each tie through its phases, the Modi-era upgrades, the 2025\u201326 trade deals and the post-2020 disengagement, and closes with a synthesis built around the three triangles. Ten questions, 2018\u20132025 \u00b7 2 \u00d7 10-markers \u00b7 6 \u00d7 15-markers \u00b7 2 \u00d7 20-markers.<\/p>\n
