China’s Challenge to the US in West Asia
July 18, 2023
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr Adil Rasheed’s Commentary ‘China’s Challenge to the US in West Asia’ has been published by Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF) on 18 July 2023.
India should not be too concerned about China’s seeming emergence as a major extra-regional player in West Asia as such a move comes with its own set of unforeseen hazards. India should rather continue with its de-hyphenated diplomatic approach and make contingency plans for securing its vital interests and for evacuating its expat population in case of an Israel-Iran war, which remains a simmering prospect, says Dr Rasheed.
