Research Analyst, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Mr Niranjan Oak’s article ‘India-Australia Relations amid Chinese Shadow over Island Neighbourhood’ has been published in ‘Ytharth’, a bi-monthly magazine, Vol I/ Issue I/ April-May 2022.
It must be understood that climate change is the most potent threat to the very existence of the island nations, and China is the biggest carbon emitter in the world. Thus, Chinese outreach to the islands of the Indo-Pacific has been an extension of Beijing’s nefarious geopolitical design against India and Australia rather than partner with the island nations to cater for their developmental needs, says Mr. Oak.
