| Author | Sharma, Ashok |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The violent clash during the night of 15-16 June 2020 in the Galwan Valley on the Indo-Tibet border is largely seen in the context of enduring Sino-Indian strategic rivalry and differing perceptions of the border. But the deadly clash is China's desperate attempt to use the humanitarian crisis of Covid-19 to advance its geopolitical goals in the Indo-Pacific region. Its latest military assertiveness is a message that India is no match for China. The deadly clash has shattered India's illusions of a friendly China. The on-going relationship between the two nuclear-armed Asian giants will be tense and not business as usual. |
