Deciphering China and Japan's Rivalry
Description
How should we understand the growing rivalry between two 'tigers', Japan and China? The tension between both countries reached a critical point following Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae’s November 2025 declaration that a Chinese attack on Taiwan constitutes a "survival-threatening situation". Such developments, inter alia, demonstrate how Japan's military and diplomatic engagement with China is significantly being altered. Join Kripa Koshy (Staff Programme Manager) and Vanshika Saraf (Geostrategy Programme Research Analyst) as they break down how this newfound assertiveness is playing out in the Indo-Pacific and what it means for the future of Indian foreign policy.
