Why US policy on India aims to avoid repeat of China ‘mistake’

AI Summary

short article 1 min

A US Deputy Secretary of State stated in Delhi that the US aims to avoid repeating past "mistakes" made with China in its policy towards India. The statement, made at the Raisina Dialogue conference, indicates the US will work with India but will not allow its rise to threaten US strategic interests. Analysts suggest this means the US may implement restrictions on cooperation with India, specifically regarding market access, technology transfer, and economic concessions. The US government's stance reflects a perception in Washington that insufficient safeguards were in place while facilitating China's economic integration, leading to a powerful rival. The US seeks to prevent a similar outcome with India's growing global influence.
