US–China
No question on this topic yet. The note is still here to read.
US–China bilateral dynamics cover trade war tariffs, technology decoupling (semiconductor export controls, Entity List designations), Taiwan Strait tensions, South China Sea militarisation, the Phase-One Trade Deal, and systemic rivalry between a rules-based liberal order and China's revisionist ambitions. US–China competition structurally reshapes the Indo-Pacific, global supply chains, and India's strategic choices — relevant on axes of economic interdependence, technology competition, and multipolar order.
