Is strategic autonomy a boon or burden for #India? Recent India-US tensions vindicated India’s strategic autonomy. But is an equidistant foreign policy an aloof foreign policy? My article in the @lowyinstitute.bsky.social ‘The Interpreter’ discusses this: www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpre...

The downturn in US-India relations has reaffirmed India's need for a diversified foreign policy. But, in its quest to maintain an equidistant foreign policy, has New Delhi developed an aloof foreign policy? Read the latest from @chietigj.bsky.social for @lowyinstitute.bsky.social 👇

Is the rapprochement between China & India sustainable? In the absence of substantive progress on core grievances undergirding the bilateral relationship, tensions are likely to re-emerge over the longer term, writes @chietigj.bsky.social for @chathamhouse.org.

Japan is becoming a vital partner for countries looking to rebalance their security & economic priorities in the wake of Trump’s unpredictable policymaking. But having Prime Minister Ishiba remain leader at this time is problematic, writes @kazutosuzuki.bsky.social for @chathamhouse.org.

This week's SCO Summit & Victory Day parade in China send a clear message: Beijing is casting itself as the standard-bearer of a multipolar world led by the #GlobalSouth, set against the Western narrative of a US-led liberal international order, writes Yu Jie for @chathamhouse.org.

"China is aiming to use both events to lay out its global ambitions by being [seen] as a leader of the non-Western world and the multi-polar world." Senior research fellow Yu Jie (@chasiapacific.bsky.social) on China’s global leadership ambitions, via @channel4news.bsky.social ⤵️

Indian PM Modi’s recent visit to Japan shows how Tokyo could profit from upheaval in US policymaking. But PM Ishiba, clinging to power due to a lack of options, may be too weak to take advantage, writes @kazutosuzuki.bsky.social for @chathamhouse.org.

At today's #victorydayparade in China, Beijing is sending a clear message: it wants to reshape the world order. And it has the power to do it, writes our Senior Research Fellow Yu Jie for @chathamhouse.org.

This week, India's Prime Minister Modi visited China for the first time in 7 years. But how much of a turning point does this mark for relations between India and China? @chietigj.bsky.social explains all in his interview with BBC Newshour (from 34 mins) ⬇️

I spoke to the BBC World Service ‘Newshour’ programme about the state of the #China-#India relationship amid Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Tianjin to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO) Summit (from 34 minutes onwards): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Engagement with the Taliban will likely come at the expense of those Afghans seeking protection from the Taliban regime.

Narendra Modi’s attendance should be seen as the culmination of efforts by India and China to reset relations after a fraught period. Read @chietigj.bsky.social's (@chasiapacific.bsky.social) analysis on the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit for @chathamhouse.org⤵️

India's Prime Minister Modi will visit China for the first time since 2018 for this weekend's #SCO Summit. The visit marks a potential turning point toward a more coordinated position between India and China on their foreign policies, write @chietigj.bsky.social & Yu Jie for @foreignpolicy.com.

My article in @foreignpolicy.com (with Yu Jie) argues that Prime Minister Modi’s upcoming visit to China is not only important for the bilateral relations but also to the broader global order as both countries practice their own form of strategic autonomy: foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/27/s...

As the US moves in a more unilateral and transactional direction, the UK and #IP4 – Australia, Japan, New Zealand & South Korea – should establish a new Quintet meeting to discuss and coordinate positions on cross-cutting, shared interests, writes our Programme Director Ben Bland.
