Connecting the Dots: China-India Rivalry Is Reshaping Indian Ocean Politics

The rivalry can’t be separated from broader geopolitical tensions between the United States and China in the Indo-Pacific region. Observers have pointed out that as India-China tensions rise, India is facing less pressure from the United States on anti-Muslim crackdowns and other forms of democratic backsliding and its ongoing commercial and political relationship with Russia.
