On this episode of India First, host Gaurav Sawant leads a high-level debate on the shifting dynamics of India-China relations. The discussion follows a visit by a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) delegation that met with leaders from both the BJP and the Congress. Gaurav Sawant notes, ‘China now claims Shaksgam Valley… officially claiming it as their own territory,’ questioning if political engagement is moving too fast while border issues remain unresolved. The panel, featuring Professor Brahma Chellaney and Professor Shrikant Kondapalli, examines whether India is drifting toward appeasement or if the ‘Trump effect’ is driving a tactical readjustment. The transcript highlights the Congress party’s criticism of the BJP’s ‘red carpet’ welcome for the CCP despite the China-Pakistan ‘tango’ during Operation Sindoor. Experts also discuss the military build-up in Tibet and the implications of the recent disengagement at the LAC, debating whether India is eroding its leverage by agreeing to normalization without full de-escalation.
