As 2025 approaches, the new United States presidential administration will need to define and implement a new approach to the world’s two most populous nations, India and China. As decades of US economic engagement with Communist China give way to global competition, India’s rise as an economic and military partner presents new opportunities for American grand strategy. Understanding the rivalry between Asia’s largest nations will be critical in a potentially pivotal year.
Join Hudson’s Dr. Aparna Pande, author of Making India Great: The Promise of a Reluctant Global Power, and Dr. Jonathan Ward, author of The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph Over China, along with South Asia expert Dr. Daniel Markey of the US Institute of Peace, for an overview of India and China in 2025.
They will discuss trade and technology, each nation’s foreign policy outlook, and flashpoints both on the disputed China-India border (which spans over 2,000 miles of Himalayan territory) and in the maritime domain from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea. They will also give recommendations for the incoming administration as it defines a grand strategy in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
