KEY POINTS
· For those of us in India watching the events as they unfold around Taiwan, there are valuable lessons to be learnt.
· To begin with, consider this. A small island of 23 million people has decided to stand up to one of the strongest military and economic powers on the planet, braving existential consequences.
· India is a far more powerful nation armed with nuclear weapons and with a 1.4 million standing military against whom China has only marginal territorial claims. And yet, India continues to be hesitant about calling China’s bluff.
· The most important lesson from the Taiwan standoff for policymakers in New Delhi is the importance of articulating red lines and sovereign positions in an unambiguous manner.
· New Delhi needs to unambiguously highlight the threat from China and the sources of such a threat. .
· China today is a revisionist power, challenging the regional order; is intent on using force to meet its strategic objectives, and is desirous of reshaping the regional balance of power to suit its interests.
· The close economic relationship with China has not stopped Taiwan from asserting its rights, nor has it backed down under Chinese threats.
