The Pentagon’s India-China Problem
The article first appeared on Outlook on December 26, 2025. On December 25, 2025, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded to allegations contained in the Pentagon's annual report to Congress on China's military developments. The report claimed that Beijing 'probably seeks to capitalise on decreased tension along the LAC to stabilise bilateral relations and prevent the deepening of US-India ties.' Lin's rebuttal was unequivocal: the Pentagon's report 'distorts China's defence policy, sows discord between China and other countries, and aims at finding a pretext for the US to maintain its military supremacy.' This exchange reveals something fundamental about the current conjuncture. Washington's anxiety about improving India-China relations is not rooted in concern for regional stability but in the structural imperative of American hegemony to prevent autonomous consolidation among Global South nations. Lin Jian emphasised that China 'views and handles its relations with India from a strategic height and a long-term perspective,' adding that the boundary question 'is a matter between China and India' and that Beijing objects to 'any country passing judgment about this issue.' Crucially, this is not merely China's position. India has consistently maintained the same stance. When US President Donald Trump offered to mediate between India and China earlier this year, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri reaffirmed India's position: 'Whatever issues we have with any of our neighbours, we have always adopted a bilateral approach to dealing with these issues.' External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has repeatedly ruled out third-party involvement, stating that the dispute 'is a matter for the two countries to address independently.' This convergence between New Delhi and Beijing on the principle of bilateral sovereignty constitutes precisely the kind of assertion that undergirds the emerging architecture of multipolarity.
