EAM Dr S Jaishankar says at the Carnegie India Global Technology Summit, "Our experiences (with respect to US-China relations) are very different. We've actually seen both extremes. For the first few decades after independence, there was very sharp contestation between the US and China, and we got caught in the middle of it. And then, even worse, a deep collaboration between the US and China and being at the wrong end of it. So, you know, neither situation for us. So it's kind of like a Goldilocks problem. We are clearly heading for a period of sharp competition and contestation. Different countries need to plan for it. That planning is going to be much harder because, in the past, we could insulate sectors, saying, you know, this doesn't matter; this is only trade, it's not political, it's not defence, it's not sensitive. I think our definition of what is sensitive has expanded. Nothing is only trade anymore. Nothing is purely business anymore. Everything is also personal."
