Relation with India is very important to deal with China, Ro Khanna said – we should keep a clear eye on this

Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna has said that America’s relationship with India is important to deal with its strategic rivals China and Russia. Khanna spoke to radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday after his return from India, where he led a bipartisan Congressional delegation. He said that China and Russia are clearly two strategic challenges, rivals. That is why relations with India are going to be very important to deal with this. I think we should keep a clear eye on what China and Russia are doing.

Khanna said it is unfair for the US to expect India to block the Malacca Straits during a conflict with China, but if Beijing invades Taiwan, New Delhi could wage a two-front war along its borders in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. Can be aggressive to begin with. As a link between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca is the shortest sea route between India and China and therefore one of the most traveled shipping channels in the world.

Khanna, currently co-chair of the Congressional India Caucus, did not agree with Indian-American presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy who said on Tuesday that he wanted India to close the Malacca Strait in case of Chinese aggression on Taiwan. China views self-governing Taiwan as a separate province that should be reunified with the mainland.
