A new triangle: The interaction between China-EU and India relations
An opinion piece by Philippe Le Corre, Professor of Geopolitics and Asian Studies at ESSEC Business School. Researcher at the Asia Society Policy Institute (Centre for China Analysis), associate researcher at the John K. Fairbank Centre for Chinese Studies (Harvard).

For several years now, Indian and European leaders have been strengthening their ties. They view China as a formidable economic and security rival, while seeing the United States as a key security partner and, in the case of Europe, a long-standing ally.
