India reassesses strategy as competition with China intensifies in South Asia
India faces challenges in its competition with China in South Asia, particularly at Colombo port in Sri Lanka. The port features both Indian and Chinese military presence, highlighting the regional influence of China through its Belt and Road Initiative. India's Adani Group is constructing a new terminal at the port, supported by $553 million in U.S. funding in 2023. However, the ongoing presence of Chinese operations raises questions about India's strategic position in the region. These developments indicate that India may need to reassess its policies to effectively counter China's growing influence in South Asia.
