CHINA-INDIA: GLOBAL TIMES ARTICLE ALLEGES THAT WITHOUT FORMALLY JOINING INDIA HAS DIFFERENT FORMS OF COOPERATION WITH 'FIVE EYES'
|
Lin Minwang, Professor with the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, in an article
published in Global Times on September 13 warned that "with the intensified strategic competition
of the US against China, Canberra and New Delhi have formed a consensus on the policy of jointly
containing Beijing. Australia is willing to be a US pawn to charge forward in a series of issues to
discredit China. It not only vigorously advocates the "China threat theory," but also unreasonably
accuses and attacks China, creating antagonism. India, on the other hand, regards the long-term
competition between China and the US as a major opportunity for its own rise, and thus makes a
strategic adjustment. India is shifting from pursuing a balanced diplomacy to the path of cozying
up to the US to jointly contain China". Stating that "Although India has not formally joined the
Five Eyes, it has established different forms and levels of intelligence sharing with members of
the group" and advised that "China must be vigilant against the future impact of intelligence
sharing between India and the Five Eyes".
