Proactively taking advantage of China’s involvement in the Taiwan Strait to fight China in multiple theatres is something Indian military planners should think about.
he People’s Liberation Army’s frequent military exercises and incursions close to Taiwan, including crossing the median line after the United States Representative Nancy Pelosi’s 2022 visit to Taipei, have increased the risk of escalation in the Taiwan Strait.
