US panel to hold hearing on India, China power balanceWashington: A US congressional advisory panel will hold a public hearing next month to examine India’s ties with China and the United States and how those relationships shape the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific, according to a Federal Register notice. These include tensions over disputed territory, maritime access in the Indian Ocean, and India’s role as a significant Indo-Pacific power. The Commission said the hearing will also explore the economic and technology dimensions of India-China relations. India has emerged as a key strategic partner for the United States, especially in the Indo-Pacific. The upcoming hearing reflects growing congressional attention to how India’s ties with China and the United States could influence the future balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.
