4D Strategy to Counter China

Lt Gen Vinod Bhatia and I discussed the 4 D strategy India needs to adopt to counter China. It revolves around – Defending the LAC, Denial of space in the neighbourhood, Diplomacy to balance and Domination of the maritime space. We had spoken about it peripherally often. Today we got down to fleshing out the details. The discussion was invigorating and useful. The audience response was good. The main outcome of this discussion was that we need focus and must take people along with us in countering China.
