THE NEW PODCAST BY GLOBAL JOURNALIST AND WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SAURABH SHUKLA ON GEOPOLITICS, POLITICS AND EVERY THING THAT MATTERS TO YOU.
In this episode of Washington Central with Saurabh Shukla, we break down Xi Jinping’s two-front strategy—a geopolitical manoeuvre where China is simultaneously courting the United States while quietly escalating pressure on India.
From Xi’s outreach to President Donald Trump and the possibility of a 2026 state visit, to Beijing’s renewed provocations over Arunachal Pradesh, this episode explains the real motivations behind China’s dual moves.
Saurabh Shukla, Editor-in-Chief of NewsMobile, decodes:
Why China is easing tensions with the US now
How Beijing uses trade, technology, and AI diplomacy
Why India remains the primary pressure point
China’s long-term ambition to dominate Asia
The global implications of a US–China–India power triangle
How this strategy shapes supply chains, markets, and security
As the world enters an era of managed rivalry, understanding Xi’s calculations is crucial for governments, analysts, and citizens alike.
