The complex nuclear dimension of security interactions between China, India, and the United States warrant timely conversations about how stable, constructive ties can be maintained.

Nuclear arms are a cornerstone of the security landscape of the Indo-Pacific region. China is modernizing its arsenal to ensure that its second-strike deterrent capability remains credible, but these efforts have raised security concerns in New Delhi.

A landmark 2008 nuclear cooperation agreement between India and the United States, meanwhile, has allowed India to access foreign nuclear materials and  technology and thus build more advanced nuclear programs and produce more fissile materials—a development that Beijing has watched carefully. The complex nuclear dimension of security interactions between the three countries warrant timely conversations about how stable, constructive ties can be maintained.

Carnegie–Tsinghua’s Tong Zhao will moderate a discussion with Chinese and Indian scholars about how these countries’ nuclear policies affect regional stability and how these policies can be coordinated to ensure that the security needs of all three countries are met.

Panelists:

• Chintamani Mahapatra, Chairman of Canada, U.S., Latin American Studies Department, Jawaharlal Nehru University
• Tong Zhao, Associate, Nuclear and Strategic Security Issues, Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy
• Mao Yue, Deputy Director, South Asia Research Center, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Han Hua, Associate Professor, Peking University
