When U.S. Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau visited New Delhi earlier this year, he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/releases\/office-of-the-spokesperson\/2026\/03\/deputy-secretary-of-state-christopher-landau-at-the-raisina-dialogue\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it directly: \u201cWe are not going to make the same mistakes with India that we made with China 20 years ago\u2026\u201d Now, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to New Delhi for his first official visit since taking office, the China comparison will follow him into every meeting. Washington backed a rising Asian giant before, the argument goes, and got burned. Why should India be any different?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That fear may be intuitive for Americans, but it gets the lesson of China exactly backwards \u2013 and risks further benefiting Beijing. The lesson of China is not to distrust every rising power. It is to distinguish between those that seek to overturn the international order and those likely to strengthen it. And India, whatever its imperfections, has every reason to want the current system to endure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The China Mirage<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the advantage of hindsight, far greater skepticism was warranted the last time a large Asian civilization-state with a rapidly expanding economy sought Western support to accelerate its rise. Washington\u2019s faith in globalization allowed Beijing to hollow out the American industrial base, sustained by the expectation that a wealthier China would naturally turn democratic and support global stability. Beijing\u2019s revisionist ambitions were consistently overlooked in favor of market access: its aggressive actions across the Indo-Pacific, exploitation of the World Trade Organization, vast intellectual property theft and espionage, and regular bouts of wolf-warrior diplomacy all went unreckoned with so long as the commercial relationship held.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The failure of the China bet could not be clearer today. Not only did China fail to liberalize domestically or become a partner in strengthening the international order, but it developed into the most formidable economic and political adversary the United States has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/by-invitation\/2021\/09\/01\/paul-kennedy-on-whether-chinas-rise-means-americas-fall\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ever<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> faced, all while eroding the West\u2019s capacity to respond. The mismanagement of China\u2019s rise has produced the defining geopolitical challenge of this generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A growing number of observers fear India will follow the same trajectory. Given China\u2019s demonstrated strategic leverage from manufacturing strength, India\u2019s ambitions to build a rival industrial base look conspicuous. The muscular rule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with his party\u2019s intentions to further centralize power through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/world\/india-modi-authoritarianism-elections\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">election<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reorganization and by exerting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-india-49234708\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">greater<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> control over states raise eyebrows. New Delhi\u2019s purported <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/jun\/18\/canada-india-assassination-carney-modi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">assassination<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of a Sikh separatist in Canada \u2013 and an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/10\/17\/g-s1-28835\/justice-department-charges-sikh-separatist-assassination-plot\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">attempted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> one in the U.S. \u2013 combined with its more <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/what-led-recent-crisis-between-india-and-pakistan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggressive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> nuclear brinksmanship with Pakistan strike many Western observers as concerning signs of what India\u2019s ascent means for the fraying rules-based international order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Different Tradition<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But there is a meaningful difference between becoming a more assertive power within the international system and seeking to overturn it. The primary threats to today\u2019s world order bear unmistakable resemblance to their historical predecessors. Xi\u2019s China, Khamenei\u2019s Iran, and Putin\u2019s Russia all reflect continuations of centuries-old ambitions for regional or global preeminence that predate the current international system. China\u2019s self-conception as the \u201cMiddle Kingdom\u201d at the center of the world, with a mandate to rule \u201call under heaven,\u201d intimates its revisionist ambitions on the world stage today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">India\u2019s tradition is different. With the minor exceptions of the Chola and Kushan empires, India\u2019s history of political expansionism is remarkably limited. Its founding political parable reflects an ethos of restraint: the story of Emperor Ashoka Maurya centers on his horror at the violence required to build his empire and his subsequent embrace of nonviolent spirituality. The contrast with China\u2019s founding emperor, Qin Shi Huang, whose legacy celebrates the ruthlessness required to expand and consolidate power, could hardly be sharper. There are of course many counterexamples in the voluminous histories of each civilization, but it would be very difficult, in aggregate, to argue that India\u2019s tradition of statecraft prizes imperial dominance to anywhere near the extent that China\u2019s does.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More recently, India\u2019s independence movement further reinforced the same instinct. Following centuries of British imperial rule, India\u2019s founding leaders championed self-determination and national sovereignty. Historically a victim of foreign conquest more so than a conqueror itself, India values the international order of nation states and continues to pursue a strategy that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www-foreignaffairs-com.stanford.idm.oclc.org\/india\/how-survive-multialigned-world-tanvi-madan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is deeply suspicious of foreign coercion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Thankfully, the assertions made by Indian diplomats that their country is a \u201creformist\u201d rather than a \u201crevisionist\u201d power has deep roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Different System<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One need not just rely on grand civilizational abstractions to recognize that India won\u2019t exploit the international system as China has. The structural differences between the two states all but guarantee India will not follow in China\u2019s wake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">China\u2019s undermining of international trade and institutions was a deliberate strategy that could only be executed by a highly centralized Leninist party-state. After the international backlash following the Tiananmen Square massacre, Deng Xiaoping charged Communist Party leadership \u201cto hide strength and bide time\u201d until Beijing could challenge the Bretton Woods institutions underpinning the American-led order. Strict nationwide coordination made possible China\u2019s exploitation of foreign businesses and markets. When a wave of democratization swept East Asia, China resisted liberalization through a carefully orchestrated, whole-of-government effort, deploying top-down state control of media, education, the private sector, and civil society to prevent reform from taking root.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">India, by contrast, is a decentralized federal democracy. New Delhi cannot come close to replicating Beijing\u2019s top-down exploitation of international trade and institutions. India\u2019s judicial oversight and legal barriers against industry favoritism may be imperfect, but they still contrast sharply with the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s absolute control over state-owned enterprises and the private sector. The strategic state subsidization Beijing employs for geopolitical leverage is simply beyond India\u2019s reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The two nations also diverge in their commitment to international norms. While India occasionally pushes back on intellectual property protections in sectors like pharmaceuticals, it does not conduct the systemic, state-backed espionage <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/reviews\/capsule-review\/2014-02-18\/chinese-industrial-espionage-technology-acquisition-and-military\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">campaigns<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or coercive joint ventures characteristic of the Chinese model. The authoritarian cynicism with which Beijing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/globaltaiwan.org\/2021\/03\/chinas-weaponization-of-covid-19-vaccine-against-taiwan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">weaponizes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> everything from health supplies to agricultural goods remains foreign to the Indian political tradition. And where China has sought to reshape the United Nations to dilute standards of democracy and human rights, India typically uses its influence to hold the body accountable to its founding principles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Overlearning China\u2019s Lessons<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The tragic irony of this moment is that in overlearning the lessons of China, Washington risks squandering the one relationship that could help it correct course. While China\u2019s authoritarian system and tradition of statecraft gave it both the intent and structural capacity to subvert globalization, India\u2019s history and institutions indicate no such threat. To the contrary, India\u2019s rise is likely to reinforce regional and international stability, not least by constraining Chinese ambitions in the Indo-Pacific. A stronger India means a more contested neighborhood for Beijing, a more balanced Indo-Pacific, and a more credible check on Chinese coercion of smaller states across the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Admittedly, the era of unreflective Western investment that fueled China\u2019s rise has passed, with the upshot that Western nations\u2019 investment in India\u2019s rise will have to look different. A rising tide of domestic populism, antipathy toward offshoring, and legitimate national security concerns have fundamentally altered the American and European political landscapes. These changes carry considerable implications for India. Corporations, too, are understandably wary of fostering \u201cHuawei-like\u201d competitors who might eventually challenge them through intellectual property theft or state-backed aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even so, supporting India\u2019s rise remains an indispensable necessity for addressing the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/china\/underestimating-china\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">scale<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of the challenge posed by Beijing. Washington may seek to reshore critical manufacturing, but without deep collaboration with India it cannot hope to match China\u2019s massive production capacity, which currently triples that of the United States. Likewise, it is difficult to imagine competing with China\u2019s rapidly growing STEM workforce without India, given the growing margin with which China<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualcapitalist.com\/charted-u-s-vs-chinese-stem-grads\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">outproduces<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> American STEM Ph.D.s \u2013 by the tens of thousands every year. Nor can the United States effectively peel back China\u2019s growing influence in South Asia or elsewhere in the Global South without Indian collaboration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In overlearning the lessons of China, Washington risks squandering the most important relationship it needs to counter China. Rubio\u2019s trip to India should begin from that premise.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Official State Department photo by Freddie Everett The ghost of China haunts every conversation about India.
