Would India join a conflict over Taiwan?

Cooperation and mutual suspicion leave India's participation uncertain.

Question

Would India become involved in a Chinese invasion of Taiwan?

Short answer

No firm prediction is offered; the relationship is described through a comparison combining cooperation with mutual distrust.

Notes

India and China are compared to two people walking arm in arm while each conceals a pistol pointed at the other. Cooperation coexists with distrust, and no firm prediction of Indian participation follows.
