Debates around dependence-induced strategic and critical vulnerabilities have gained traction with an end objective to reduce or mitigate them.

This Policy Brief proposes that G20 countries must cooperate to mitigate asymmetry in crucial supply chain-related information among stakeholders across the value chain in order to address data asymmetry-induced disruptions.

It makes a historical account of past events to argue that China’s two-front threat perception is not new. It concludes that Beijing has used instability along the LAC as a tool to manage its two-front threat.

The paper investigates this phenomenon—seen perhaps only during the Mao era—and attributes it to Xi’s desire to repair the authority crisis at the apex leadership seen under the presidencies of those who preceded him.
