US President Donald Trump. The US foreign policy has been overhauled but it is simplistic to boil this all down to the Trump factor alone. Beijing is beginning to shape global discourse ever so subtly, and in the process, challenging the American-led global order. Both the Left and the Right in India have done a lot of sloganeering on this issue, berating the US, and making common cause with Russia and China to challenge the American global order. The trouble for New Delhi is that the order which Beijing might be building will challenge Indian interests in more fundamental ways than the American-led global order ever did.
