The China+1 question: Does India lose if Trump and Xi make peace?

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington on September 23 for a three-day state visit. When US President Donald Trump welcomes Xi to the White House, the two leaders will have plenty to talk about: tariffs, artificial intelligence, rare earths, Taiwan and Iran.India will not be on the agenda. But it will have plenty at stake.Driving the news: From trade war to uneasy truceUS-China tensions have produced tariffs, technology restrictions and an accelerating effort by Western governments and companies to reduce their dependence on Chinese supply chains.China has a stranglehold of rare earths and critical minerals. Xi demonstrated that he has a “Trump” card in US-China relations. When Beijing restricted exports amid its confrontation with Washington, the Trump admin had to make a retreat.That leverage appears to have changed Washington's calculations.
