‘India Must Use Technology To Reduce Power Asymmetry With China’

As Chinese coercion rises and American deterrence around the world wanes, what are the lessons for India? There needs to be a change in strategic thinking and we need to scale up hi-tech advancements and make cultural transitions to reduce the power asymmetry with China, says Lt Gen. Raj Shukla (Retd), former commander of the Army Training Command (ARTRAC).
Despite the challenges it faces, China has managed to convert its economic and technological heft into hard power, he told StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale. As an Army, we are fighting-focused; that’s important but we must also be deterrence-focused and become so strong in deterrence that there’s no need to fight, said Lt Gen. Shukla (Retd), who’s now a member of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Tune in for more.

The guest talks so elegantly, and sensibly, it was really a treat to watch.

[@MaTara01]

What a wonderful discussion! Fusion of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Durga is what we need as the General said. But of course, the red tape & the bureaucracy needs to go.

[@Prehar58]

Raj Shukla is talking total sense …hope someone in the positions of power will take these disruptive future fields seriously to invest in the civil military fusion to play catch with the emerging threats around us

[@sanjivkumar8588]

Marvelous Lt Gen Raj Shukla

[@lawanyaarvind2810]

Thanks so much for inviting Lt Gen Shukla to Stratnewsglobal. Very learned and erudite gentleman...

[@souravchakrabortty3371]

Most insightful discussion about our national interest.

[@amantyagi251]

Ears r tuned in whenever General Shukla speaks even if there is distraction around me.

[@kalyan2812]

Awesome & insightful discussion.

India is 20 years in military technology compared with China. Indians have been trying to do catching up game for the past 70 years but the gap is growing 😂

[@huanghermann5207]

Not just technology, also economy

[@Utube1024]

India is building aircraft carrier with catapult system within 3 years time...wow..........

[@ParkerAt941]

In 3 years the carrier has piled up enough human waste to produce another explosion.

[@huas5350]

India is good at talking . China is good at action.

[@999score]

🇮🇳 not only talking,,daydreaming every day...boasting

[@Utube1024]

If only India has the technology in the first place

[@Red.bulldozer3]

Can some one tell which technology indians are far ahead than china?😂

​@@ParkerAt941don't be over confident chinese ... never underestimate your enemy

[@ParkerAt941]

@@subhajitsaha5668 China is too busy to implement its own grand plans, neither regards India as an enemy nor has the focus to estimate India. You over thought the dynamics between the two countries. If you would like to argue that India produces any technology more advanced than China, bring the fact to the table. Otherwise the hollow talk nonsense doesn't help anyone.

[@subhajitsaha5668]

@@ParkerAt941 yeah that's why they are coming in indias neighborhood to counter India.. and also asking india to not join any military alliance ... don't think you are too rich.. still your per capita is about 12000 dollars which considered poor. By making third grade products and sell around the world you can't become superpower.. still far behind than western nations... stay grounded .. the day is near when china will ask for friendship with india..

[@subhajitsaha5668]

@@ParkerAt941 too busy with whom?? Countering india in its neighborhood?? 🥴🤣🤣🤣 come on noob , still your per capita is about 12000 dollars... don't act like your people is too rich... if india joins any alliance your coolness will fade away... stay grounded..

[@avirdee5421]

Great idea but India won't be given technology on a platter. It has to follow the tough route that all other technologically advanced countries have done so far. These retired army so-called chiefs have nothing better to do other than become armchair experts to appear in U-tube channels for a few more rupees in retirement.

Lol,he is also member of UPSC....

Bhai mere...bas American k pass kya he ..kaisa he...kb se he...humare pass kyo nhi he ..coz of people lk u when u had power u don't do required things . And after retirement sab knowledge pelate rhte he.... Kuch krte nhi he. Bs bakwas

As recently as 2020, indians used manual power to stop the aggressive chinese forces at ladakh. It resulted in loss of 20 jawans and loss of some 2000 sq km land😂
