This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants.
During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship.
The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh.
Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust.
He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations.
A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors.
With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation.
Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle.
The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict.
This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings.

At the SCO Summit, a powerful moment unfolded as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping engaged in a private and seemingly warm conversation. Xi immediately called for his interpreter after the photo-op, ensuring a lengthy and precise exchange with Putin while other world leaders lined up for the traditional family photo. Their relaxed smiles suggested not just diplomacy, but a bond strengthening at a time of rising global tensions. The interaction is already being seen as symbolic of a deepening Russia-China axis, potentially unsettling the West. Observers note that this visible show of unity comes as U.S. and NATO seek to counter both Moscow and Beijing’s influence. For many, it was more than just small talk—it was a message of strategic alignment, one that could shift the global balance of power.

The United States has confirmed it will deploy its new Typhon missile system to Japan’s Iwakuni base for the upcoming “Resolute Dragon” drills. Russia and China have blasted the move, warning it could destabilize Asia and push the region toward war. Moscow calls it a “direct threat” to its security, while Beijing accuses Tokyo of fueling militarization and betraying its Asian neighbors. Analysts warn Japan risks becoming a frontline state in a future U.S.-Russia-China conflict. Is Washington lighting the fuse for a regional conflagration?

EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen has escalated tensions with Moscow, calling President Vladimir Putin a “predator” while urging European nations to boost their militaries against the Russian threat. Speaking in Riga during her Europe tour, von der Leyen blamed Russia for hybrid attacks, cyber operations, and weaponizing migrants. Her remarks follow Putin’s warning against Western sanctions and his show of unity with China. As the EU pushes for militarization and Moscow aligns with Beijing, Europe risks becoming a major flashpoint in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly floated the idea of deploying Chinese peacekeepers to Ukraine as part of a potential ceasefire deal with Russia, according to the Financial Times. Sources claim Trump suggested Chinese troops could patrol a neutral zone along the 1,300km frontline between Russian and Ukrainian forces. The proposal, allegedly made during a White House meeting with European leaders and President Volodymyr Zelensky, has triggered controversy and resistance from EU nations. Zelensky himself has rejected the idea in the past, citing Beijing’s failure to prevent earlier conflicts. While a senior Trump official dismissed the FT report as “false,” the very suggestion of Chinese boots on Ukrainian soil is sparking global debate. Beijing has so far denied any willingness to join such missions, insisting on neutrality. Moscow, however, has signaled it would only accept peace guarantees backed by UN Security Council powers, including China.

A diplomatic drama is unfolding as US President Donald Trump declared that a trilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky “will happen.” The statement comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he urged a one-on-one between Moscow and Kyiv first. While the Kremlin has not ruled out direct talks, it insists any bilateral must be the final stage once concrete progress is made. Meanwhile, Zelensky has reportedly asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “send the right signal” to Putin, pressing India’s weight as a potential mediator. Kremlin officials confirm flexibility on some issues, but warn NATO’s militarization of Ukraine makes peace elusive. With Putin currently in China, Trump’s bold promise, Kyiv’s appeals to Modi, and Moscow’s warnings against Western “peacekeepers” are shaping a high-stakes diplomatic gamble that could define the next phase of the Ukraine war.

US SCO Relations are in the spotlight as leaders gather in Tianjin, China, for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit. Though Washington is not a member, US SCO Relations continue to shape discussions, from trade tariffs to military standoffs. For India, the 50% US tariff and criticism over Russian oil imports highlight the tension in US SCO Relations. For China, America’s containment strategies and Indo-Pacific moves cast a shadow over regional cooperation. As Russia, India, and China explore alternatives, the silent influence of US SCO Relations reminds the world that Washington remains a decisive factor, even outside the room.

Washington’s high-stakes pressure campaign against India has backfired. Despite unprecedented tariffs and repeated threats over Russian oil imports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bend. Russian crude still accounts for nearly one-third of India’s imports, and refiners show no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest Modi even ignored four calls from Donald Trump, signaling India’s sovereignty is not for sale. Instead of bowing, New Delhi is deepening its BRICS diplomacy — sending top aides to Moscow, hosting Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, and preparing for a landmark trip to China where Modi will meet Putin at the SCO summit. For the US, the outcome is bitter: higher prices for its own consumers, while India expands its strategic clout. As global power balances shift, Modi has made it clear — India won’t be bullied.
