Anushka Saxena quoted in Business World on Taiwan’s Independence

Anushka Saxena, Research Analyst with Takshashila’s Indo-Pacific Studies Programme, was quoted in Business World on Taiwan’s independence and a potential US-China confrontation.

She was quoted as saying:“Unlike previous exercises that involved the test-firing of ballistic missiles, the recent drills focused on "joint air and sea combat patrols" and did not involve live ammunition or missile tests. The involvement of the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) is notable, with nine Coast Guard vessels participating alongside the PLA across all exercise zones that reflect a strategic shift towards integrating various arms of China’s security apparatus, particularly in light of recent skirmishes involving Chinese and Taiwanese coast guard vessels.”
