How is China Shaping the Global Weapons Market?
Episode description
China's arms exports are enhancing, in both absolute numbers and quality. The construction of an expansive internal military-industrial complex is underway, fulfilling the purposes of both self-reliance and market capture. As war becomes the norm, how do China's arms sales fare? What is it selling, and to whom? And which are the conglomerates responsible for enabling Beijing's dominance in weapons exports?
In this episode of 'All Things Policy', Anushka Saxena speaks to Amit Kumar to discuss China's defence exports philosophy and strategy. Taking Pakistan and Bangladesh as examples, they also conclude what challenges such sales pose for India in its neighbourhood.
