China's Influence Activities in India-Beijing
has utilized a wide range of tools to influence domestic politics in India.
In recent years,
China has increasingly tried to meddle in Indian politics and society,
using disinformation on social media platforms to try and wield influence
directly or indirectly. Over the past decade, Beijing has embarked upon a
similar strategy to wield influence within politics, local discourse,
societies, online discussions, universities, and media in several countries. To
do this, China uses media and information tools. Beijing is expanding state
media outlets, leveraging international social media platforms, using training
programs for foreign journalists, and signing content-sharing deals with media
in other countries to extend its sphere of influence. It also uses more
traditional methods—including using the United Front Work Department (UFWD), a
major intelligence agency within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—to wield
influence with the Chinese diaspora, foreign politicians, businesses, and
universities abroad.
Views of National Security Council and cabinet committee for
security affairs should be taken for its usage in the Indian context.

exporters of military equipment.Between 2017 and 2021, India imported a
staggering US$15.4 billion (S$20.6 billion) in military kit. But its defence
exports amounted to a piddling US$302 million, making it a veritable minnow in
the global arms business.
