Welcome to today's issue of The India China Newsletter.I hope this finds readers well and safe. It's been a difficult few days for many of us in India, and more difficult days lie ahead. It does feel a bit surreal to write and think about foreign affairs and China at this moment when there is so much going on at home, which also explains the recent drop in frequency of this newsletter. Here is hoping we pull through and come out of this sooner rather than later.
