China Rattled by 'Battle of Galwan' Teaser: Einar Tangen, Lt Gen Narasimhan Debate

On this India First special report, the focus is on the Global Times’ sharp reaction to the teaser of Salman Khan’s upcoming film, ‘Battle of Galwan’. Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow at the Center for International Governance Innovation, and Lt Gen S.L. Narasimhan, Adjunct Distinguished Fellow at Gateway House, join Executive Editor Gaurav Sawant to discuss Beijing’s unease. Tangen suggests China is ‘concerned’ about appeals to nationalism amidst global conflicts, while Lt Gen Narasimhan terms the reaction ‘a little overreaction’ to a mere teaser. The programme explores the geopolitical implications of the film, which depicts the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, and the broader context of India-China relations.
