Podcast#7 Modi's Master Stroke To Counter China | G-20 Summit

**"Biden-Modi Meet 2023: G-20 Summit and The Counter to China's Influence"** As the G-20 summit approaches, all eyes are on the anticipated meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This reunion signifies the strengthening of ties between two significant democracies amidst a global reshuffle of power dynamics. Touching down in **New Delhi**, Biden has been vocal about his vision for the G-20, especially concerning counterbalancing China's growing footprint in the Global South. With China's Belt and Road Initiative gaining momentum, Biden champions the **World Bank** and the **IMF** as reliable alternatives, positioning them as pillars for developing nations' economic growth. U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan emphasizes the need for "sustainable, high-standard solutions" as an answer to China's aggressive lending strategies. As the G-20, accounting for 85% of the global GDP, prepares to convene, the emphasis is on partnerships, with the **U.S. committing $2 billion** to World Bank and IMF projects. China's recent moves, including its expansion in the BRICS coalition, are closely watched. Yet, with the G-20's significant economic influence and Xi Jinping's absence, Biden's visit is seen as an opportune moment to reinforce the West's commitment to emerging economies. Following the G-20, Biden will head to **Vietnam**, underscoring the U.S.'s strategy to nurture stronger ties in the Indo-Pacific, a region where China's influence has been prominent.
