It is a member of the Quad alongside the United States, Japan, and Australia. It has been deepening security cooperation with the United States, Japan, and Taiwan itself through informal technical and commercial channels. And yet India&rsquo;s position on the Taiwan Strait remains studied ambiguity: it recognizes the People&rsquo;s Republic of China, does not formally recognize Taiwan, and has consistently declined to make explicit statements about what it would do in a Taiwan contingency.</p>
