Carnegie Nuclear Policy Conference: New Challenges to Strategic Stability in the China-India-Pakistan Nuclear Competition

This panel explored the difficulties of sustaining strategic stability within the China-India-Pakistan triangle. Pertinent recent developments include the accidental Indian launch of a cruise missile into Pakistan, as arguably the first time that a state has fired a nuclear-capable missile into the territory of its nuclear rival. Meanwhile, naval nuclear force developments include Pakistan’s acquisition of Chinese submarines for dual-use missions, generating inadvertent escalation risk. This panel also explored further deterrence stability challenges such as emerging drone and cyber technologies, evaluated how great power competition affects third-party crisis mediation, and discussed potential confidence-building measures to reduce dangers within this increasingly unpredictable strategic competition.
