Episode Description
Beijing’s rise as a major arms exporter and the internal and external deficiencies in its arms trade engagements present the paradox at the heart of China's military-industrial statecraft. In this episode of 'All Things Policy', Bhumika Sevkani quizzes Anushka Saxena on how China got catapulted to the position of the 5th largest arms exporter in the world, how well its weapons have worked across conflict and training theatres, and what the future trajectory of its military-industrial ties with Pakistan, as well as the rest of its clients, looks like.
