Japan, India, Australia Plan New Global Supply Chain to Counter China

Experts say that Japan, India, and Australia are planning a new global supply network and are working out an initiative called the Supply Chain Resilience Initiative (SCRI) to reduce dependency on China. They say that the initiative is a result of the emerging geopolitics in the post-coronavirus world. Satoru Nagao, a visiting fellow at Hudson Institute and an expert on India–U.S.–Japan security cooperation, told The Epoch Times in an email: “This cooperation is well-related to current U.S. policy toward China. Washington has an interest in preventing Beijing from gaining the wealth it needs to rapidly modernize its military.”
