On relations with China, Jaishankar said the Quad grouping including the US, India, Japan and Australia was not “ganging” up against China. As regards the rise of China and ways to deal with it, he said every country will have to make bilateral choices and remarked “we each have a very substantial relationship with China.” “I think it’s very important not to be sort of railroaded into some kind of negative discourse, which actually is not from our script, it is somebody else’s script. And I don’t think we should fall for that. I think we need to be positive,” he pointed out.
