According to Admiral Philips Davidson, heading the US Indo-Pacific Command, “China’s recent activities along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) have opened India’s eyes to what cooperative effort with others might mean for their own defensive needs” as he observed that India, in the very near term, would deepen its Quad engagement. “We have been deepening our maritime cooperation”. It is also learnt that the US provided information, cold weather clothing and other equipment to India during the border crisis with China.
