This chapter offers a comprehensive analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its digital component, the Digital Silk Road (DSR) in the Indo-Pacific region, with a particular emphasis on India's strategic response and its implications for regional dynamics. It explores the implications of the DSR for the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific and highlights the challenges and concerns associated with the DSR, such as cybersecurity, digital sovereignty, and weaponization of technology. The conclusion offers insights into the future of regional cooperation, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that suits the interests of all Indo-Pacific nations while addressing the balance between risks and opportunities presented by the DSR.
