New Delhi: India is the most powerful nation in Asia after United States and China, according to a latest report by an Australian think tank.

According to the Australian think tank ‘Lowy Institute’, “In 2024, India overtook Japan to arrive at the third position in Asia with a score of 39.1 out of 100.”

“The API has ranked Australia as the fifth most powerful nation in Asia,” the report said.

“The API has been released at a time when China is increasingly demonstrating aggression in Southeast Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region,” the report further said.

“To counter its expansionist aggression and hegemonic designs, India, the United States, Japan, and Australia have partnered under multiple frameworks, such as the Quad,” the think tank mentions.

“China’s power is neither surging nor collapsing, but plateauing. Flatlining economic capability, drive by slower economic growth and longer-term structural challenges, means that China’s economic clout, while still commanding is no longer growing,” the report added.
