The Philippines welcomed the arrival of the Indian Navy frigate INS Kadmatt, a move that attracted attention from the outside world. But why would India send ** to support the Philippines?As a matter of fact, India is implementing a containment strategy and taking advantage of the dispute between the Philippines and China to provide military assistance to the Philippines in order to achieve its goal of containing China. India and the Philippines do not have a deep relationship, but India has been interacting with the Philippines, for example, by sending Indian submarine formations into the South China Sea. The Indian Navy does not have any maritime rights and interests in the region, but India has taken advantage of the dispute between the Philippines and China over the islands, and has taken advantage of this to have relatively close contacts with the Philippines. Therefore, the arrival of the Indian Navy in the Philippines can be understood as a provocation against China. In addition, there is another key reason, that is, India is a member of the Quad Alliance, and its positioning is to cooperate with the United States when needed, and use India's geographical advantages to create problems for China. In the event of a large-scale naval and air conflict with China in the western Pacific, India would need to create trouble for China in the southwest to cooperate with or respond to the US military in the Western Pacific. Therefore, India's support for Philippine interests at Second Thomas Shoal is actually preparing for a possible future conflict.
In fact, this is not the first time that India has interacted with China in the South China Sea. Back in 2015, India also provided Vietnam with four patrol boats, which also caused displeasure in China. However, for India, these actions are all about safeguarding its own interests and status. As a rising power, India needs to show its strength and status on the international stage, which is one of the reasons why India sent ** to support the Philippines. In short, the Indian Navy arrived in the Philippines to cheer up the Philippines and support Philippine interests at Second Thomas Shoal in practical terms. On the deeper level, India is implementing a containment strategy, taking advantage of the dispute between the Philippines and China to create trouble for China in order to protect its own interests and status. In the future, India is likely to continue to interact with China in the South China Sea, which requires us to remain vigilant and responsive. India's position in the Quad has attracted attention from all sides. India's strategic position seems to be more insidious than that of the United States, Japan, and Australia, as they will match the strategies of the United States, Japan, and Australia when appropriate. They may launch a war against us from the southwest, forming a situation of flanking from both sides.
This strategy can lead to some problems and challenges, because India can strike suddenly when needed, which is very threatening. Therefore, we need to pay attention to India's strategic intentions and actions and respond accordingly. India is a country with a huge population and economic potential, as well as a country with great military power. Their activities in the South China Sea and other regions have attracted the attention of the international community. India's strategic position is very clear, that is, to cooperate with the US military when needed. Such a partnership could adversely affect our country's interests, as India's strategic intentions are difficult to control and control. India's naval formations continue to be dispatched to the South China Sea and other regions as part of their containment strategy. They also have very close relations with countries such as Vietnam, which is a threat to our country. Recently, India also sent a fleet of naval boats to the Philippines to show that it will not sit idly by and watch the dispute over the Spratly Islands, which is undoubtedly a provocative move. Such actions could adversely affect the maritime security and interests of our country. We need to pay close attention to India's strategic movements, especially in areas such as the South China Sea.
We need to strengthen cooperation with neighboring countries and build a peaceful and stable regional environment to safeguard our national interests. We need to work out a clear response strategy to safeguard our *** In short, India's position in the Quad is very important, and their strategic intentions and actions require our close attention. We need to develop a corresponding coping strategy to protect our interests and interests. We need to strengthen cooperation with neighboring countries to jointly build a peaceful and stable regional environment.
