If the gaze can kill China, then India's gaze at us may really make us "scarred"!Hehe, just kidding. But to be honest, India has been really unlucky during this time and can't send them a sum of cash!
In fact, India wants to expand its sphere of influence in the Indian Ocean region, especially with regard to maritime security and the political balance in the region. That's why they cooperated with the Maldives and invested 500 million in the "big network"!Of such a large sum of money, 400 million of them are low-interest loans, and the other is funded.
However, after the new Maldives Muiz took office, he demanded that India withdraw its troops, which surprised India. The Maldives, on the other hand, has expressed strong opposition to Indian investment. This is a huge blow to India, and all India's efforts will be in vain.
In fact, this is not the first time that India has "broken" the Maldives. Earlier, the Maldives had made a request to India to retreat, which made India feel a little embarrassed. However, the Maldives has expressed its opposition to Indian investment, which has indeed made India a little helpless and angry.
The Indian side may believe that the Maldives' reluctance to invest in India is due to the fact that they are already on the side of China. However, judging by the comments of Indian netizens, this does not seem to be the case. Many Indian netizens feel that India does not have a good relationship with its neighbors, and they just talk about it. In contrast, China has taken many steps to support the reconstruction of the Maldives rather than to occupy it.
In addition, Chinese spend more money in the Maldives than Indians, thus creating greater economic benefits for the Maldives. This time, Indians will not support India anymore. The fact that the Maldives does not allow Indian investment has nothing to do with China, but India has become the target of public criticism, is also a good example.
The Maldives is an independent country and naturally makes decisions that are best for the country. China's infrastructure construction in the Maldives is also carried out under the framework of the "Belt and Road". On the other hand, India's overseas investment projects seem to be more inclined to its own strategy, and do not pay much attention to the actual needs and development direction of the Maldives. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Maldives is reluctant to invest in India.
You see, even Indian netizens know this. A particularly striking example of this is that most of China's projects in the Maldives are infrastructure projectsAs for India, not to mention, there is a lot of military equipment there. Such a choice, which country it is placed on, will have an answer.
