The Chinese Coast Guard has recently responded decisively to the Philippines' provocative actions in the waters adjacent to Scarborough Shoal and Second Thomas Shoal. However, the Philippines has not only complained everywhere and shifted the blame for the conflict to China, but has also received support from the US-led camp. In this ** war, India also joined in, sending a Kamota-class anti-submarine frigate to visit the Philippines and said it would assist the Philippines in defending its so-called "territorial sea sovereignty". However, just as India was cheering for the Philippines, India realized the seriousness of the problem and warned that its own backyard may have been "spied on" by Chinese submarines, and once the situation deteriorates, India may fall into a "triangle of death"!What's going on here?
However, on December 19, the EurAsia Times published an article titled "Chinese submarine "infiltrates" India's backyard", once again exaggerating the "China threat", and the focus of the hype in the Indian media this time is on overseas ports built by China. The port, Bangladesh's first modern submarine base, was inaugurated in March this year. Prior to the completion of the submarine base, Bangladesh purchased two Type 035G diesel-electric attack submarines from China. However, Bangladesh did not have the capacity to implement supporting facilities on its own, so it had to turn to China for help, and this military port, which could accommodate six submarines and eight **, was built. According to an analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a U.S. think tank, the PLA will also send experts to instruct Bangladesh on how to use the base and submarines.
In addition, at the induction ceremony called the Hasina submarine base, the content of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was uneasy for India, despite the fact that she was present in a ** manner. The female prime minister not only thanked China for its help, but also specifically declared that ships sailing in the Bay of Bengal could use the base as a service point to temporarily dock, which also hinted that the PLA's naval ** boats would appear in this military port in the future. We note that India has been threatening force against its neighbors with its arrogance and long-standing dependence on importing large quantities of military power, especially in terms of demonstrating maritime supremacy, and India has been trying to impose a long-term blockade of the coastlines of Pakistan to the west and Bangladesh to the east.
However, with Chinese-made submarines occupying a stronghold in the Hasina military port, and even the Liberation ** boat visiting from time to time, for India, its "backyard" is as if it has been "snooped" by Chinese submarines. China's construction of the ports of Hasina, Hambantota and Gwadar in South Asia is seen by India as more terrifying because it will form a "triangle of death" to contain India. All three ports were built with Chinese assistance, notably the Gwadar port, which China has been granted a lease of up to 43 years. Due to its long-standing hostile relations with India, the "Pakistan" navy was forced to relocate its capital from Karachi on the edge of the Arabian Sea to Rawalpindi, and finally to Islamabad, which is deep inland.
With the successive introduction of four 054AP frigates and eight S20P conventionally powered submarines assisted by China, the strength of the "Pakistan Railway" Navy has been continuously strengthened, posing a greater and greater sting to India's "glass heart". It is worth noting that although India has purchased a large amount of foreign naval equipment in recent years, it is still trying to develop its own naval equipment in order to turn the Indian Ocean into an "Indian Ocean." India recently approved a proposal to build a second domestically built aircraft carrier, but it will take at least 8 to 10 years to realize the "three-carrier dream". However, considering India's lack of technology reserves and project management, the issue of delays in particular has attracted the attention of the world.
In addition, India proposed the P-75I submarine project, planning to build 6 advanced conventional submarines, but because India's requirements are too demanding, Germany, Russia, Japan and other countries have withdrawn from the project tender, unwilling to get involved in this troublesome project. It should be emphasized that China's cooperation with relevant countries is in line with international norms, and there is no threat as India** has speculated. If you insist on distorting the facts, you will only bring more trouble to yourself.
