In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the Indo-Pacific region from Western countries. The United States sees NATO as its strategic tool, trying to penetrate the Indo-Pacific region to compete with China. Not only that, but European countries and NATO members such as Canada also have a global influence on the Indo-Pacific regionEconomyand geopolitical status. These countries' "strategic interest" in the Indo-Pacific region is closely linked to China's rise.
Specifically, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries actively participated in the NATO summit and expressed their strong willingness to join NATO. In addition, GermanyAir ForceIt also plans to join the Indo-Pacific region next year and further intervene in the Indo-Pacific. These actions show that Western countries are paying more attention to the Indo-Pacific region.
In the face of the pressure of Western countries, India is newAircraft carriershas also been interpreted as a response to the rise of China's maritime power. However, India is more concerned about strengthening theIndian Oceanand enhance its influence in the region. At present, China's maritime power is mainly concentrated in the Pacific region, while Western maritime power is accelerating its buildup in the Indo-Pacific region. This situation has caused a certain amount of vigilance and uneasiness in India.
However, India is also reluctant to maintain tensions with Western countries. As Western countries extend a helping hand to the Indo-Pacific, India and China, two "natives" in the Indo-Pacific region, have naturally become natural "allies". At the same time, Russia is already in a fierce conflict with Western countries, and emerging countries are rising rapidly. In the face of Western persecution, this force will be more united and build a strong alliance.
As two important countries in the Indo-Pacific region, how China and India should respond to the West's meddling in the Indo-Pacific is a question worth considering.
First, China and India need to maintain a high degree of vigilance, pay close attention to the movements of Western countries in the Indo-Pacific region, and formulate corresponding response strategies. Second, the two sides can continue to engage in dialogue on the border issue, resolve differences through dialogue and cooperation, and maintain stability and peace in the border areas.
In addition, China can also increase its support for India to strengthen cooperation between the two countries.

To sum up, the situation in the Indo-Pacific region is changing dramatically, and the interest of Western countries in this region has increased significantly. China and India, as locals, face common opportunities and challenges. Only through cooperation and dialogue and joint response to external pressures can we ensure the stability and development of the Indo-Pacific region. As the self-editors of the two countries, we should think about and explore how to promote cooperation between the two sides and jointly achieve development and prosperity.
