Sino-Indian borderThe dispute has always beenSino-Indian relationsThe two countries have held many meetings and consultations on this issue, hoping that it can be resolved as soon as possible. However, in the past few years, India has repeatedly changed its mind and made small moves to make its presence feel at China. Recently, the Supreme Court of India also ruled on the legality of the so-called "Ladakh ** Territory", which unilaterally ceded China's territory.
In addition to its actions over the border dispute, India has also shown interest in the South China Sea. Recently, IndiaNavyAn anti-submarine frigate even visited the Philippine capital Manila and met with the PhilippinesNavyMissile frigates cruised together in the South China Sea. The Indian ambassador to the Philippines claimed that the visit would strengthen the presence of India and the PhilippinesMilitaryfield of cooperation, and accusations were made of the "violation" of Chinese ships. India also expressed its support for the Philippines and said it would provide support whenever the Philippines encountered any difficulties.
India's involvement in the South China Sea is not unexpected. Strategically, the Prime Minister of IndiaModiThe goal is to establish India as a world power, and it is crucial for India to participate in global hotspot issues, so intervening in the South China Sea dispute is an inevitable choice for India. In addition, India's actions are related to the U.S. "Indo-Pacific Strategy," which the United States sees as a key partner in achieving its strategic goals, so in recent years, the United States has been inviting India to participate in Pacific affairs. India hopes to use the South China Sea issue to contain China, and then in the South China SeaSino-Indian borderPrevail in disputes.
India's involvement in the South China Sea issue is based on clear practical considerations. First, India hopes to use the Philippines to expand the South China Sea dispute and force China to distract its attention and resources in order to contain China in the South China Sea and gain an advantage in the border dispute. India has always been at a disadvantage on the border issue, especially in terms of logistics and supplies, and there is a big gap with ChinaModi** A big problem. To bridge this gap,ModiIt hopes to confront China by intervening in the South China Sea and gain an advantage in arms sales. Secondly,ModiIt is also hoped that India's self-developed fighter jets and other arms will be sold to the Philippines in order to open up the arms market in Southeast Asia.
However,ModiExpectations are not always met. While India has engaged in the South China Sea by supporting the Philippines, it remains to be seen whether it will be able to achieve its goals. China's firm stance on the South China Sea and the fact that the dispute between the Philippines and China has not been effectively resolved, India's involvement may not be fully supported by the Philippines. In addition, China is inMilitaryGiven certain advantages in terms of equipment, the Philippines is not easy to abandon its economic relationship with China in favor of India's arms. Therefore,ModiWhether the abacus can be played is still to be tested by time.
Judging from India's intervention in the South China Sea issue, the motives and considerations behind it are very obvious. India wants to change by introducing the South China Sea factorSino-Indian borderand with the support of the Philippines, it has expanded its influence in the South China Sea. However, it remains to be seen whether India will actually be able to achieve its goals. In the current international situation, China's firm position on the South China Sea issue and the unresolved dispute with the Philippines make India's plan face certain difficulties. At the same time, whether the Philippines chooses India for arms procurement needs to take into account all factors, not just the South China Sea issue. Overall, India's involvement in the South China Sea will bring more uncertainty to the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, but whether it can truly change the current landscape will need to be seen in its follow-up and the direction of international politics.
