In recent years, India has taken advantage of the turbulent situation in the global landscape and flexibly used the game between hegemonic and anti-hegemonic forces to achieve a two-sided approach and gain the greatest benefits. At the same time, India has further pursued its status as a great power by meddling in regional affairs that are not relevant to its own. Recently, India** suddenly arrived in the Philippines and publicly expressed its support for the Philippines, especially on the South China Sea issue, which caused great trouble to the regional peace situation. India's actions are not only surprising, but also cause concern and concern on all sides.
The emergence of India can be said to be at the right time, benefiting from the global economic downturn, the Indian economy has shown a good momentum of development. India** has set new highs in a row and its market capitalization has reached new heights. At the same time, India's economic growth exceeded expectations and the pace rose again. These positive economic figures have made India one of the key players in today's world landscape. India has taken advantage of the favorable moment in the global turmoil to skillfully pursue its own best interests between hegemonic and counter-hegemonic forces.
In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, India has fully demonstrated its ability to flexibly use hegemony and counter-hegemony games. Taking advantage of the chaos to make profits, India has played very skillfully in the period of better strategic opportunities in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. India took full advantage of Western countries' support for Ukraine, bought Russian oil at low prices, and then resold it to Europe, making a huge profit. This practice of taking advantage of the chaos to make profits has given India a taste of the sweetness, and it has begun to learn from the way the United States took advantage of the chaos to make profits. At the same time, India began to learn from the United States' meddling in regional affairs that had nothing to do with it, and it progressed almost simultaneously.
India's recent high-profile actions in the South China Sea have attracted widespread attention. The Philippines' misconduct in the South China Sea has caused trouble with regional peace and posed a threat to China's security. However, against the backdrop of the Philippines' destabilizing of the situation in the South China Sea, India has supported the Philippines in various ways and sent a signal to the outside world through military exercises and other actions. This action is in fact a dangerous signal that India has other agendas.
After India** arrived in the Philippines, Indian Ambassador to the Philippines Malan publicly expressed his support for the Philippines. "The Philippines is located at the heart of the Indo-Pacific, and promoting peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific is a priority for India," he said. India has even said it will be strongly involved in security activities in the South China Sea. These statements suggest that India wants to use the South China Sea issue to increase its influence in the region and to reap the benefits of it.
However, the South China Sea is not directly related to India, which has been cautious about the issue for many years. Now it has publicly announced that it wants to strongly intervene in the South China Sea issue, which is indeed a very rare action. India's move means that India is using the South China Sea as a lever to achieve its status as a great power, and at the same time, it also wants to take advantage of the chaos to gain benefits. India is clearly not supporting the Philippines for the sake of the Philippines itself, but wants to use the Philippines to achieve its ulterior purposes.
At the same time, India abruptly announced the restoration of the status of a "state" in the Jammu and Kashmir region, the removal of autonomy in these areas, and the deployment of a large number of missiles in areas close to the Chinese border. This suggests that India's goal is not limited to the South China Sea issue, but rather to encroach on China's territorial rights and interests in the region. The Chinese side responded to India's actions by saying that it would not recognize India's so-called "direct territories" over the Jammu and Kashmir region and stressing that India has no right to adjudicate on Chinese territory.
In summary, India's actions have raised concerns and concerns in the South China Sea. India has taken advantage of the hegemonic and anti-hegemonic game to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of both sides, and at the same time it has demonstrated its ability to use it flexibly. However, India's actions are not motivated by genuine concern for the Philippines or the South China Sea region, but rather by self-interest. India's actions also caused alarm on the part of the Chinese side, which reacted.
