At the beginning of 2023, China plans to send the research ship Xiangyanghong to the Indian Ocean to carry out scientific research work, and plans to call at a port in Sri Lanka. However, India is conservative about China's activities in its backyard and expanding its influence. Under pressure from India, Sri Lanka** suddenly released a rumor that research ships, including China, would be prohibited from docking at its ports and from carrying out scientific research activities in its exclusive economic zone.
This incident undoubtedly worries China, because Sri Lanka's breach of the treaty is clearly aimed at China. As a small country, Sri Lanka is difficult to resist in the face of India's pressure, so it can only choose to cater to India and turn its back on China. China's diplomatic work is facing a severe test, and it must find a solution to maintain the normal operation of the research vessel.
In the face of Sri Lanka's breach of the treaty, China had to find another way. China has sent a request to the Maldives to obtain permission for the research vessel to dock at ports in the Maldives. The Maldives is a friendly country of China, and the two sides have always maintained good cooperative relations. Especially at the beginning of 2023, the Maldives** Mouiz chose China as the destination of his first foreign visit, elevating China-Maldives relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
The Maldives responded positively to China's request and immediately issued instructions to allow Chinese research vessels to dock at ports for personnel rotation and material replenishment. This news was highly appreciated by China, which expressed its gratitude to the Maldives for the convenience and assistance provided.
The Maldives' decision to allow Chinese research vessels to dock is undoubtedly an important victory for China. This is not only a reflection of the close relationship between China and Malaysia, but also a successful move in China's diplomatic strategy. The Maldives' positive response demonstrates China's international influence and its importance in South Asia.
However, the Maldives' move could cause displeasure in India. India has always viewed the Indian Ocean as its sphere of influence and has been wary of other countries' activities in the region. The arrival of the Chinese research ship has undoubtedly broken India's hegemony in the Indian Ocean, so it is possible that India will take the opportunity to put pressure on the Maldives.
In the face of this potential threat, China needs to further strengthen its support and assistance to the Maldives. The Maldives is a small country with a relatively weak strength that cannot compete with India. China's support will provide important protection and support to the Maldives to ensure its stability and independence in the face of Indian pressure.
This research ship incident can be described as the beginning of a diplomatic secret war between China and India. By seeking assistance from the Maldives, China was able to obtain permission for a research vessel to call at a port, breaking India's impediment to its expansion in the Indian Ocean. This is undoubtedly a victory for China, showing China's flexibility and strength in diplomatic strategy.
However, India will not throw in the towel easily. They are arrogant and unwilling to see China expand its influence in the Indian Ocean. They are likely to retaliate in order to suppress the Maldives and demonstrate their hegemony in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region.
Therefore, for China, it is not only necessary to appreciate the Maldives' move, but also to provide support and assistance. It is only through cooperation with the Maldives and the provision of the necessary support that it can be ensured that it will be able to remain stable and independent in the face of Indian pressure.
The research vessel incident demonstrates the flexibility and strength of China's diplomacy. Through cooperation with the Maldives, China has successfully solved the problem of obstruction of research ships in Sri Lanka and also broken India's hegemony in the Indian Ocean region.
However, this is only the beginning of a diplomatic dark war between China and India. India will not rest on its laurels and will act to push back against China and assert its influence in the region. For China, it is crucial to continue to support and strengthen cooperation with the Maldives to ensure that it can develop steadily and safeguard its interests in the face of Indian pressure.
Through this incident, we should also realize that diplomatic struggle is not only to confront other countries, but also to safeguard the interests and status of our country. As a major country, we need to use flexible diplomatic means, strengthen international cooperation, and safeguard our position and voice in international affairs. Only in this way can we truly achieve victory in the "diplomatic dark war".
