After pressuring Sri Lanka not to allow the Chinese scientific research ship to dock at the port, India suffered the same trick here in the Maldives, and after the end of Muiz's visit to China, he directly fulfilled his promise that "the Indian Ocean does not belong to any country", and allowed China's "Xiangyanghong 03" scientific research ship to dock at the port of the Maldives despite India's obstruction, which is also to tell the outside world that the Maldives is not India's "backyard".
According to the Observer, Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar recently answered a series of questions when interacting with students at the Indian Institute of Management, mainly involving China, tensions between India and the Maldives, the "neighbor first" policy, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
To be honest, if it weren't for those ubiquitous small actions, India's words would indeed have the "demeanor of a great power", but combined with India's words and deeds, it is not difficult to find that when India said this, it actually seemed very funny.
Including the previous Indian senior ** Singh also directly exposed his feet, he directly linked the stability of the Sino-Indian border with the treatment of Chinese enterprises in India, the potential meaning is that China needs to make concessions on the border issue, then India will "open the net" to Chinese companies in India, which actually also exposes India's lack of self-confidence, and can only force China to make concessions through these small actions that cannot be put on the table.
And when it comes to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, India is actually quite hit, compared with the United States aircraft carriers and Western countries, China's ** in the Red Sea can be said to be a very rare existence, but this does not affect the five-star red flag to become the "talisman" of the Red Sea, many Western ** also confirmed that Western shipping companies are applying for the five-star red flag to cross the Red Sea.
India, on the other hand, does not participate in U.S. escort operations in the Red Sea, but it has deployed its navy near the Red Sea, sending a full 10** ships from the northern and central Arabian Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
However, the Indian Navy did not dare to enter the Red Sea within the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and only dared to wander nearby, after all, the Houthi armed US ** ships dared to fight, and India ** was likely to be more than lucky, but this did not prevent the Indian Navy from brushing its presence everywhere in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea outside the Red Sea The smoke was the first of the Indian Navy to arrive at the scene, and the American freighter was attacked by Houthi drones in the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian destroyer was the first to respond.
But India's initial statement was to protect ships flying the Indian flag, and India used to deploy at most 2 **, which felt completely sufficient, and now India is engaged in such a big battle, and it is also very enthusiastic to help ships in distress nearby, even the US media believe that India's motives are not simple, and it may be India's main purpose to show off its muscles.
As for who the show is for, in addition to some countries along the Indian Ocean coast, foreign media also mentioned China as expected, so Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar claimed that he was "not afraid of China" and wanted to compete fairly with China, but India's behavior was to directly betray itself, and even the outside world felt that India was not confident.
If India's mentality is really flattened, then it should actually be more like China, focusing on improving itself, showing the demeanor of a great power, and attracting other countries to take the initiative to get closer, rather than forcing some countries to get closer to themselves through deterrence, flexing muscles and even selling favors like India, and the relationship created by the latter way is naturally false and not long-lasting, which can be illustrated by the fact that the Maldives is fed up with India's oppression and begins to fight back.
