There is more than 1,600 kilometers of border between India and Myanmar, which traverses a variety of terrains, including mountains, jungles, and rivers. This makes it extremely difficult to control this area. Especially inNorthern MyanmarAfter the outbreak of the civil war, India became one of the affected countries. A large number of refugees have poured into India, and the security of the border has been threatened. Recently,Burmese Civil WarThe situation gradually subsided, and with the mediation of China, the fire was brought under control. India's response, however, is curious, with resentment with China, regardless of whether there is a ceasefire or not.
According to one report, China successfully mediatedBurmese Civil WarLater, it also promoted the construction process of Kyaukphyu Port in Myanmar. This port is very close to the east coast of India and is even located right next to the upcoming Indian Navy nuclear submarine base. For India, this poses a major threat. The report also pointed out that China's construction of the Kyaukphyu port is actually one of the actions to contain India. Once completed, the port will form a line with the naval base in Cambodia, Hambantota in Sri Lanka, Gwadar in Pakistan and the naval base in the port of Djibouti. It's like bringing a "pearl necklace" to India and enclosing it tightly. India's concerns are justified. According to India's plans, they plan to build a nuclear submarine base on the east coast of India. Once this base is built, it will be located at a distance of about 1,000 kilometers from Kyaukphyu Port. At such a distance, it would be easy for China to use the port of Kyaukphyu to launch an attack on India. However, India, in turn, is unable to reach China. Even India uses the maximum range of the K-15 type submarine launchBallistic missilesIt is also difficult to attack China, and unless the nuclear submarine is close to the coast of Bangladesh, it can barely enter the southern part of China. In addition, India fears that China will be aware of its missile test base on Kalam Island and will monitor all of India's launch tests. As a result, India** is taking various measures to eliminate the Chinese threat, such as installing coastal radars, enabling monitoring of maritime traffic, and so on.
China has repeatedly stressed that the construction of the Gwadar port in Pakistan and the Kyaukphyu port in Myanmar is for economic development and is part of the Belt and Road Initiative. In fact, China-Myanmar cooperation at Kyaukphyu Port began as early as 2011. The signing of this cooperation is only a supplementary agreement to the project, and is not a temporary measure to mediate the aftermath of the war in Myanmar. Therefore, the claims of the Indian side are groundless. India, however, is now moving on to the fullestMilitaryThe field is closer, which is obviously trying to hide their uneasiness. India is so worried about China's presenceIndian OceanDeploymentMilitarypower, because India itself has great ambitions for the region. India willIndian OceanTreat yourself as your own "backyard" and passIndian Oceanshipping routes to contain China. In the past, we used to say that there is a US military base near the Strait of Malacca, so there may be a potential risk to the passage of Chinese ships. But once we have the Kyaukphyu port, Chinese goods can pass through the port to bypass the Strait of Malacca and enter Chinese mainland. However, China, in turn, cannot bypass it in any wayIndian Ocean。India has said,Indian OceanIt is the only ocean in the world named after a country, so in the heart of India,Indian OceanIt's its own "backyard". In addition, in recent years, the United States has continued to promote the so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy.""Indo-Pacific Strategy"It was proposed by the United States to strengthen relations with India and other Asia-Pacific countries in order to curb China's influence in the region. India in order to further controlIndian Ocean, which has increased investment in naval forces, including the development of a blue-water navy, the construction of a new generation of aircraft carriers and advanced submarines, etc. India will also be locatedIndian OceanThe Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the east are considered strategic outposts to monitor and restrict passageIndian OceanChinese ships. In addition, India has also engaged in naval diplomacy activities to deepen its ties with the United States and other Western countriesMilitaryactively participated in various joint exercises, intelligence sharing and maritime patrol activities. In addition, India has used its influence in South Asia to exert pressure on smaller neighboring countries to prevent them from engaging with China. However, India's high-handed behavior has already caused discontent in South Asian countries, such as the Maldives' new ** direct visit to China and the removal of Indian troops in the country. Therefore, India is trying to contain China inIndian OceanThe goal is too large. Finally, as the centre of the South-East Asian region, Myanmar's civil strife and instability pose a great threat to the security of all neighbouring countries and the region as a whole. Therefore, China's mediation of a ceasefire in Myanmar is not only of great significance to China and Myanmar, but also has a positive impact on the entire Southeast Asian region. Against this backdrop, India should also put aside its short-sighted concept of competition and contribute to the achievement of peace and stability in the region.
