1. Introduction: China refuses to enter the scientific research ship, IndiaBut let it go, and the Indian media said that India won again?
Recently, China and India have flare-up in conflict around Sri Lanka and the Maldives. However, the two countries were treated very differently.

But later, the Chinese research ship"Xiangyanghong No. 3"Change destinations and make a stop in the MaldivesPorts, which made India very angry. Judging from the past relationship between India and the Maldives, the Maldives may not agree to the entry of Chinese research ships. However, with the breakdown of relations between the Maldives and India, the Chinese research ship was given the opportunity to dock. India considers the behaviour of the Maldives to be very inappropriate. India also celebrated the rejection of a Chinese research ship in Sri Lanka earlier. However, in the blink of an eye, the Chinese research ship found a docking place, and it was also the Maldives, which has good relations with India. For India, this is completely unacceptable. The Maldives' disobedience to India's orders has a lot to do with India's forced withdrawal of troops from the Maldives and its unauthorized entry of the Indian Coast Guard into Maldivian waters without official permission. Now, the Maldives are increasingly aware that they can no longer allow India to do whatever it wants in their own territory, and they are trying to find forces equal to or even surpass India's military presence in the Maldives to counterbalance India's assertiveness in its own territory. The port call of the Chinese research ship is a declaration of war by the Maldives. However, India did not stop because of the actions of the Maldives, on the contrary, they strengthened their presence in the regionMilitaryand strategic deployment.
