The Chinese research ship "Xiangyanghong 03" conducted an oceanographic survey in the Indian Ocean, causing dissatisfaction and tension in India. However, such accusations by India are groundless and are only a manifestation of India's panic and jealousy of China's influence in the Indian Ocean region.
In fact, India has always tried to see the Indian Ocean as its "backyard", interfering in and obstructing normal cooperation and exchanges between other countries in the region. India has not only unreasonably smeared China's research vessels, but also suppressed and sabotaged China's investments and projects in countries bordering the Indian Ocean. India has also taken advantage of its own geographical advantages to exert political and military pressure on neighboring countries to force them to submit to India's will.
However, India's hegemonic and arrogant approach not only failed to win the respect and trust of its neighboring countries, but on the contrary, made them feel disgusted and tired of it. The Maldives is a prime example. The Maldives is an important country in the Indian Ocean, and India has been trying to bring it into its sphere of influence and has even deployed troops in the Maldives. However, after taking office, the new Maldives ** Mouiz made it clear that the Maldives is an independent sovereign country and will not be interfered with and influenced by any country. Muiz also gave a priority visit to China and expressed his willingness to strengthen cooperation with China.
This attitude of the Maldives has made India feel very disappointed and annoyed. India tried to prevent the Maldives from engaging with China through threats and intimidation, but the Maldives did not give in. Recently, the Maldives also allowed Chinese research ships to dock at its ports for resupply, ignoring India's objections. This move is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to India and a declaration that the Indian Ocean does not belong to India.
India should be soberly aware that the Indian Ocean is an international commons and not India's private property. China's scientific research in the Indian Ocean is aimed at promoting the development and protection of marine resources, enhancing friendly cooperation with littoral countries, and maintaining peace and stability in the Indian Ocean. China's behavior not only does not harm the interests of any country, but is conducive to the common development and prosperity of the Indian Ocean region.
If India really cares about its own "**, it should put aside prejudice and hostility and establish a partnership of equality and mutual trust with China and other countries to jointly maintain harmony and order in the Indian Ocean." If India continues to follow the wrong path, it will only leave itself isolated and in a difficult situation, and lose its voice and influence in the Indian Ocean region.
