In fact it's the most logical and quite frankly the most obvious thing to do, that too merely out of self preservation. It could be that you don't think so because it's fashionable in many countries to actively act against the interests of your own government and country, in India we call it being an anti-national, but maybe that would be a compliment where you are from.

[@LetoAtreides-i4c]

From the description that China is worried about its trade through Malacca strait being choked off by adversaries, it looks like China's expanding influence in the Indian ocean is more defensive than aggressive. If China's increasing presence in the Indian ocean is a threat to India, then US's military presence all around China poses a threat 10 times greater to China. One cannot deem one as a threat and the other as benign. Once one filters out the media bias, then one sees that the fundamental problem is the security competition between great powers that traps them in the security dilemma, not because one country is bad and the other is good. The question is how to manage such security competitions to prevent it from spiraling out of control like the war in Ukraine. Actions that seek to intensify the security competition so that one side wins over another is extremely dangerous and need to be called out.

That's the nature of territorial disputes, and there is no reason to expect China to forfeit its territorial claims any more than the Philippines. India's neighbors also have no problem with China increasing its presence around India, but it doesn't mean that India has no problem. That's exactly what the logic of security competition predicts. Ignoring and rejecting the fact the driving dynamic is a great power competition and security competition will only lead to policies that further exacerbate this competition and increase the risk of war.

India currently has 4 nuclear submarines. The 3rd submarine, INS Ardiman has been spotted many times by satellites since 2022. The last and final submarine of this class was launched in mid 2024. Believed to be in sea trails right now. The official number is still 2 because the Indian navy likes to keep its nuclear arsenal under uncertainty. The S5 class, the next generation of Indian SSBN’s is completing design phases. Once the first submarine of the S5 class goes into construction, India will officially induct the other 2 Arihant class submarines. This is just an observation. The arihantt was first spotted in 2015 but India didn’t officially induct it until the 3rd submarine had entered sea trials in 2020.

I'm shocked at the comments of people not realizing that it is China's interests to see India economic and even military influence rise in the region. It's in their strategic interests that India a country that will always consider itself independent and will never formerly join an alliance rises to their level and challenge the US who wants to dominate the world until the end of times. The dynamics is very simple, the world order is dominated by the west, The US is the leader in the west thus is the leader of the world order, the rise of China mechanically reduced the US influence in global affairs as its economic, military and technological influence rose If another nation like India that considers itself non-aligned and refuses to join western alliance's rises, the same mechanically movement will occur and the US influence will automatically decline further in the world and true multipolarism will be created. It is the reason why the Chinese are not acting with India the same way they're acting with the philippines or Japan, they did everything to stabilize the border and stabilize the relationship because they ultimately believe that India's rise is in their strategic interests in order to weaken the US global influence further. Their ambassador even said it in a forum of the Asia society this year.

[@Voltaicz]

@@Charles-qe7kc the main problem with China from an Indian perspective is (I’m Tamil Indian so I can tell) is that they interfere in our neighborhood constantly funding and aiding Pakistan and now Bangladesh and making the countries closest to us geographically go against us. They surround us and while they aren’t as agressive now, it’s still relevant. If China backs away from our territory leaving Kashmir and dropping claims on our land, aswell as pressuring Pakistan to normalize relations, that will form a good alliance with the nations or atleast improve relations enough so that we will prefer China over the USA because we already like Russia and the US is increasingly getting into our politics and protecting separatists (khalistanis) who claim that Sikh’s are being treated badly when in reality, sikhs in India like to live in India and not another country.

[@lagrangewei]

@@Voltaicz if India isn't bullying them, would these countries seek other country to counterbalance India? it is not China fault that India do not get love from its neighbours, India can't blame it bossy atittude that drives other away on China. furthermore, it is India that is claiming China land. the British never control that land, just because you draw a map does not mean you control it, India has to come to term with reality and history and recognise its own aggression. China is willing to make the line of control the defacto border, it is India that always insist on winning everything that cause the dispute to go on endlessly. it is why all of India's neighbour prefer China to India. India should reflect on why it is losing the popularity contest.

[@Voltaicz]

@@lagrangewei Tibet was the kingdom that kept India and China at peace. Because China annexed Tibet, it has a border with India. That then made China to claim and take some land from India. Sikkim willingly joined India and Bhutan is allied with India because China claims some land and this started due to the annexation of Tibet. After China invaded India in 1965, it allied itself with Pakistan which sealed the relations for the res lot of the century. India helped Bangladesh gain its independence after the genocide by Pakistan. Nepal and India relations were fairly neutral since 1947.

[@danielzhang1916]

if China really wants to help India, then why would it support Pakistan and other countries instead? that seems like doing the opposite of working toward that goal, why would it have a "border fight" with India? if the US wants to dominate the world, why would it help to revive NATO and other partnerships, why not do it on their own? people don't trust China because it says it wants friendship but does the opposite, what would other countries think?

India’s submarine base is not challenging China but rather the United States. This is why the U.S. once pressured Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to transfer St. Martin’s Island, which is near the new Indian submarine base. Indians are very angry about this matter. Indians believe that the Indian Ocean belongs to them. Interestingly, Americans think the same way. Finally, I don’t think this naval base poses any challenge to China. It should be noted that India’s capital is just over 300 kilometers from the China-India border. If the capital is gone, what would be the point of a naval base?😂
