News India Live, Digital Desk: It is often said that friendship with a neighbor is good, but if the intentions of the neighbor are not good then the worry increases. Something similar is happening with our neighbor China! The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) has released a very serious report, which has increased India’s concerns. This report has revealed that China is planning to build its military bases or logistics facilities in our neighboring countries – Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. This is not just a small step, but experts believe that this is a part of China’s ‘String of Pearls’ strategy to encircle India!

What does the American report say?

The Pentagon’s recent annual report titled “Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China” clearly states that China is continuously exploring the possibility of expanding overseas military facilities for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The report specifically mentions the possibility of China’s military or logistics presence in India’s neighboring countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Pakistan has also been placed in this category, although it is considered a little different due to its deep strategic relations with China.

Why is this a matter of concern for India?

India considers the Indian Ocean as its sphere of strategic influence and in such a situation, China’s military presence or even logistics bases in neighboring countries can create new security challenges for India. This will give China an opportunity to show its military strength near important sea routes like the Malacca Strait and the Bay of Bengal. Experts say that this step of China may not only be to increase its maritime power, but also to reduce India’s influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

• Dominance on sea routes: China aims to expand its military reach to key sea lines of communication such as the Malacca Strait. China considers the Malacca Strait as its biggest ‘choke point’, where the US and Indian navies can surround it.
• logistical support: The report also states that China is providing large quantities of advanced military equipment and fighter aircraft (such as J-10C fighter jets) and submarines to its neighboring countries, especially Pakistan. Bangladesh has also received submarines and warships in recent years, which has increased the naval capability of these countries.

Such activities indicate that China is now working more openly on military reach and presence along with infrastructure and economic ties under its ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ (BRI). To deal with any such potential threat, India is also continuously strengthening its security preparedness, especially naval capabilities and surveillance systems.
