The Maldives, a small country in the Indian Ocean, has a population of only 600,000 and is not as large as one of our provinces. Such a small country has always been regarded by India as its own backyard in the past, and the Indian government can handle it as it wants. However, since the new president of the Maldives, Muizu, came to power with the support of the people, India's influence on the Maldives has become weaker and weaker, and with the support of the people, the current president is very bold. Not only did he succeed in expelling the Indian troops stationed in the Maldives, but he also began to visit China instead of the previous option of the Maldivian president to visit India for the first time after taking office. This has made India a little unhappy, and many Indian media have criticized the Maldives for being ungrateful, and the Indian government has also asked the Maldives to return to its camp.
So here's the problem, as the saying goes, a melon that is twisted is always not sweet, and the matter of affection is about your love and my willingness. If the Maldives is not happy, why does India have to control the Maldives?
In fact, this is a question that not only the Maldives wants to know, but almost all the countries surrounding India. As the hegemon of South Asia, India should have the responsibility to defend its territory and defend one side. However, it is not pursuing a policy of good-neighborliness and friendship, and decades have passed since the founding of India in 1947, and almost all the countries surrounding India have been bullied by successive Indian prime ministers. This is why India has always asked itself in the international community why it is not being treated well by its neighbors.
Take the Maldives, for example, once upon a time, the Maldives also treated India as if it were a big brother. This is not only because of India's strong national strength, but also because India is one of the few big countries around the Maldives, which is a neighbor position given by God, and the geopolitically destined Maldives has no way to completely get rid of India's influence. For a small island nation in the Indian Ocean, this can still make up for the loss of dignity to a certain extent.
After all, in this world, the law of the jungle is the norm of survival, and since the Maldives does not have the strength to walk sideways in front of India, it is not unacceptable to listen to India within the scope of personality acceptance. After all, even Sri Lanka in the north has been bullied by India, and what can be said about the Maldives, which has less than 1/10 of Sri Lanka in population and area?
But the crux of the matter is that India is a country that often bullies its neighbors. The Maldives is already very religious, but India still does not care about sending troops to the Maldives. Isn't this a blatant use of the Maldives as its own backyard? Moreover, the Maldives has insufficient reserves of fresh water and food, and its own population is limited, and now it has to allocate some of it to supply the Indian army. That's it, the key is that the military skills of the Indian army in the Maldives are not very good, and the three third brothers dare to attack the crocodile when they get together, not to mention tens of thousands of Indian soldiers. In fact, all over the world, there are only a handful of protesting troops stationed overseas without incurring local people, and the Americans can't do this, let alone India, so the imbalance in the relationship between the Maldives and India is inevitable.
It can be said that India's stationing of troops in the Maldives was the last straw that crushed the relationship between India and the Maldives, and the Maldives also saw the true face of India, since it could not win India's respect if it served India with sincerity. The Maldives will inevitably be disappointed.
All in all, it is precisely because of the barbaric actions of the Indian government that the Maldives tends to be desperate, but even so, the Indian government still does not realize its mistake and always thinks that it can be rescued, especially when the Maldives chooses to cooperate with China, India is completely panicked.
The reason is also very simple, because although the Maldives is a small country in South Asia, India is still not worried about its cooperation with China.
In the current era of peace, although peace and development are still the main theme of the world, the risk of war still exists. Therefore, although everyone in the current world powers does not seem to have the idea of firing the first shot, it is indispensable to guard against others. India is no exception.
Originally, India's geographical advantage was very good, there were mountains in the west and east, the Indian Ocean in the south, and there was no strength in the whole of South Asia that could defeat India's power. But India's bad luck is bad luck, it has a neighbor like us. Although there is no country in South Asia that can compete with India, there is a China in the northeast, which makes the warmongers in India a little sleepless.
In particular, India has seized 90,000 square kilometers of southern Tibet from us, and the so-called thief is not weak, which makes India even more afraid
Originally, India's geographical advantages were quite good, the plains in the north were suitable for farming, and the mountains in the south had strategic depth. But the crux of the matter is that the Tibetan Plateau in northern India is under our control, and we can easily invade the Gangetic plain in India. The war of 1962 had amply demonstrated this point, if it weren't for the changes in the international situation that year, the recovery of the United States and the Soviet Union from the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the fact that we didn't want to do anything to India, we just wanted to slap him in the face and give him some unforgettable memories. Otherwise, we would have been able to occupy the rich regions of northern India in a short period of time.
You must know that more than 80% of India's population economy is concentrated in the Gangetic Plain in the north, which can almost be said to be the essence of India, a proper cabbage heart. Once this place is occupied by us, although the Indian government can retreat to the southern mountains, it will already be a remnant of life and lose its vitality, which is no different from destroying the country.
For India, the aftermath of this war can also be said to be fresh in its memory. Therefore, with the lesson of that time, India is completely unreassuring to us. From India's point of view, if India wants to ensure its national security, it must draw its own strategic buffer zone around it, and the buffer zone that India imagined before the 1962 war was our Tibet Autonomous Region. At that time, India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, also dared to think that in his reply to us, if India wants to stop military operations on the Sino-Indian border, then we will be required to withdraw all our troops to Sichuan, assign Tibet to India, and at least let Tibet become independent, so that India can feel safe.
Needless to say, we are of course very dissatisfied with Nehru's reply. Not an inch of land left by our ancestors can make people let alone Tibet, which covers an area of more than one-tenth of China's territory? Therefore, with regard to India's barbaric reply, we have one attitude and four words, and we will not accept the war.
And so the war broke out in 1962.
Although we won that war, India's ambitions were not defeated by us. Or that as long as India is alive, he must have the ambitions of a great power, and since India has the ambitions of a great power, he will certainly not be at ease with us on his northeastern border. It's just that although India is still secretly supporting the poisonous monk who fled from Tibet back then, he also knows that with the continuous expansion of the power of China and India, Tibet and India cannot take it by themselves, so he can only bully the soft persimmon and draw a part of the buffer zone from other places. The so-called dead friends do not die poor, so the three small countries of Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan between the Sino-Indian border are unlucky.
To put it bluntly, the general policy of India's diplomatic layout in South Asia over the past few years is that India must ensure that the whole of South Asia listens to itself and eats its own food under its own control. The worst and the worst will not allow our forces to come to South Asia. Especially in the heart of the Himalayas on our border with India. India has almost adopted a colonial policy towards Nepal and Bhutan in the region, and if it did not obey, the 1975 coup d'état in Sikkim was a lesson in the past. As for nearby Myanmar and Bangladesh, although India has not engaged in military stationing, it has also fought a lot of sugar-coated shells.
A few days ago, Sri Lanka allowed our research ship to land in the port of Colombo, India was very dissatisfied, several foreign ministers flew over, and all kinds of pressure was applied both soft and hard, and Sri Lanka finally relented and began to listen to India's words and refused to allow our ships to dock. In this struggle, India still has the upper hand. All in all, India has made many moves in South Asia, with only one general purpose, and that is to prevent our forces from entering India's buffer zone. Otherwise, once we unknowingly gather military forces around India, India will not be able to sleep.
But now the Maldives is about to slap India in the face, and the Maldives has made up its mind to carry out economic cooperation with China.
The reason why the Maldives abandoned India and chose to cooperate with us is also very simple, because we have never bullied our neighbors like India, thanks to so many years of good reputation, countries around the world understand that even if it is a small country, China will treat each other with courtesy and respect the sovereignty and independence of other countries. We did not use the Maldives as a pawn, and in the past 10 years, we have provided a lot of financial assistance to the Maldives, but we have not interfered in the internal and foreign affairs of the Maldives like India. And the assistance we provide is real infrastructure, such as the China-Malaysia Friendship Bridge, the affordable housing project in the Maldives and the Velana International Airport, although India wants to do something practical for the Maldives, but its own technology is not good, and the mind is not pure enough.
To put it mildly, the Maldives has been the boss of India for decades, and if India is a little determined, he has built the Maldives very well, and it will not let us take advantage of it now.
But then again, even though the President of the Maldives has already come to visit our country today, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi still ran to the nearest Indian island to the Maldives to enjoy his vacation. His purpose is clear, that is, although the Maldives has come to visit China, it still cannot change the fact that the Maldives is only a few hundred nautical miles from India. Since Modi can enjoy holidays on the islands near the Maldives, so can the Indian army.
Of course, as for whether this holiday is good, only Modi himself can know.
