China’s New ‘Look South Policy’ Isolates India In Its Own Backyard As PLA Looks To Dominate ‘World’s Largest’ Bay
Eurasian Times ^ | 5/7/2023 | Ritu Sharma

India considers the Bay of Bengal as its immediate area of dominance and has been augmenting the military capability of the littoral countries. However, China has beaten India to the punch with its spending power.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina unveiled the country’s first submarine base called BNS Sheikh Hasina, located in Cox’s Bazaar.

The ‘state-of-the-art’ submarine base was constructed with China’s help under a contract signed in September 2019. The submarine facility can berth six submarines and eight naval vessels simultaneously.

With the country having two submarines of its own, Bangladesh’s PM said that besides helping the country to protect its maritime assets, the base would benefit the “vessels traversing the Bay of Bengal.” This means that a Chinese submarine can also dock at the base in the future.

“For India, the presence of Chinese-built submarines in the Bay of Bengal, in a way, makes it a very crowded water body as far as underwater activities are concerned. And it also legitimizes the Chinese presence in more ways than one. It complicates the underwater picture for India,” Commodore (retd) Uday C. Bhaskar, Director of the Society for Policy Studies, told the EurAsian Times.

India needs to abandon its friendship with the Russo-China block and instead join the alliance of the free peoples.

Well I’ve been thinking that China really can’t help itself when it comes to screwing over other nation’s interests, and I doubt those BRICS nations are going to be as patient, or stupid, as we have been.

Of course we have our own problems with China and Venezuela. So do you think China is overextending itself with all of this?

It needs to, but it won’t. India wants to be part of the eastern axis AGAINST the West.

It’s still hard to say whether the chinese navy’s submarines in their waters and the chinese army’s loudspeakers at the border taunting with Punjabi music will intimidate India, or finally trigger it.

I dislike India. The way it treats its minorities is horrible.

More saber-rattling by the “China is superman” cult.

China, thru its suicidal abortion and one-child policy, is on a fast track to become a nation of grandpas and grandmas. India would crush these Han ChiComm old goats in a land war.

one-child policy

I think that ended in 2016. They are up to 3-child policy now.

Only reason they had 1-child policy for a time was to yield a scarcity of females, to spur men into copulating with women in Southeast Asia and Africa to begin extending the empire.

Imagine downplaying any foreign threat by portraying anyone interested in national security against foreign threats as "supermanizing" foreign nations. How important the work is to eliminate the national security cult! We can start by using people's arrogance against them by feeding the notion that they are more enlightened than others with their ability to see straight through a foreign nation's burgeoning military, economic and diplomatic might and "recognizing" they are no threat; or visiting that nation and seeing the streets brimming with young adults but still "recognizing" they are all elderly, or better yet gaining this insight without even seeing it.
