China's current praise for india and its dive into the Maldives?
China has fulfilled its expected role by bolstering the anti-Indian, pro-Chinese regime in the maldives and intensifying the current president Mohamed Muizzu's animosity towards New Delhi. china has affirmed its support for the tiny neighbor of India's right to sovereignty. Muizzu received a red carpet welcome, and the maldives and china decided to advance their relationship to a strategic level of collaboration. Currently trying to take on a similar role in the maldives, China—known geopolitically as Pakistan's big brother—is making an effort. china reassures Malé (and subtly communicates to India) that it would not tolerate any outside intervention in the internal affairs of the Maldives.What was the outcome? Following his return from china, Maldivian President Muizzu sharpened his criticism of india, giving New delhi until march 15 to remove its military soldiers stationed there. Considering that india only has 77 unarmed military troops stationed in the maldives, providing medical evacuations and humanitarian relief via two helicopters and one Dornier aircraft that it provides, this is quite strong anti-Indian rhetoric.The financial difficulties of the maldives are partly caused by China. The majority of the loans were granted to the country by Abdulla Yameen's administration, the previous pro-China leader. china possesses 60% of the national debt of the Maldives. Even though the country's GDP is barely USD 5.5 billion, the World bank projects that by 2026, it would be responsible for servicing a record USD 1 billion in foreign debt. The nation is highly vulnerable to external debt problems, the IMF continues.The Maldives' present issues stem from their increasing reliance on Chinese debt, and the country's increasing disadvantage fits right into China's plans to encircle India. china has a "string of pearls" strategy in the indian Ocean region to encircle India. The goal is to establish economic bases in the surrounding nations, which Beijing's debt trap and coercive diplomacy may eventually turn into military ones.
