hallo world,
Chinese and Indian troops have been locked in an eyeball-to-eyeball stand-off for over 40 days in a desolate region of the Himalayas that is also claimed by India's ally Bhutan. Both sides blame each other for escalating the dispute by deploying troops in the area
Sun Shihai, an adviser to the Chinese Association for South Asian Studies, said the worst military stand-off in more than three decades would fuel anti-Chinese sentiment in India, as mistrust and hostility between the two countries run deep.
If not properly handled, the border row could have a long-term impact on china's efforts to expand its diplomatic and economic influence beyond the Asia-Pacific region with its ''one belt one road initiative'', he said.
''India is most important strategic partners for China's 'Belt and road initiative' because of its geographic location,'' Sun said.
China is heavily reliant on imported fuel and according to figures published by state media, more than 80% of its oil imports travel via the Indian Ocean or Strait of Malacca.
Macau-based military expert Antony Wong Dong warned that Beijing's hardball politics are pushing New Delhi further away and could end up making it an enemy.
China is playing psychological warfare but it should realise that even if it defeated India in a war on land, it would be the impossible for PLA navy to break India's maritime containment he said, pointing to the importance of the Indian Ocean as a commercial lifeline.
Wong said. ''India is strategically located at the heart of China's energy lifetime and the 'Belt and Road Initiative' and offending India will only push it into the rival camp, which (Beijing believes) is scheming to contain China by blocking the Malacca Strait and the Indian Ocean.''
