☆ India, China Fight for Influence Over Tiny Archipelago Nation
  + stars: | 2023-11-11 | by ( Rajesh Roy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
NEW DELHI—The fierce rivalry between India and China for influence in the Indian Ocean is on display in the tiny archipelago nation of Maldives, better known for its white sand beaches and crystal clear waters than as a strategic military outpost. The Maldives is already awash with Chinese loans, which have helped fund new high rises on an artificial island, roads and a landmark bridge. Now Indian loans and grants are behind a $500 million bridge project connecting three islands to the capital city of Malé.

NEW DELHI—In the far reaches of the Himalayas, drones sweep across the sky on a high-priority mission for India: scouring the vast, rugged terrain below for Chinese movement along the border of the two countries. Until a few years ago, India relied largely on human patrols to watch the disputed boundary. But that was a different, less-fraught era of relations between the neighbors. A deadly 2020 confrontation between their security forces jolted New Delhi and cast a chill over ties, driving both sides to increase border deployments of troops, weapons and surveillance equipment.
