Okay, the importance of the Malacca Straits cannot be overemphasized, 600 ships pass through it everyday, twice the number of ships that pass through the Suez Canal and three times and Panama Canal. 20% of the world's oil supply passes through there.
China has established rapport with just about every country in South-east Asia and has military pacts with many of them. In fact, a Chinese facility in Myanmar was built to track India's cruise/ballistic missile development in Orissa. India has finally woken up to threat (goddamn politicians to busy fighting to do a damn thing) and has developed the 'Look East' policy though it's too little, too late in my opinion.
In fact, this can be used to highlight the broader issue of how the Chinese are outflanking us from every direction in preparation for future conflict. They know we are the only nation that poses significant threat to them in Asia in the event of a conflict.
Does anybody know if India has taken any concrete steps to counter China? Acquire bases in South-east Asia; that is if there are any countries left that aren't hostile to us and have military pacts with China? What do you guys think of establishing bases in Mongolia or former Soviet bloc nations that border China, assuming however that they don't have good relations with China?
And another thing, why are the bloody Chinese hostile to begin with? We helped them get permanent seats in the UN, Hindi-chini bhai bhai, my God, I knew Nehru was a moron but how could a man his age be so naive? I'd like nothing more than to live in peace with them, damn it, I have so many friends of Chinese origin here in Toronto, Canada, but in Asia the situation is different. It's the bloody the communists, nutcases suppressing the country and throwing political dissenters into labour camps, blocking information, carrying out cultural and human genocide in Tibet etc.
Maybe India should fund anti-communist groups in China, help overthrow the communists and then setup a democratic government that will allow both India and China to live in peace.
