| China trying to provide military aid to Bangladesh and Pakistan | | | Despite warnings from the US China is spreading its tentacles around India to scare it. In what brings out a new threat to India and shows a growing Chinese presence in the neighbourhood, a Chinese state-owned company, Powertech Technology Inc, has been contracted to construct a permanent submarine base in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazaar. Cox's Bazar, in Bay of Bengal, is on the eastern coast of Bangladesh and in south-eastern part of the country that abuts Myanmar. In 2017, Bangladesh took delivery of a pair of Chinese Ming-class Type 035B diesel electric submarines, joining a prestigious club of Asian maritime powers. On one side China is helping Pakistan another foe of India with the development of military bases and with the supply of missiles and other sophisticated weapons. It is on the basis of military aid from Pakistan that Islamabad keeps its chin up against India because it knows that Chinese supply of military weapons may continue.
Indian security agencies have informed the government of the project, which was anyway expected to come up since Bangladesh got the Chinese submarines. The submarines were procured under a contract from China at a reported cost of $193 million. The submarines have been through extensive refitting and modernisation. And those days are not gone when Bangladesh and India may assume bitterness and in that case China may help Bangladesh. The Chinese company has been appointed for the job through a government-to-government negotiation between Bangladesh and China. It is still not clear if China will base something of its own permanently, but it will have visiting rights, sources in India said. The construction of a base for submarines is expected to include facilities like barracks for troops and an ammunition depot, besides repairing facilities for submarines.
China by equipping Bangladesh and Pakistan with military weapons may show to India that apart from trade and fresh ties with the US what is needed is the mighty military aid from China to Bangladesh and Pakistan.. In fact through Pakistan and Bangladesh China could take the revenge of India's growing super power rise. And this military aid to Bangladesh and Pakistan could not keep India in a state of peace. This peace can be broken once Bangladesh and Pakistan attempt at attacking India in that case peace has the chance to get derailed. |
