Hello Friends, welcome to Real Quick Info channel. Lets discuss about today's topic.
Since the very beginning of China Pakistan Economic Corridor project, we all were aware of possibility of Gwadar port being used for docking and maintenance of Chinese naval vessels.
Hence, Chinese plan to build its second offshore naval base in Pakistan should not surprise us.
This naval base will be built in Jiwani in between Gwadar port and Cha bahar port.
Existing airport in Jiwani will also be expanded to support Chinese operations.
Now lets look at Chinese logic to have this specialized naval base in Pakistan.
First reason is, China cannot buy maintenance and logistics supplies in Pakistan. Its matter of shame or pride for Pakistan we can argue about. but it will certainly harm business in Pakistan.
Second reason, The public order in Gwadar port is in a mess, its not a good place to carry out military logistical support. This sounds fine.
Third reason, Suddenly China realized that Gwadar port is a civilian port. its common practice to have separate facilities for warships and merchant vessels. This also sounds fine.
The point we are trying to make is, there is nothing new in these three reasons. It was just a matter of time for Pakistan to succumb to Chinese pressure.
Just like all Indians, all Pakistani believes that Pakistan is sovereign nation. Would it not be better if China being the real friend of Pakistan, made Pakistan strong enough to ensure safety and security of Chinese maritime vessels in Indian ocean? Even if China wants to use its naval vessels to ensure safety and security, As long as there is Chinese will, Pakistan could have easily been enabled to provide China specific logistical support capabilities.
In fact that's how logistics support agreement work world wide, you cannot end up creating naval base at each and every port in the world.
But please note, logistical support agreement happens in between two sovereign nations. Like recent logistical support agreement in between India and Singapore.
China has recently built its first naval base in Djibouti. Any country can build naval base there. They are ready to sell their land for money.
It would be certainly matter of pride for Pakistan to join the league of Djibouti.
Friends, it would be foolish to believe that China has started building naval base in Pakistan because of widely publicized strain in America and Pakistan relationship.
It has always been Chinese desire to have strong naval presence in Indian ocean.
So far as India is concerned, we need not worry about this naval base in Jiwani. We need to make sure our naval forces are strong enough to protect our supply lines during conflict and peacetime.
Pakistan can outsource naval capabilities, thankfully, we don't have such luxury.
As per your views, What India should do with respect to this Chinese naval base in Jiwani?
