Congress of the ppr female threaded with single union ball cock Communist Party

Yameen was the first Asian leader to be invited to China in the post-19th National Congress of the ppr female threaded with single union ball cock Communist Party of China (CPC) where the leadership in Beijing expounded how Maldives figures as a key country in China’s "new era" foreign policy strategy. China’s stance on the current Maldivian crisis points to this admonitory, particularly to neighbouring India. China is relying on marine trading to supplement its economy and countries like Maldives and Sri Lanka are placed highly in this coection. It however becomes unusual, rather intimidating, when such positions are taken on domestic political affairs, keeping in view the strategic advantages that a particular country generally offers. From the Syrian crisis to many conflicting matters in Africa, Beijing has taken positions trusting that they will inteationally augment its positioning and prestige in the world as a great power. Bagging Maldives’ open support, especially as an "important partner" for Beijing’s Maritime Silk Road (MSR), was another major achievement for China.

China also aims to protect its sea lines of communication through Maldives and for future military build-ups. It is, nonetheless, seeing the growing India-US bilateral ties and Japan’s rising investment presence as a threat to its regional interests. What however is really disturbing is how attentively Beijing is shielding Yameen’s regime in Maldives and also asserting its positioning in the Indian Ocean, unveiling a grand global strategy. It was even pronounced during Xi Jinping’s speech in the 19th National Congress of the CPC.Beijing’s stance on Maldives has a greater strategic objective to position itself as an effective Indian Ocean power. With Maldives, a closer cultural linkage has been unfolding where tourism, education, infrastructure and economic cooperation are important sectors.

Visiting Chinese tourists to Maldives in great numbers are the greatest strength of these budding economic and cultural linkages. To rank Maldives as a priority partner therefore becomes a natural choice for China. It has mastered the art of passing indirect cautioning to its adversaries.It is not entirely unusual that Beijing has taken a position on other countries’ domestic political crises. While, the US’s primary interest in South Asia was always security-centric, be it the India-Pakistan balancing game or maritime developments in the Indian Ocean, it also seeks to obstruct the Chinese progress there. China’s clout in Maldives became an established fact after the free trade agreement (FTA) was signed in December 2017. Both the economic powerhouses are trying to mark a stamp on the archipelagic nation’s political future in the Indian Ocean. China has even used the UNSC P-5 (permanent five) membership card to veto on many pressing global affairs. Its post-Cold War foreign policy points to China’s bold standing on many foreign crises that are not even remotely linked to its national interests.
