The Maldives Crisis: a blueprint for confronting Communist Chinese military adventurism



It seems that Beijing's much self-publicized 11-ship Maldives Intervention Force quickly evaporated into thin air. Beijing might be greedy but Beijing is not stupid. The Indian Navy by its lonesome would quickly make mincemeat out of Beijing's seriously outgunned fleet. And Beijing still has to contend with the possible intervention of other Western navies, covert or otherwise.

This should bring a groundswell of hope to the small SEA countries that Beijing is currently trying to bully into submission - the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Beijing can be made to back down. The key is Superior Firepower.

India's investment in a substantial annual defense budget clearly paid off. Vietnam and Indonesia appears to be following the same strategy.

Only the Philippines is being left behind.

Is it because of lack of funds... or is it because of lack of Love of Country?
