Indo-Pacific strategy in Quadrilateral alliance.
My Analysis on Territorial Dispute south China sea and Indo-Pacific strategy in Quadrilateral alliance.
Why china is opposed to India, USA, japan for having military linkages with Taiwan??? According to me, China’s vitriolic statement to india, US, japan is totally out of context and baseless by making tendentious references to the Indian dominance in disputed south China sea and military relations with Taiwan and tibet constitutes a clear interference in the internal affairs of India. My random question is Why China has involved CPEC massive infrastructure projects in Pakistani occupied Kashmir (POK) as claimed by India??? Hence, In this regard, Taiwan and Tibet are a very sensitive topic for China, can be used as a strategic leverage to counter CPEC.
China is opposing efforts of India, US, Japan bid for having military relations with Taiwan. US, India and Japan are among the the countries have come forward to provide marine technology to Taiwan. China regards Taiwan as a breakaway territory. India strongly opposed to any unilateral action by Beijing to control Taiwan and Tibet. Why China is strongly opposed to any country that have commitment to freedom of navigation in international waters such as disputed south China sea?? We have expressed concerns over China that continues to building of military installations on artificial islands and reefs in the South China Sea, where China insists it has sovereignty despite competing claims from some smaller neighbors. We therefore will continues to pass through international waters in the South China Sea that Beijing considers its territory that will likely to irk of what China says as violation of Chinese sovereignty. We urge China to abide the relevant conventions of UNCLOS and rights under international law to freedom of navigation and overflight, including in the South China Sea whereas China has undermined and insisted their claims on territorial disputes south China sea is in violation of UNCLOS (United Nations Convention of the Laws of Sea), china insistence on disputed south china sea is a clear outright rejection of 2016 UNCLOS judgement and blatant disregard of rules and international laws on oceans. Indian Navy forces are operating in the region navigate through international waters regularly and always abide by international law. The United Nations considers the South China Sea to be international waters and has refused to recognise Beijing has any legitimate claim to the region.
Given the recent circumstances of military relations with Taiwan, India, US, Japan would continue to strengthen multilateral security cooperation with Taiwan. We have adopted a prominent strategy to keep Taiwan engaged in military and security cooperation, a move that is likely to raise eyebrows in Beijing. China has no authority to interfere in internal affairs of India. There is no risk of harming military relations with China. Our government is giving more attention to developing quadrilateral and triangular coalitions with the United States, Australia, and Japan as part of its international security strategy. India would send a military attachments to Taiwan to improve defense ties.
China has No historical claims on south China sea..USA, Taiwan, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, the Philippines & Brunnei also claims parts of south China sea. India has strong claims on South China Sea. India has Sovereignty and defence capabilities and commitment to freedom of navigation in international waters..USA has accused China of its construction of man-made islands n its military presence that restricts free movements..China claims almost all the disputed waters & its growing military presence has fuelled concerns in Japan and the west with US holding regular Air & Naval exercise to ensure freedom of navigation... International tribunal which have recommended that China has no historical claims on South China sea, they claimed of India's sovereignty on Territorial international waters. India has Sovereignty and defence capabilities and commitment to freedom of navigation in international waters...Its a great military to military cooperation and a high level of strengths that India and Indonesia, Japan, USA have taken the concerning approach towards strengthening of Maritime security reasons, they both have advocated a strategic vision to make a more respected maritime power...China has no authority to claim the disputed south China sea, Japan, USA, India, Vitenem projected its military cooperation for freedom of Navigation in international waters…
India's success in holding out in Doklam against Chinese threats is likely to be seen as proof that China's attempts to bully smaller neighbours into submission can be countered by determined diplomacy and alliances backed by military resolve. The Doklam saga will encourage countries like Vietnam, Mongolia, Singapore and Japan that have been pushing back at China, and cause others like Philippines, who looked as it they might cave in, to reconsider.
The Quad and ASEAN summit has yielded extensive results regarding India's Act East Policy and the Quadrilateral alliance and ASEAN countries have committed to deepening Cooperation which rest on a foundation of shared Democratic values and principles to further strengthen the international order based on the rule of law in indo-pacific regions.
India has consistently supported ASEAN unity and centrality and ASEAN led mechanisms for regional security and economic architecture to promote peace and prosperity in indo-pacific region. Indo-pacific is a strategically geopolitical imperatives for ASEAN Nations in line with international laws. India-ASEAN countries agreed to step up multilateral engagements with greater strategic convergence coming into the shape of indo-pacific regions. India-ASEAN countries increasingly military relevance is an ASEAN centrality as a cornerstone of a free, open and inclusive indo-pacific. giving substance to indo-pacific policies that international defence and security cooperation is a shared values and commitment in upholding the rule based orders and respect for international laws in the strategically indo-pacific regions.
In Quadilateral alliance in which four countries India, Japan, Australia, USA have agreed their multilateral security and building up international military ties in a disputed south China sea. They have reached an important consensus this comprises to enhance cooperation of counter terrorism & building up international military reinforcements in South China sea that would add new dimensional approach to our Quadrilateral coordination. We would strengthen multilateral security and defence cooperation with S Korea, Australia, India and other SE Asian countries. India, US, Japan reaffirm importance of working together to safeguard the peace and stability of the East China Sea. Expressing serious concern about the situation in the South China Sea, they reaffirmed their opposition to unilateral coercive actions by claimants, including the reclamation and militarisation of disputed features, that alter the status quo and increase tensions. Reiterating the importance of the peaceful settlement of maritime disputes through full respect for legal and diplomatic processes, including arbitration, they emphasised the importance of compliance with the international law of the sea, as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, including respect for freedom of navigation and overflight and other lawful uses of the sea. The Quad framework derives its geopolitical validation from India’s association and presents a unique opportunity for India to be an active participant in shaping regional security architecture with global undertones. It can also play an important role in shaping the future trajectory of Sino-Indian relations. US President Donald Trump, Japan-Australia and South East Asian Leaders would work jointly for the future of Asia, reflecting their growing convergence on strategic issues in the Indo-Pacific region.
