AB - Since the 2000s, China has expanded its military footprints in the Indian Ocean and increased its economic influence in the Indian Ocean littoral states. However, from the perspective of India, which has been regarded as a traditional regional leader, China’s growing influence has weakened India’s position and imposed a threat to India’s national security. Under these circumstances, how has India responded? This study reviews how China has attempted to attract small South Asian countries into its economic and strategic orbit as well as strengthened its naval activities there, and how India has dealt with a rising China. The study argues that, facing this unfavorable strategic circumstance, India has actively practiced an anti-China balancing strategy, and specifically, tried to diversify its strategic relations by enhancing defense and security cooperation with its neighboring countries.
