India’s closest ally in Asia is the Maldives. Rather than being called an ally, the two countries came to appreciate friendship with brotherly affection. India was the first country to come to Maldives for any problem. Similarly, Maldives has been India’s supporter in international affairs. However, the India-Maldives relationship has started to sour since last year when Mohammed Muisu, an ardent supporter of China, took over as the President of Maldives.
China gives loans and enslaves!
China, which wants to establish its dominance in Asia and the Indian Ocean, is using this as an opportunity. China is controlling small countries like Maldives and Sri Lanka and making them work against India. The only weapon China has to subjugate such small countries is credit. China’s plan is to take advantage of the poverty of small countries and make them go bankrupt by giving them too much credit. It will take a very long time for those countries to repay that debt anyway. During this interim period, China will take over the ports, seas and land in those countries.
Maldives who hated India!
This is how China has supported itself by giving huge loans to Maldives and Sri Lanka. With no other option, Maldives and Sri Lanka continue to harass India to ice China. As part of this, Maldivian ministers have criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media. The Maldives government has given permission to dock a Chinese spy ship near India. Maldives President Mohammed Muisu has expelled Indian soldiers from Maldives.
Maldives apologized with meltdown!!
Despite this continuous teasing of India, India is the first to lend a helping hand when Maldives is in trouble. Even last March, India sent tons of food by ship to the food-starved Maldives. Similarly, last week, India helped the economically distressed Maldives by giving 500 million dollars. Maldives, which did not expect India’s help, was truly moved by the love of Indians. Also, Maldivian Foreign Minister Musa Zameer apologized and admitted that it was a big mistake to come directly to India and criticize Modi. Similarly, he thanked India for its assistance.

China does not like intimacy!
China does not really like Maldives showing closeness to India again. This was a big blow to China, which was planning to move its pawn against India over the Maldives. As a result, China has prepared a master plan to reclaim the Maldives. That is, China has lent 1000 million dollars to Maldives in the past. Meanwhile, for the past few months, China has been pressuring the Maldives to return this amount.
