阿三中将认为印度经济世界第二，反映印度国内消息闭塞， ...

据环球网记者报道，据美国国家公共广播电台6月20日报道，中国近年来在向外界展示经济和军事肌肉，这让亚洲另一个迅速发展的大国印度感到不安，两国因此“较上劲”。

    报道称，中国为在中东和非洲寻求能源和资源而进入印度洋。中国在印度邻国建造商业港口的行为让印度的一些防务分析师感到“不安”。

    长期关注印度军事发展的人花费很多时间思量中国的军事新动作和战略目标。印度已退役的海军中将库马尔 辛格日前称：“不管我们已经成为全球第二大，或可能成为第一大经济体，抑或是当今世界上发展最快的经济体，中国军方要让我们处于不平衡的状态，以便把我们困在南亚。”

    辛格对中国在缅甸、孟加拉国、斯里兰卡和巴基斯坦修建商业港口的努力，即所谓的“珍珠链”战略有特别的兴趣。他说：“中国军方想要做的是找到克服其地缘战略上不足的新方式。其中的一种方式就是建立‘珍珠链’，即在一些国家建造港口和机场。”他担心中国目前为商业目的建造的这些设施有朝一日可能会变成军事基地。

    而在《印度教徒报》军事战略问题专家瓦拉达拉扬（音）看来，“珍珠链”战略可能不存在，而且将印度对华政策置于一个可能不存在的军事战略上没有多少意义。印度和平与冲突研究协会的高级研究员Jabin Jacob也对“珍珠链”理论表示怀疑。




这篇报道显然又是美帝挑拨中印关系，美国国家公共广播电台的报道。但是报道中的采访显然是真的。

我就有点不解了，难道中将库马尔 辛格是中国人，中国不是才成为第二大经济体么，难道在印度国内，宣传的是印度超过日本，娥的神呀。

This month, NPR is examining the many ways China is expanding its reach in the world — through investments, infrastructure, military power and more.

As China flexes its economic and military muscle, it's bumping elbows with Asia's other big and fast-growing power: India.

China's hunger for energy from the Middle East and resources from Africa brings it into the Indian Ocean. And some defense analysts in India are watching uneasily as China develops commercial ports in some of India's neighbor countries.

To understand India's concerns about China, it helps to remember that the two countries have a history of border disputes, and that they fought a brief but ferocious war over territory in 1962.

Indian Concerns Over 'String Of Pearls'

Long-time members of India's military establishment spend a lot of time thinking about China's new military, and its strategic aims.

Arun Kumar Singh, a retired Indian vice admiral, habitually refers to China's military as "he."

"He wants to keep us in a state of imbalance, because he wants us to be boxed up in South Asia, though we are the second-largest and possibly the largest, or the fastest-growing economy in the world today," Singh says.As a navy man, Singh is particularly concerned with China's efforts to build commercial ports in countries such as Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan — the so-called "string of pearls" strategy.

"What he is trying to do is trying to find innovative means of overcoming his geostrategic disadvantages. So one of them is 'string of pearls,' where he is building harbors and ports and airports," Singh says.

The thinking goes that China is establishing these facilities for commercial purposes now, but that they might be turned into military bases at some point in the future.

Skepticism Of The Theory


"The 'string of pearls' itself is a term — sounds very Chinese, doesn't it? — but it's a term that the Rand Corporation came up with originally, to describe what was meant to be a strategy of surrounding India with a whole bunch of bases," says Siddharth Varadarajan, who studies military policy as the New Delhi bureau chief for The Hindu newspaper.

He says it doesn't make much sense to base India's policy toward China on speculation about a military strategy that may or may not exist.

Jabin Jacob, a senior research fellow at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies in New Delhi, is also skeptical about the string of pearls theory.

He says India's policy planners should be more concerned with the way China is using its military in what are called "military operations other than war," such as anti-piracy patrols off the coast of Somalia.

"How will you deal with a China that is actively crisscrossing the Indian Ocean, and building up relations with other Indian Ocean littoral states where India has traditionally held sway?" he asks.

India needs to involve itself actively with its smaller neighbors and their problems, if it wants to maintain its influence, he says.

Jacob says policymakers also need to remember that China has its reasons for being wary of India's activities in China's neighborhood.

"We have excellent relations with Mongolia and Vietnam, and the Chinese are not unaware of it," Jacob says. "So we want to focus on the string of pearls surrounding India, but you know we have another string, shall we say, garlanding the Chinese, which they are equally paranoid about."

Protecting Vital Sea Routes


Varadarajan, the New Delhi bureau chief, says that a lot of China's current thinking on military policy is really defensive in nature, a way to protect legitimate and vital shipping lanes.

"If India, as a major Indian Ocean power, could reassure the Chinese that India stands for freedom of the seas, and has a vital stake in working with other countries to protect sea lines, that could be one concrete way to build confidence and trust and also greater openness with the Chinese," Varadarajan says.

Jacob has another reminder for foreign policy wonks who may be trying to figure out the strategies of both China and India: Both huge countries are going to be focused on their own internal problems long into the future, he says, and that will drive their foreign policy agendas.
