Shouldn't a Chinese aircraft carrier protect the freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean, while an Indian-bought aircraft carrier creates tensions in the Indian Ocean?
I understand. What about the issue of freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean? Some argue that Chinese aircraft carriers are there to protect it.
Yes, many experts believe that China's growing naval presence in the Indian Ocean is partially motivated by a desire to protect its economic and strategic interests in the region. However, this has caused concern among some other countries in the region who fear that China's intentions may not be entirely benevolent.
