China: New Cause of Tensions

In recent times, China has shown his dominance over other nations and many steps taken by China have taken. India is also among the nations who are having stressful relations with China as per current scenario.

China dam on Brahmaputra river has made India a bit tense. Recently, China has announced that it has opened all 6 units of Zam hydropower station constructed over Brahmaputra dam. It is the highest-altitude hydel station in the world. The dam is built over Yarlung Zangbo in China, which is a tributary of the Brahmaputra. The tributary flows form Arunachal Pradesh and Assam which are expected to disrupt the water supplies. The station costs $1.5 bn or about Rs. 9800 Cr. Its first unit was started in November of last year. The main point of concern is not about the dam’s construction, but is about its negative use during the time of conflict with India. As per sources, China will construct few more dams on the river.

China’s name has been emerging in news from the last few years over the disputed South China Sea. China’s construction of two lighthouses on the disputed South China Sea is recently resisted by Vietnam. Vietnam says that lighthouse violates the sovereignty of the nation and is also a cause of tension. The lighthouses were constructed over Cuateron and Johnson south reefs. Whereas China says that the lighthouses will improve the navigation of the area. China is falling under conflicts with small nations in South China Sea and Japan for East China Sea over ownership of the islands.

China’s growing relations with Pakistan is a major cause of concern for India as both the nations are going ahead in military partnership. China and Pakistan have sealed a deal in which Pakistan will buy 8 submarines from China for $ 5 bn. All submarines are Yuan class submarines. It is not the first deal between China and Pakistan. China is the biggest military hardware supplier of Pakistan. The two nations earlier produced J-17 thunder warplane. As per the contract, 4 of the submarines will be built in China while other 4 will be built in Pakistan.China-New-Cause-of-Tensions

In another shot over the same issue, recently China hits back to U.S. for the statement over South China Sea. China in turn announced that it will use its force if U.S. tried to enter into 12 miles of the China’s claimed island. The statement was made after the U.S. defense secretary Ash Carter said that U.S. will fly, sail and operate, wherever international laws allows it, adding that the south China sea is not an exception. The dispute is over the islands in South China Sea, which China claims as its territory and water within 12 miles on them is also China’s territorial water.  Thereafter, U.S. rejected the claim and announced that it will sail a military patrol closer to the 12 miles from any one of the islands

Apart from these situations, Hand-in-Hand, Indo-China military anti-terror exercise is going on, escalating military engagement of both the nations. Recently PLA general has decided to visit India for which is said to be highest level visit of China to India in a decade. These signs made India a bit closer to China and further more peaceful engagements are expected.
