''The United States is taking active moves aimed at developing military cooperation with the countries of the Asia - Pacific region - stationing troops in Australia, building a base in the Philippines. And starting from the next year the US Navy ships will be permanently based in Singapore, i.e. in the narrowest place of the Strait of Malacca, which can be easily blocked off in case of an aggravation of the conflict and thus China will be almost completely cut off from the deliveries of hydrocarbons from the countries of the Middle East and Africa.
India's position is very important in this context. The thing is that the above-mentioned global trend in Asia is manifesting itself in a confrontation between the two leading powers of this part of the world - China and India. At the same time both parties, loaded with a lot of unsettled contentious issues, are trying to avoid direct confrontation, demonstrating commitment to cooperation and friendly relations. However, the confrontation still exists - it has shifted to some "remote grounds", and manifests itself with all the force there.''
