🇨🇳🇮🇳 China vs India – how do two countries try to outplay each other in the Indo-Pacific?
Part 1 - Necklace of Diamonds

The bilateral relations between China and India have witnessed a significant deterioration in recent times, marking a troubling phase in their long-standing history. Several factors, including territorial disputes and economic confrontation, have contributed to this worsening dynamic, leading to heightened tensions and strained diplomatic ties between the two Asian giants.

So, in order to outplay one another politically and economically China and India have two different strategies, aimed at encircling the region. In this post we touch upon Indian program called “Necklace of Diamonds”.

🔻 What is it?

The “Necklace of Diamonds” strategy is a phrase first used by India’s former foreign secretary Lalit Mansingh in August 2011. He used the term to refer to India’s efforts to protect its interests, in response to China’s String of Pearls Strategy, which will be discussed in the next post.

It involves putting in place a competitive network of alliances – with military, security and economic angles.

🔻 What are the key destinations?

The key countries, that India engages with, are shown on the map. Those include Iran, Mongolia, Indonesia etc. With every depicted state India has joint projects, agreements or just diplomatically engages with them in one form or another. However, bigger portion of attention is focused on infrastructure – similarly to China.

🔻 The main projects are:

🇸🇬 Changi Naval Base in Singapore. With agreement with Singapore in 2018 India secured the Indian Navy presence at the base. This allows the naval vessels to avail logistical support such as refueling and replenishing supplies.

🇮🇩 Sabang Port in Indonesia. In 2018 India got the military access to the port which is located right at the entrance of Malacca Strait. However, progress on building the port has been slow and talks have been on for some years now, so right now there are no results.

🇴🇲 Duqm Port in Oman. This port is located between Pakistan and Djibouti, where two important strategic Chinese facilities are situated. It connects Asia to Africa and Europe. Despite the fact that India gained access to the port, Oman currently is one of the main Chinese investment destinations, so it is very hard for New Delhi to compete with Beijing.

🇮🇷 Chabahar Port in Iran. India has served as the primary investor in Chabahar port, as New Delhi sees the port as a way to access Afghan and Central Asian markets without relying on Pakistan’s land routes. At the same time, China has been growing increasingly influential in Iran, seeking to gain access to critical natural resources and shipping routes.

🔻 What's in the future?

Despite some success, overall Indian strategy was not implemented in an effective manner. And there are several reasons for this.

1️⃣ China is increasing its economic influence all over the world, including countries, which are a part of Necklace of Diamonds. It is very hard to compete with Chinese money.

2️⃣ Lack of vision. The “Necklace of Diamonds” Strategy is not an officially promulgated strategy, but rather a phrase used to interpret certain government policies by commentators. This, in my opinion, does have a negative impact on the results of this project.

3️⃣ Lack of investment. China’s investments in its String of Pearls exceed the investments made by India for its Necklace of Diamonds. Hence China’s allies are likely to be stronger than India’s.

In case India does solve the issues above, the strategy may have some more positive results. However, with China engaging countries in its long-term development strategies, like BRI, New Delhi will still face critical difficulties.
