虽然印度的战略思想家一直忙于发出中国日益插手印度洋的警报,并夸大北京针对印度的“珍珠链”威胁,但是新德里的国防机构已经悄悄地变换了印度自己的应对措施——把发展和巩固与中国邻国的关系作为一项长期战略。无论这一战略或反制战略的结果如何,有一点是肯定的,那就是印度洋及其周边地区注定要成为21世纪大国博弈的一个重要舞台。 Although strategic strategists in India have been busy sending out China’s growing alarm about the Indian Ocean and exaggerating Beijing’s “pearl chain” threat to India, New Delhi’s defense agency has quietly transformed India’s own response - to develop and consolidate Relationship with China’s neighboring countries as a long-term strategy. Whatever the outcome of this strategy or counter-strategy, one thing is certain: the Indian Ocean and its surroundings are destined to become an important stage in the game of 21st-century great powers.
