Keep on blabbering crap. I know who taught you Chinese to live in denial. The Pakis did, right?For your information:
India's priority is Indian Ocean while Japanese have their eyes always on not SCS but Eastern Asia. Both sides have no intention and no means to help each other militarily.
On economical area, Japanese investment in those string of pearl is a competition against Chinese, but not necessarily good thing to Indian either. Any foreign investment in India's neighbourehood is building up the competition against India, hurting India's income.
Politically, Japan is not an independent country. Her policy has been heavily twisted by Americans, which make her stance very inconsistent.
It would be better if you are made Chairman of CPC. If PRC really starts turning a blind eye on India's actions, that would be bliss. That would mean that we can go on ahead full steam, without worrying about PRC flipping out over puny stuff like Lamas visiting some regions in India.
Now about foreign investment in India's neighborhood, Economic competition from Japanese is better for India than one from Chinese. Atleast the Japanese do not mean to directly undermine our security and most other policies (and so their economic influence is not a drag on our foreign policy). I know that Japan does not paint a favorable image in the eyes of most Chinese given the Japanese atrocities of WW-II. But in India, Japan is seen as a very friendly presence. So you can stop trying to persuade us that the Japanese are bad for us Indians. Japanese investment in South Asia is bad for China, good for India.
Nobody is talking about a military alliance with Japan. We are talking of joint diplomatic posturing and joint economic influence creation to tackle the Dragon everyday. If the day ever comes when we go to war with the PRC (Dance of the Dragons), we all know that India is not relying on some third country for military assistance (certainly not the Japanese).IMHO, with all the intellectual BS I've seen on this thread ... moving from the topic of "string of pearls" to "railways". An alliance with Japan is not happening, period! Even though we signed LEMOA, simply because no country is going to travel almost 3222 Nm to keep a couple or handful of Chinese subs at bay, the logistic cost is too much for Japanese Navy or any navy, even the USN too. That's why they signed LEMOA with us on first place.
This fight we Indians need to fight on our own. Nobody's gonna help us, the sooner our leaders realises this the better. Japanese have to look out for there country as well, as they recently just dodged the economic collapse bullet and the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, although I won't say they dodged the latter though.
The reason why Japanese have an aggressive stance is not because of some islands they claim the right too, it's all just shroud, the real reason is because whoever gains control of the SCS, will impact every other nations trade. And japan being dependent on sea trade, will be the most affected from it.
CBGs are a different aspect though, which again not happening as China has no incentive to put it's CBG to patrol in Indian ocean, for that they have cheap diesel electric subs and some SSNs. For which we are well equipped too, all we need is more machinery to be floating.
Chinese definitely have an incentive in sending their CBG in Indian Ocean. It makes for a powerful headline. Its a powerful diplomatic move. So even if they cannot do crap to us (even if they get a CBG in Indian Ocean), they can still make a statement. PLAN submarines (which are a bigger challenge for our Navy than a PLAN CBG), do not make public appearances frequently (certainly not when deployed) and are therefore not meant to win the propaganda war.
