A base in Japan is not worth much for India and neither will the Japanese allow it. Anyway, we are only speculating about the future here. Vietnam is a more favorable option for the Indians.
yes that could be a best option for India to set his base in Vietnam. Establish a short - medium range missiles with aims to important chinese cities. Long range missiles are costlier than short to medium range missiles.

another option - Phillipines. Don't know about the relation between India and Phillipines.

People, India is not the US. We dont have that much money nor do we have assets to station on the basis mentioned. People are talking of opening military basis as if its like buying a new house or renting a house elsewhere. What about the logistics? What about diplomatic relations? And most of all, why need those basis? Our neighbor is just to our north. We dont have to travel too far to attack it if we had to.
Besides, we sit on the passage that is the lifeline of our neighbor. We dont have to go all the way to Japan or Phillipines.

this is all military strategy..to pressurize enemy..like chinese are surrounding india by setting up bases in pakistan,myanmar,bangladesh,etc then why can't we??we are not attacking china...we are just taking precaution and we are trying to create fear in enemy's mind that don't dare to mess with us..otherwise there will be bad consequences of that.mongolia could one front to presurrize china..

Well, your relationship with vietnam or phillipine is one thing, whether they will allow you to attack china from these base in any war is another thing. If you cannot use it, why set it up?

I dont think Mongolia or any weaker neighbour of China will allow India to use such bases against China in any hostile situation. Same thing is true for the Chinease bases in Bangladesh or Srilanka. We dont need to panic until or unless Chinese are bringing warships or submarines in those bases. If China's intention is to use those bases in a war like situation against India ( I think it is not) they are in fool's paradise. Countering a stupid strategy of your opponent you need not to take same stupid like measures. I am agreed with Yousuf and Lethalforce. Within next decade we will acquire enough capability to give a fitting answer to any type of agressiveness from our powerful neighbour. It is better to sit like good boy till then until and unless it is inevitable. A base in Mongolia will bring the hidden hostality on surface and escalate the situation only. But in time of need it will have no use.
