Seems like if they wanted to contain india right now, they could. but doing that would make india hyperventilate and that won't be good for business. Perhaps india can be persuaded to accept china hegemony in the indian ocean as all they want really is safe passage for their ships to trade with other nations in the EU and Mid east

And let me tell you, you need to update your knowledge. Gwadar is a lot of hot air. There is absolutely nothing on the ground there.

What a pathetic attitude you have. I just thank God you are not Indian. If you are an Aussie, you are welcome to sell your country to China - anyway, a little nation of 22 million won't be missed by many.
If they want "safe passage", they will have to behave. As simple as that.
