Summary/Abstract |
Lately, China’s politico-diplomatic and economic engagements with the Indian Ocean littorals, and its naval activities in the region, have become increasingly conspicuous. This paper aims to undertake a comprehensive assessment, not only of the trends, but also of the underlying factors shaping these trends, which makes China potentially an Indian Ocean power. The underlying factors examined are China's economic, strategic and geopolitical objectives and imperatives, and its national strategy – including its maritime military strategy – in the region. The paper concludes with a prognosis, and its implications for the region and India.

Summary/Abstract |
The objectives of this article are, firstly, to identify the place occupied by the Indian Ocean and South Asia in China's maritime strategy, and secondly, to identify the appropriate means of dealing with the global and regional maritime security concerns arising from China's maritime strategy as far as the Indian Ocean and South Asia are concerned. Given the fact that the South Asian states of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, as well as China, are members of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), this forum could provide a multilateral setting for dealing with the maritime concerns in China-South Asia relations.
