The office of the Chinese Navy located in the Coco Islands of Mynmar is intended to keep a strategic eye on India's military a post too close for India's comfort.
It's not just the port at Myanmar. A port in Sri Lanka that China claims is a commercial venture is also cause for concern.
New Delhi may not openly acknolwledge the threat but the armed forces have relaised that it's the Andaman Islands that holds the key to counter the chinese dragon.
