Indian Navy saves Chinese ship from pirates

[Capt.Popeye]

Seems like IN is fighting a lonely battle against piracy... where are others?

That is incorrect to some extent. The other Naval Forces are operating in the Western Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden region. While the thrust of these operations by IN and ICG is the Central and Eastern Arabian Sea. At the same time, the IN is maintaining a presence off the Somalian Coast. Seems that the ROE for Indian Naval Forces has been dramatically enhanced in its scope.

Hijacked Chinese sailors rescued: report

Well, it's unlikely that China would give credit to India as good public opinion of India is not in the government's interest. Anyway as people have already said, this isn't about countries. It's about a merchant ship and a naval vessel. It doesn't matter which country's it was. It was their duty to rescue the sailors.

Official report from China:

Hijacked ship with 24 Chinese sailors in Arabian Sea rescued - People's Daily Online May 06, 2011

The 24 Chinese sailors on board a Panama-flagged bulk cargo ship, hijacked by pirates yesterday at the Arabian Sea, have been rescued, as Turkey and U.S. navy ships in the nearby rushed to them and chased away the pirates, Xinhua News Agency reported.

About seven suspected Somali pirates have left the ship, "Full City", and the 24 Chinese workers are found safe, locking themselves in the safety vessel of the ship, the report said. Guarded by U.S. Navy ships, a group of Turkey Navy commandos boarded the pirated ship.

The pirates attacked "Full City" at midday on Thursday local time, and seized it about 450 nautical miles off the coast of Mumbai in India.

The China Sea Rescue Center earlier reported two Chinese navy ships patrolling in the Gulf of Aden were alerted of the hijacking and rushed to its rescue yesterday. The center also sent liaisons to nearby patrolling ships for help.

The first report is from French AFP, not China. They did not mention India being involved in the rescue, only Turkey and U.S. Also according to your theory, giving Americans recognition is not in Chinese government interest either, and yet there they were in the report.
