#1 SecState Hillary has also called INDJUH = INDIA the "LINCHPIN" FOR THE US' ASIA-PACIFIC STRATEGY.

HMMMM, HMMMMMM, so lets see ...
> SHORT OF WAR, CHINA + PLA is basically left wid TAIWAN, HAINAN MARITIME CORRIDORS for access into WESTPAC + CENTPAC, OTHER PACOAS.
> Is US hoping that INDIA will be able to unilaterally counter the desire of IRAN, TURKEY + PAKISTAN to set up PACIFIC NAVAL PRESENCE???
> INDONESIAN NAVY? SINGAPORE NAVY?
> Anti-China, new US BFF? VIETNAM to have new Sub fleet capable of regional operations in six years? VIETNAM ALSO WANTS ITS OWN CIVILIAN NUKE ENERGY PROGRAM.

Rising China isn't gonna like being squeezed/blocked in - I also don't think the CMC + PLA planned on Muslim Navies trying to set themselves up in China's backyard???
