Danger bell for China
China continues to threaten the South China Sea and its surrounding countries. China has also tried to intervene in special economic sectors of these countries i.e. marine areas on several occasions. The relations between China and the Philippines have worsened since 2009. China had earlier also issued a controversial map. In this map, China claimed a large part of the South China Sea by drawing a 9 dash line. The line included many islands and some important parts of the Philippines.
This Dadagiri of China has increased the risk of occupation of sea areas in countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan and Malaysia. In such a situation, the BrahMos missile of India can become a strong security shield for these countries, which can protect them from China’s growing threat.
