The channel you are talking about is almost stalled now...Chinese are already building support in Thailand to begin construction of a canal through Thailand’s south. If it becomes a base for the PLAN, it would complete the string of pearls around India.
while India could counter this by building up on nearby islands it controls, as the article states, it would spread the Indian navy thinner and more vulnerable to being overwhelmed by Chinese reinforcements through the canal.
India’s budget and industrial capacity can not keep up with China’s.

Srilanka officially calling Hambantota port fiasco a mistake effectively dented chinese string of pearls concept..
