With reports of China's growing presence in the Indian ocean area, India has for the first time taken an assertive position to combat the growing threat of China around the Indian region.
The Vice Admiral of the Indian Navy Anoop Singh has told TIMES NOW that India has raised the issue of China with Myanmar. Earlier reports had surfaced that China was attempting to establish bases in Myanmar's Coco Islands. The Vice Admiral has said that India has raised the issue with the Myanmar government which has replied saying that there are no Chinese bases anywhere near Myanmar and certainly not at the Coco Islands.
The Coco Islands are a 20 sq km bit of land close to the Andaman coast. It is about 200 kms away from Maynmar.
