Wary of China, India Turns Down Australia's Wargames Request

New Delhi: India has rejected an Australian request to take part in joint naval exercises with the United States and Japan for fear of antagonising China, which has warned against expanding the drills, Navy officials and diplomats said.

Australia formally wrote to the Defence Ministry in January asking if it could send naval ships to join the July wargames as an observer, in what military experts saw as a step toward eventual full participation.


Four officials from India, Australia and Japan told Reuters that India blocked the proposal and suggested that Canberra send officers to watch the exercises in the Bay of Bengal from the decks of the three participating countries' warships, instead.

New Delhi is worried that China will step up activities in the Indian Ocean where it is building infrastructure in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan, feeding India's anxiety about being encircled, Indian military sources and diplomats said.

Indian Navy officials say there have been at least six submarine deployments by China in the Indian Ocean since 2013 and that Chinese submarines have been docking in Sri Lanka and its long-time ally Pakistan.

"India is being careful about China," said Abhijit Singh, a former Indian Navy officer who heads maritime studies at the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi.

"India is aware they have upped their maritime engagement in this part of the world and they could just become more brazen with their submarine deployments. We don't want that to happen," Singh said.

New Delhi's ties with Beijing have soured in recent years over a territorial dispute in the Himalayas and China's military support of Pakistan.

China has also been concerned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has stepped up public engagement of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader who lives in exile in India and whom it regards as a "splittist".

A Defence Ministry spokesman confirmed there had been a request from Australia for observer status in the July exercises, but he said he was not in a position to provide any details of the Indian response.

Both the United States and Japan supported the idea of involving Australia, seeing it as a natural partner in the effort to balance China's growing might, the four officials said.

MALABAR EXERCISES

The Malabar exercises started out as India-US drills in 1992 but have included Japan every year from 2014.

Dozens of warships, submarines and aircraft take part in the wargames, which are aimed at getting the three powerful navies used to working together. US military officials say this will help in future operations, including joint patrols across the Indian Ocean and the Pacific.

The exercises are now held in waters close to the East and South China Sea as well as the Indian Ocean.

China, which claims most of the South China Sea, has protested the expansion. Neighbours Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims on the strategic waterway, through which about $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year.


A spokesman for Australia's Minister of Defence Marise Payne refused to comment on the Malabar exercises. But one Australian official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said it was increasingly unlikely Canberra would join the drills although it was keen to do so.

Australia has also traditionally been wary of upsetting China, its largest trading partner.

It takes no sides in the disputes in the South China Sea and has declined to join naval exercises there, although it does support US-led freedom of navigation activities in the region.

Rory Medcalf, head of the National Security College at Australia National University, expressed frustration that China was effectively wielding veto power over other countries' security cooperation.

India, Japan, the United States and Australia already have bilateral security, dialogue and exercise arrangements with each other, including in some three-country configurations, he said.

"It should be normal and natural for countries with common interests, high levels of trusts and overlapping capabilities to work together on security issues, without another country imposing a veto on who trains with whom," he said.

Finally a good sensible move from india to keep west out of the region will make things less messier ...

Temple educated indians false flagging with Aussie flags

It's called balancing, champ. If you knew anything about Indian foreign policy you wouldn't say what you did. Indian foreign policy is all about keeping normal relations with almost everyone and staying mostly neutral.

whilst spreading systematic terrorism in all its neighbouring countries. Thats India for you.

And i thought Indians here love to give big middle finger to China. China didn't give warning and India knows it would be a big mistake accepting that invitation

BUT India has given you the proverbial middle finger on multiple occasions recently(in AP, on OBOR, CPEC, On getting SL to refuse your submarine berthing right, on delaying traffic change on Chinese goods....). That my friend is a lot of middle fingers, lol.

They have smartly given you rope on one which is of insignificant consequence to them aka AUS joining a training exercise. In return, you are expected to not push limits in the Indian Ocean. Them Indians= Outsmarted you!

That's your opinion. It may or may not be true. So far you've failed to prove to the world that it is.
