China will stop Indian military action in the Maldives, the state-run Global Times has said, as there is no “righteous cause” for any armed intervention without UN backing.
The Beijing-based tabloid fired a warning shot at New Delhi, which has been entreated several times by the former Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed to help resolve a crisis in the honeymoon destination.
President Abdulla Yameen declared a state of emergency following a shock Supreme Court ruling ordering the release of his opponents including Nasheed. Yameen said he declared the state of emergency so he could investigate a plot to overthrow his government.
On February 6, the day after the state of emergency was declared, Nasheed said he wanted India to send an envoy backed by the military.
Beijing has asked the international community to respect the tropical nation’s sovereignty, but the Global Times was much more strident in its Monday editorial.
“China will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Maldives, but that does not mean that Beijing will sit idly by as New Delhi breaks the principle.
“If India one-sidedly sends troops to the Maldives, China will take action to stop New Delhi. India should not underestimate China’s opposition to unilateral military intervention.”
India has said it is disturbed by the state of emergency, but has made no formal comment about Nasheed’s requests, while Indian media appears divided over the prospect of gunboat diplomacy.
On Sunday RaajjeTV said that 70 percent of people who took part in a poll on the subject opposed Nasheed’s request to India.
Bravo China
India is like an empty stomach loin cloth Fakir called himself muscleman
No one wants a war and deaths.
In poverty, India many people are dying daily because of hunger, disease, cast clashes, and killings.
Poverty India has lost her reputation in S.E.Asia long ago because of foolish foreign policy to satisfy the imported woman.
No thanks China. We don’t want your war with India on our door step. We will manage internally and we will also explain as required between India and ourselves directly. No need to keep blowing up the issue and offering ‘protection’.
India should not interfere in the squalid politics of Maldives. The current political mess is typical of Muslim countries where nothing seems to works.
India should take military action only if China interferes. The Indian Ocean is not the South China Sea.
With your Chinese mates issuing travel advisories to its citizens, expect your tourist industry to hit rock bottom very soon. India and US are likely to issue travel restrictions too. You will soon be as welcome overseas as your Sunni brothers from Pukeistan.
It’s not looking good for you mallus. Best to leave for your jihad while you still have time.
“Pukestan” Don’t you see how much more repulsively hateful you are than 99.9999 percent of Muslims in the world?
the old woman do you think the Maldives is part of poverty India?
First, ask your beedi smoking to recapture your land taken by China during war else shut up.
He He He poverty Indians has no money for holidays at high-class resorts in the Maldives they come here to buy lux soap…there are no US tourists in the Maldives most are from Europe, Middle East, and China.
Indians are dying with an empty stomach and sickness beedi smoking Indian army invade the Maldives yes possible when you dream of your empty stomach.
Poverty Indians are unable to solve the water distribution, health and education all are in mess with bribery babies are dying in hospitals without oxygen, businessmen are running to west after looting bank .. the military is in a mess what a joke poverty India is trying to solve the Maldives crises this is not your business understand?
M********ker chinese
Dooky, I don’t think Maldives is part of India and hope it never will be. Which country in the world today would like to incorporate a primitive backwater populated by 350,000 radicalised Sunni (Allah created this world only for us) Muslims? Every terrorist in the world today is a Sunni Muslim. What a coincidence!
We have millions of Sunni Muslims in India who live peacefully with other communities. They don’t attack Shias, kill Ahmadiyyas or blow themselves up at Sufi shrines……as they regularly do in Sunni majority cesspits like Pukeistan. The hindu majority would never tolerate it. That is the power of Indian secularism.
Maldivians planning to travel to India for higher studies or medical treatment should go elsewhere. Why not do a PhD in Koranic Studies at Kabul University or get treated for Syphillis in King Salman Medical Centre in Jeddah or try the amazing Chinese medicine cures for mental disorders in the Medical University of Shanghai? Just don’t land up at Chennai, Tiruvananthapurum, Hyderabad or Bengaluru airports and give us a hard time.
We need a break from you Mallus.
Oh Pathetic old poverty Indian grandma. just Chinese Global Times barked and poverty India shut her mouth ..the whole world know the shit quality of your education .go and tell this to the Indians shit on streets .Among the best 200 universities in the world Singapore in 6th place but Indian universities are out.
Yes you have everything in Million poverty ,,rape ..corruption ..caste related murders ..killing baby girls..babies dying in government hospital without oxygen …
Can poverty India has got one tourist resort like Maldive standard ?..most of the Maldivians are educated in the west ..poverty India is the best place in the world for organ transplanting to day this is why Maldivians come there where poverty Indian men and women sell their body organ for few hundred dollars …want surrogate mothers go to Gujarat where women are in queue to offer their services ..it is possible even for a Maldivian fisherman to buy a PhD from your universities for dollars.China has got world class universities and hospitals and investment facilities also is possible for a girls to walk alone in Shanghai in midnight while even in daytime girls area not safe in the raping capital Delhi …even after 2000 years poverty India can’t reach todays China got it ?
He He He it is common to see advertisements for AIDs in poverty Indian newspapers such amount of illiterate population to fool ..finally for corruption and adulteration the punishment in China is bullet ,,in poverty India Z security or allow to slip through airports to foreign lands…in the west China always get front page news poverty India always n 3rd page few columns ..this is your glory .
Dooky I did not know that most Maldivians are educated in the West. No kidding! So what happened to you? Judging from your poor English I guess you’ve had a basic education in some back street madrasa.
It is laughable that an unsophisticated mallu like you, from one of the most backward and politically unstable countries in South Asia, to compare yourselves with Indians. Half the population of Maldives lives in Male, probably the most overcrowded capital city in the world, overrun with violent gangs and drug addicts.
Instead of building more and more luxury resorts, that no Maldivian can afford and which benefit only a handful of politically connected owners, your corrupt and chaotic government should build more universities and hospitals. Then you dumb islanders will no longer need to travel to India for higher studies or medical treatment and we Indians will not have to witness a planeload of jihadis turning up regularly at our airports. It will be a win win situation for both sides.
Which part of DON’T COME TO INDIA do you not understand?
Ok Pakistan, now we genuinely believe you have nothing productive to contribute.
Peace to Maldives from India.
