Nasheed snubs China: ‘India, Maldives ties over 2,000 years’

[Dark Lord Forever]

1 - If someone starts offering money way more than the size of a country's economy, there are always vested interests. Foreign policy experts in different countries know this.

While Pakistan might be interested in aligning their economy 100% with you similar to the way Cambodia has in ASEAN, not everyone opts for this. During cold war, many newly independent Asian countries had to do the same thing with USSR and there were a lot of issues.

No one wants to do that all over again by putting all eggs in one basket.

2 - In a region dominated by two major countries, the smaller entities play off one against the other to reap benefits. They will always be neutral no matter how hostile relations turn - that's call balancing off.

3 - Despite the kind of hostility shown here on PDF by some members of BD, SL and any other adjoining regional country, the reality has always been different. Even their so-called nationalist and "anti-India" regimes have preferred to remain neutral at worst.

4 - China tends to measure things in terms of only money. While it is an important component, it isn't everything. There are many other things that play a significant role in any country's policies vis-a-vis the region. Which is exactly why despite open hostilities, India and Pakistan continue to have relations and even trade.

Who really cares about Maldives turning towards India? The fact that much more significant countries (traditionally India's allies) such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan are turning away from India really says something from India's failed foreign policy ...

It is because of their hegemonic desires, nobody wants to be ruled and dominated by another, it is basic human nature to rebel.

He is an ex-President who was a puppet of hindus so got thrown out by the 100% Muslim population of the Maldives.
Maldives had relations with Arab traders and thus Muslim rulers of India.
Today's hindu India is a hegemonist and people of Maldives don't like it.
