The Andaman and Nicobar Islands also hosts India’s Tri- Services Command and it is strategically important, as the Indian Navy uses it as a centre to track the presence of various Chinese vessels in the Indian Ocean region and to enlarge India’s maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.

In recent times, the Chinese have attempted to conduct espionage activities in and around the Eastern coast of India which hosts certain critical facilities such as the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam island (located off the coast of Odisha and is used to conduct various Missile tests, formerly known as the Wheelers island), the Satish Dhawan space centre (in Andhra Pradesh) amongst others.

The Chinese refuse to abide by the various International Laws related to the high seas and are carrying out various subversive activities (espionage activities), economically unviable projects (Gwadar, Hambantota) and weakly asserts itself in an attempt to emerge as a pseudo imperialist power.
