Its been a big week in India's attempt at Mahan-esque domination of the US-Chinese Ocean.
India:
- having forced Sri Lanka to block a peace-loving Chinese submarine from entering Colombo
freeport
- has leaked its blocking of Australia, one of India's deepest, oldest, Commonwealth fiends, from
participating in a naval exercise.
What gives? At least China is firmly capitalist, chock full of equal comrades and Australia's No.1 trade partner.
Definitely not cricket, or field hockey.

Why China is vastly outpacing India's economy and navy.
