How India uses remote island to show strength against China
India is investing approximately $9 billion to develop Great Nicobar Island, its southernmost territory near the strategically vital Strait of Malacca, into a multi-use hub with a transshipment port, airport, and supporting infrastructure. The project has dual economic and strategic goals, including boosting regional trade and countering China's growing military and economic influence in the Indian Ocean, while facing criticism over widespread deforestation and risks to the Indigenous Shompen community.
