The Islands lie within the jurisdiction of the Commander Ayeyarwaddy naval region, who also accompanied the delegation. The purpose of the visit is stated to be in connection with China’s assistance to “upgrade” the military facilities installed on the Islands. Whereas Myanmar’s location in the northern Bay of Bengal itself carries immense strategic import for India, its Coco Islands are sited so close to India’s Andaman Islands that in good-visibility conditions one can see it with the naked eye from the northern-most island of the Andaman group. A Chinese military involvement in Myanmar – and particularly in the Coco Islands – may thus have grave security implications for India.

As we begin to move toward an era in which anyone can easily publish and access information, we see that it is increasingly hard to censor information, yet there exist methods by which some ideas can be slowed or hidden.
