Maldives-China Ties Trigger India's New Airfield Project? | Maldives President Plays China Card

Amidst a backdrop of diplomatic tensions and a tourism crisis, the President of Maldives, Mohammad Muizzou, has urged China to send more tourists to his island nation. During a state visit to China, Muizzou called for increased Chinese tourism to bolster the Maldivian economy in the face of a mass cancellation of Indian tourists. The strained diplomatic relations between Maldives and India have reached a boiling point following Muizzou's India-out campaign, a policy that has generated significant backlash and has led to a steep decline in Indian tourism in Maldives. Chinese tourists could potentially make up for this shortfall, but this strategy appears to be a way for Muizzou to play the China card against India. Meanwhile, rising radicalization in Maldives poses another complex problem for the island nation. #Maldives #China #India #TourismCrisis #DiplomaticTensions #indiafirst #gauravsawant Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
