NEW DELHI – India has confronted Myanmar in recent months with intelligence showing that China is providing assistance in building a surveillance post on a remote island in the Bay of Bengal, according to Indian officials with knowledge of the matter.
Major General Zaw Min Tun, a spokesman for Myanmar’s ruling State Administration Council, called the allegation that China was building a spy facility in the Coco Islands “absurd”. In a response to questions, Mr Arindam Bagchi, a spokesman for India’s Ministry of External Affairs, said the country would take “necessary measures” to safeguard its interests.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has also taken action to restrict Chinese apps in India and woo foreign investors looking to diversify away from the world’s second-biggest economy.
