Abstract:

After Australia and the United States respectively put forward the constructive idea of "Indo-Pacific", India expressed a positive attitude towards it. India already has a potential "Indo-Pacific" plan in reality, which means India needs to integrate into the geopolitical system of the "Indo-Pacific", actively participate in regional affairs, and play a positive role by deepening maritime security cooperation with countries such as the United States, Japan, and Australia, accelerating the pace of geopolitical expansion and so on to achieve more economic and strategic interests.The South China Sea is a significant area for the implementation of the "Act-East Policy" in India, which is closely related to the "Indo-Pacific" goal of India. From the geopolitical perspective, the Indo-Pacific region, as a strategic arc, includes the western Pacific region adjacent to the South China Sea, which has become a key area for active intervention by maritime forces such as the United States. It will inevitably affect the security atmosphere, maritime shipping, cargo trade, and relations with neighboring countries in the South China Sea. In terms of the current security situation in the South China Sea, the territorial disputes of some ASEAN countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as the intervention of countries outside the region such as the United States, India, Japan, and Australia, have led to a complex security situation in the South China Sea, and the prospect is not optimistic. As a geographically adjacent country to China, India's expanding geopolitics in the South China Sea and its potential strategic combination will inevitably stimulate more exotic countries to deeply intervene in the South China Sea including Britain and France. Therefore, China should actively take corresponding measures, such as strengthening strategic dialogue, improving defense capabilities, building the community with a shared future for the sea, promoting the construction of "the Belt and Road Initiative" and so on, and take preventive measures in advance to maintain the security environment in the South China Sea.

Key words: India, "Indo-Pacific strategy", the security of the South China Sea, Sino-Indian relations

摘要：

自澳大利亚和美国分别提出“印太”构想后，印度从言语和行动上对此表达了积极的态度。虽然莫迪政府至今没有明确出台“印太战略”规划文件，但印度已有潜在的“印太”计划，即要融入“印太”地缘政治体系，主动参与地区事务，通过深化同美、日、澳等国的海上安全合作、加快地缘政治扩展步伐等措施，以谋求更多的经济利益和战略利益。南海作为亚洲边缘海域，处于“印-太战略弧”范围内，是印度“东向行动政策”实施的重点地区，因而与印度的“印太”目标息息相关。从地缘角度看，“印太”作为一个战略弧带，已成为美国等海上力量主动介入的关键区域，这必然对南海的安全、航运、贸易以及周边国家关系等产生重要影响。目前，菲律宾、越南等东盟国家对领土的纷争，以及美印日澳等域外国家的介入，导致南海安全态势趋向复杂。印度对南海地缘政治参与度的不断扩展及其产生的潜在战略组合，必然刺激包括英、法在内的更多域外国家深度介入南海。因此，中国应积极采取措施，如加强战略对话、提高防务能力、构建海洋命运共同体、推进“一带一路”建设等，实现南海安全环境的长期稳定与和谐发展。
