The China Passport Debacle: Troika Emerges in Indian Ocean Zone
China has done it again with imprinting a map on its new passports including regions that were not part of its territory. China long claimed these regions as part of People's Republic of China, but resorted to crystalizing that claim only recently in this map. The result is not only strong but compounded. Its neighbors India, Indonesia and Australia finally came together to form a trilateral alliance (Troika) to curb any further advances or territorial claims by China. Is this a sign that China is asserting its superior position in the region, while sending a subtle warning it neighbors?
