So, here’s the deal—there’s been a lot of chatter lately about China getting super cozy with Bangladesh, and yeah, it’s definitely making folks in Delhi a little uneasy. The big question floating around is: is China using Bangladesh to poke at India? Well, it’s not that black and white.
China has been throwing big bucks into Bangladesh—building bridges, ports, energy projects… the works. The Padma Bridge? Yep, Chinese help. Payra Port? Them too. It’s not just about friendship—it’s about influence, and slowly but surely, Beijing’s planting roots in the region.
But hey, India’s not just watching from the sidelines. We’ve got deep, long-standing ties with Bangladesh—cultural bonds, history, shared language pockets, and way more. India’s focusing on strengthening that foundation through trade, infrastructure, and people-to-people vibes.
So yeah, China’s flexing. But India’s betting on trust and familiarity. The game’s on, and how it plays out over the next few years? That’s going to be worth watching.
