The PLA and Pakistani military officials met at Jiwani on 18 Dec '17. Jiwani is located on a peninsula about 15 mile long stretch of land, with a small airfield. The large naval and air base will require the Pakistani government to relocate the residents, living in the area, to the other areas of Jiwani or further inland, in Baluchistan province.
Pakistan is inflicting military excesses and exploitation on the Baluch population who are subjected to rape, abduction and killings on a daily basis. Sadly, three helicopter gunships, gifted by the Chinese, are used in support of the attacks on the hapless population.
The Chinese has asked the Pakistanis to undertake a major upgrade of the airport to enable the handling of large Chinese military aircraft and work is expected to commence in Jul '18. The naval base and airfield will occupy nearly the entire strategic peninsula.
It can be seen that China is consolidating in the Indian Ocean Region(IOR) at an incredibly rapid pace. Against this backdrop, India needs to take a serious note of China's shenanigans listed below:-
(a) Its tacit support of Pakistani terrorists.
(b) The recent Dokhlam stand off.
(c) Continued trans-LAC incursions by its troops.
(d) PLA's presence in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, which is Indian territory and
(e) Undertaking projects in PoK without reference to India.
It's the Chinese aggressive actions, in conjunction or without Pakistan which may lead to conflict situations in the IOR. China's OBOR(One Belt One Road) initiative and the Maritime Silk Route, aimed at replacing the 'Dollar' with the 'Yuan', is liable to create more turbulence in the years to come.
A tricky situation indeed!

Mohanachandran's medical bulletin.
"Only the immediate family is being allowed to visit Mohanachandran in the room. This is basically to avoid infection from setting in. His condition has been improving steadily". From Suresh Laxman.
