Should India be Concerned About Ports China is Building for Indian Ocean Countries?

As China flexes its economic and military muscle, it's bumping elbows with Asia's other big and fast-growing power: India.

China's hunger for energy from the Middle East and resources from Africa brings it into the Indian Ocean. And some defense analysts in India are watching uneasily as China develops commercial ports in some of India's neighbor countries.

To understand India's concerns about China, it helps to remember that the two countries have a history of border disputes, and that they fought a brief but ferocious war over territory in 1962.
