Issue has recently heated up so I'm saving some links here to look at over the weekend. (Unless somebody else wants to go at them first.)

Should be String of Pearls (India)

Some of the sources say that the Indians named a possibly unconnected series of Chinese actions the String of Pearls so the term is at much Indian as Chinese. (Whom seem to have never used the term.) Hcobb (talk) 17:12, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was actually an American analyst who came up with the term, but what you're saying is valid: the term is really only used by western analysts and Indian media. It has never been an official strategy of the Chinese government. Yi Ding (talk) 01:54, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where China's navy operates

Add this in? Hcobb (talk) 03:05, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indian base diplomacy

This constitutes part of India's efforts to provide military aid to Indian Ocean Region (IOR) countries to counter China's inroads into the region. Seems to be a pearl stringing race going on. Hcobb (talk) 21:32, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It also says, “India, incidentally, has also stepped up the visits of its warships to the region to help in anti-piracy operations.” Mrt3366 (Talk page?) (New section?) 20:15, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article title violates NPOV

SOP is an Indian concept. In order to be balanced we must use the PRC term Maritime Silk Road. So please move the article. Hcobb (talk) 05:02, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I personally support keeping the Maritime Silk Road separate from the String of Pearls. The String of Pearls is a theory promoted by American and Indian think tanks and media, while the Maritime Silk Road is an actual project by the Chinese government. I have added a merge template so hopefully we'll get some other opinions as well. Yi Ding (talk) 22:48, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to String of Pearls (Indian Ocean)

Since there have been multiple people who have supported a move away from the String of Pearls (China) title, I've moved the article to the more NPOV String of Pearls (Indian Ocean) to reflect the fact that it's not a Chinese strategy but rather a strategy speculated by both the US thinktank community and the Indian media.

When did Walvis Bay move to the Indian Ocean? http://www.namibian.com.na/indexx.php?id=20409&page_type=story_detail&category_id=1 Hcobb (talk) 14:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting link. Strictly speaking I don't think the Namibian base is part of the "String of Pearls" as espoused by Indian and American sources. Also, the report may be unfounded: http://en.people.cn/n/2014/1127/c90883-8815148.html In general, I think the Indian media that talks about the string of pearls is primarily worried about Chinese presence in the Indian Ocean... That said, I wouldn't be opposed to changing the name again or merging the page with some kind of "Chinese overseas military bases and relationships" or something like that.
