Bangladesh Crisis Highlights Global Power Struggle in the Bay of Bengal
Share on FacebookShare on X

The ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh, characterized by violence and instability, reflects a larger geopolitical struggle involving major global players like China and the US. This crisis, exacerbated by internal unrest and international interference, underscores the Bay of Bengal’s rising significance in global power dynamics.

Bangladesh’s political turmoil, including recent violent protests and unrest, has drawn significant attention. The hopes pinned on Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus to restore stability seem to have yielded little change, as violence and attacks on minorities continue. The crisis has also revealed the broader geopolitical tensions at play, with the US and China actively involved.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has criticized US intervention and its interest in St Martin Island, but has notably avoided confronting China’s role. This omission is critical, as the US-China rivalry now prominently affects the Bay of Bengal. China’s strategic investments in Bangladesh, such as in the Chittagong and Mongla ports, are part of its broader Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This initiative seeks to extend Chinese influence through significant infrastructural investments, often leading to debt dependencies that compromise sovereignty.

China’s presence is evident in strategic assets like the Hambantota port in Sri Lanka and the Kyaukphyu port in Myanmar, which provide China with critical maritime and surveillance capabilities. The development of ports and industrial zones in Bangladesh further illustrates China’s strategy to encircle India and challenge its regional influence.

In response, India has been actively strengthening its ties with Bangladesh and other neighboring states through investments and development projects. India’s Neighbourhood First Policy has resulted in substantial Indian investment in Bangladesh’s infrastructure, including rail links and energy projects. India aims to counterbalance Chinese influence by reinforcing its strategic presence and connectivity in the region.

Japan also plays a role, offering alternatives to Chinese dominance through investments and participation in joint maritime exercises like Malabar. The Bay of Bengal’s geopolitical importance is thus elevated, with India and its allies needing to navigate the complexities of this power struggle carefully.

The Bangladesh crisis highlights the Bay of Bengal’s emerging role as a geopolitical hotspot. India must strategically manage its interests to safeguard regional stability amidst the intensifying US-China rivalry.
