年0年号 loses his "horse", and it is not a blessing. On April 10, Maldives President Saleh won more than 60% of the seats in the parliament, and Yamin lost the opportunity to turn the tables. After consolidating the power base, the "pro-Indian faction" Saleh had almost no worries, but instead had to consider how to maintain a balance among major powers.

However, Japanese media are still hyping the Maldives say "no" to China and gloats about the loss of power of the "pro-China faction". Saleh's adviser and former Mademoiselle President Nashid refuted the Japanese media's reports through a spokesperson: the statement that the Maldives will take sides is absurd. The Mademoiselle will repay its debts as promised, and will not default on the contract and stop Chinese-funded projects. The investigation and recovery of Yamin will not target any country.

And in September 2018, the Maldives seemed to be hiking into India's arms regardless of everything. Saleh, who was considered a "pro-Indian faction" at the time, defeated Yamin (which was considered to be a "pro-China faction") in the general election and ascended the throne of president. Malaysian Foreign Minister Shahid also immediately admitted "India priority".

German media reported on November 27, 2018 that the new Maldives Finance Minister Amir visited New Delhi on the 26th, telling the Indian side that the Maldives is currently in high debt, mainly because the infrastructure construction project funds are higher than expected, and many projects are close to completion, which makes the Malaysian side more difficult. Malaysia is also considering withdrawing from the "China-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement" that has just been signed.

An example given by Amir is that a hospital project in Male has already cost $140 million, while the original planned investment was $54 million. Projects such as land reclamation, construction of cross-sea bridges, and construction of real estate have made the Maldives' total debt exceed 25% of the annual GDP.

India is certainly happy to have his embrace of Maldives. Modi personally attended the inauguration ceremony of Maldives President Saleh in November 2018, and claimed that India would generously help Maldives overcome difficulties. Modi praised the partnership between Maldives and India and was willing to promote exchanges and cooperation between the two sides in infrastructure, medical care and human resources.

At the inauguration ceremony, Saleh poured all the "cannon fire" on former President Yamin, believing that he caused billions of dollars in losses to the Maldives, and claimed that the treasury was "raided" because it was initially estimated that the total debt owed to China exceeded US$1.5 billion.

A few months later, a dramatic scene appeared. Not long ago, the Maldives Foreign Minister Shahid, who was criticized for , the world's second largest economy, made a 180-degree turn. He not only sang the hymn of "China-Malaysia Friendship", but also denied "choose a side station among friends." According to the analysis of the interviewer, this statement may imply that the Maldives will not turn to India. To summarize it simply, there should be four main reasons:

First of all, a small country like the Maldives that is scarce but has an important position, the most in line with the national interests is to become a "hot commodity" that both the strongest have tried their best to win and please. If you completely turn to one of them, not only will it not be possible to "take both sides", but it is likely to cause disaster.

Secondly, the Maldives do not fully trust India and always have a guard against it. Moreover, the help provided by India often has some conditions attached. Due to inefficiency, the third brother cannot provide timely support in many aspects. India promised to provide more than 1 billion US dollars in aid to the Maldives in December 2018, but it was not ready-made real money, but it was difficult to relieve the Maldives' near-thirst through the currency swap agreement , preferential loans, etc.

Third, infrastructure construction can promote economic development. Although Yamin owes debts, it improves the livelihood situation in the Maldives, the business environment is beneficial to long-term interests. Let’s talk directly, whoever tastes the sweetness knows. Yamin planted trees, Saleh picked fruits, and the "Law of True Scent" came into play again.

Fourth, we cannot be ripped off with the world's second largest economy, not only because at least 30% of tourists from the mainland, but also because if the Ma Dai wants to upgrade its industries in the future (such as engaging in international trade and even the financial industry, in-depth development of the tourism industry, etc.), it is inseparable from the help of the Eastern powers.

Regarding the transformation of the Maldives, Russian media revealed the secret: No country can provide the Maldives with funds to promote development like China. The United States is just talking about it, but it does not give it verbally.

Facts have proved that for some relatively capricious small countries, the "cooling method" can be adopted, and a certain period of "cooling-off" can be given, and contradictions and problems can often be solved without confrontation and solved easily. In a word: It is better to hang on it than to hold it in a hug. (End)
