"A Tale of Two Ports:Chinese-Indian Rivalry Grows in the Arabian Sea" from Jakarta Globe

"Sino-Indian rivalry in the Indian Ocean and India's naval cooperation with the United States draw the world's attention, but quietly, out of sight, a contest has been building in the Arabian Sea centered between two ports, one in Pakistan and the other in Iran.

The first, located in Gwadar, is intended to give China access to the Indian Ocean; the second, Chabahar, is supposed to connect India to Afghanistan and counter the first."
