In early March this year, China and the Maldives signed a 36-year military agreement, which covers China’s free military assistance to the Maldives. This agreement has attracted widespread attention throughout Asia, and some Western media have even speculated that China will implement the so-called "first island chain" strategy in the Indian Ocean region.

Maybe you are wondering, what exactly is the "First Island Chain"? The term comes from the Cold War, when the United States adopted a strategy to surround China in a series of key islands and waters in order to limit the expansion of China's influence in its surrounding areas. This formed the concept of the "first island chain."

So, is the military cooperation signed between China and the Maldives really building its "first island chain" strategy?
