China in the past has denied that its research ships were spying in the Indian Ocean.
Open-source, ship-tracking data showed China has recently sent three research vessels to the Indian Ocean to survey the strategic waters that border its competitor India.The movements of the Chinese ships—the Xiang Yang Hong 03, the Hai Yang Shi You 718, and the Bei Diao 996—were recorded on the Global Fishing Watch website, a group that tracks commercial fishing and coast guard vessels in the different bodies of water around the world.
By collecting data in distant oceans—like the deployment of surface buoys in the Indian Ocean to transmit meteorological and oceanographic information in real-time—these scientific research vessels can support the development of China's maritime capabilities for global operations.
