A Chinese carrier visit to Djibouti and India's likely reaction

Had a Chinese aircraft carrier visited China's naval base in Djibouti by January 2023?

He did not think so. A Chinese carrier entering the Indian Ocean would be expected to draw major attention in India.

As of January 2023, no Chinese aircraft carrier was known here to have visited China's naval base in Djibouti. The answer remains cautious because it is based on recollection rather than a checked record. Any Chinese carrier entering the Indian Ocean would be expected to attract major attention in India. The brief exchange ties a possible port visit to regional naval signalling and China-India relations.
