And who's the guy saying the Indian Ocean should be a no-go zone for all other navies?

    Overall, though, is there any indication of what exactly these sources are, or any supporting evidence? Are they talking about a full-blown naval base, or a vessel deployment similar to what's going on in Singapore?

    The overall tone of the video seems very breathless and excited, but is there any real substance behind it?
