China wants to increase its influence in Maldives
Currently, about 70 Indian soldiers are present in Maldives. Apart from these, one Dornier 228 Maritime Patrol aircraft and two HAL Dhruv helicopters are also present in Maldives.

This is the reason why if Indian troops withdraw from Maldives and China establishes its dominance there, then it will be a big blow for India.
