Remember it is all about cost and all India is doing is making Maldives realize cost of making enemy out of India. It is not short term process as China will support them for few years but we will see for how long.
West also does not want China in Maldives so not sure why you keep relying on west support.
Are they trying to make an enemy out of you? You also underestimate Chinese resolve here. This is a golden ticket for them. People said the same about them leaving Africa, they haven't, and doubled down.
The West loves an underdog, and do remember the place is popular with influential westerners, hence why they are mentioned.
