My honest advice: don't buy weapons, your don't need them, use the money for people.
Since china has much bigger economy and much bigger defence budget its applicable to china first. If they reduce their military budget whole asia will reduce their budget. Go and preach this idea to your CCP bosses.

So that when PRC invades, one has nothing but pots and pans to defend oneself with? Sorry, bad idea. Come up with something better bud!

1. India economy seriously relies on FDI.
2. FDI in India is fast losing since 2010.
3. Japan has big investment in India.
4. Japanese overseas money will flow back to Japan due to the disaster.

1+2+3+4=?

And what would be the dishonest advice compared to this rather dubious advice?

I am sure the weapons do worry you as an obstacle to your relentless and aggressive hegemonic pursuits. We are well aware of the Chinese 'honest' advice of the Bandung Principles and what happens if one believes the Chinese.

Enough of the crocodile tears.

Reminds me of Lady Macbeth telling her husband to "look like the innocent flower/But be the serpent under it".

And my honest advise to China: stop building huge stock of arms and weapons and trying to punch above your weight - spend the money on the hundreds of millions of rural Chinese poor, and the 500 million Chinese who live under $1 a day.

And an additional advise for you, which I take the opportunity of giving every conceited patronizing swollen-headed Chinese I happen to encounter online, and there seem to be a lot of them around these days: you are still a poor developing nation with all the problems of a third-world country - you are not in the league of the West and Japan/Korea. You can preach to other countries to spend on this and that, after you first get out of the muck your nation is in.

SULTANPUR: Union minister of state for steel Beni Prasad Varma today said that tsunami in Japan would also affect country's first gas-based steel plant being set up by Steel Authority of India in Jagdishpur.

"Work on the plant will start after sometime as it is to be set up with the cooperation of Kobo Steel of Japan, which has been hit by tsunami yesterday," Varma, who was here to inspect the unit, told reporters.

He said that application has been moved for gas supply to the plant and a letter would be send to the Prime Minister requesting to expedite the process.

"The plant is being set up with a cost of Rs 5,000 crore and the work will be completed in three years," he said.

The minister said that modern steel, which is as of now being imported, would be manufactured at the plant.

He said that the plant would provide employment to 4,000 youths and priority would be given to local residents, whose land has been acquired for the project.

NEW DELHI: Ready to extend all possible help immediately to Japan, reeling under the devastation caused by the massive earthquake and Tsunami, India is sending its first plane load of blankets on Sunday. "India sending wool good quality blankets for the people of Sendai and others affected by Japan quake. 1st plane load being readied," foreign secretary Nirupama Rao tweeted.

"Discussed this with Jap (Japanese) Amb (Ambassador) in Delhi and we felt this was most useful and needed item given cold weather conditions in affected areas," she said.

MEA officials also said that governments of Haryana and Punjab are also helping in procuring large quantities of woollen blankets as the weather is very cold there.

Rao is in constant touch with Indian embassy officials and also Japanese officials here regarding their requirements. "All possible help will be extended immediately," they said.

Japan was hit by one of the worst ever earthquakes, causing giant tsunami waves on Friday and according to some news-media estimates, the death toll ranged between 1,300 and 1,700, and could rise sharply.

In the port town of Minamisanriku, nearly 10,000 people were unaccounted for, according to the public broadcaster.

The Earthquake in the Indian ocean a few years ago also caused a tsunami that hit the Tamil nadu reactor but it was ok and still in operation. The Japanese are reportedly going to build reactors in India in the US nuke deal, seems our indigenous reactors are better built??

Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant faces new reactor problem




TOKYO (Reuters) – A quake-hit Japanese nuclear plant reeling from an explosion at one of its reactors has also lost its emergency cooling system at another reactor, Japan's nuclear power safety agency said on Sunday.
The emergency cooling system is no longer functioning at the No.3 reactor at Tokyo Electric Power Co's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility, requiring the facility to urgently secure a means to supply water to the reactor, an official of the Japan Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency told a news conference.
On Saturday, an explosion blew off the roof and upper walls of the building housing the facility's No. 1 reactor, stirring alarm over a possible major radiation release, although the government later said the explosion had not affected the reactor's core vessel and that only a small amount of radiation had been released.
The nuclear safety agency official said there was a possibility that at least nine individuals had been exposed to radiation, according to information gathered from municipal governments and other sources.

You are wrong, the below text means:
1, Your tariffs are high in his opinion. This point is unimportant, leave it alone.
2, The "restrictions" doesn't mean the amount, but the domains, such as restrictions for protecting retail and insurance of Indian local enterprises. You thought it's for the amount of FDI, this is your critical misunderstanding.
3, You need more fund to improve your infrastructure and supply chain.

I worry your comprehensibility and knowledge.
Mumbai, Feb 11 (IANS) Reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers and lifting restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI) could help India trigger fund inflows, crucial to help fix the country's creaking infrastructure, US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said here Friday."Higher investments flowing in to build food storage facilities will help smoothen the supply chain and, in turn, lower food prices," he told reporters here.
