Vested interests in India playing up military threat: Chinese daily

Following the launch of Agni-V, India and China must guard against "vested interests" that were playing up the "China threat" and promoting an arms race between the neighbours, the Communist Party-run The Global Times newspaper said on Sunday.

In the wake of the launch of India's first intercontinental ballistic missile with the capability of reaching most cities in China, both countries "should beware of efforts to create widespread fear and tension," the paper said in an editorial on its website, due to be published on Monday.

"By playing up the 'China threat' and postulating that India can 'counter and contain China,' vested interests are hoping to ensure that more and more money is spent on foreign weapons systems rather than domestic manufacture," said The Global Times, which is known for its strong nationalistic positions but also seen to echo the views of the more hard-line sections within the party and military.

Several state-run media publications have in recent days published commentaries hitting out at the launch of Agni-V, which was widely seen here as being directed at China. The government, however, played down the launch, with the Foreign Ministry stressing that both countries were not rivals but partners.......

"Together, India and China can make Asia strong. Divided, not only these two countries but all of Asia will remain weak," the editorial said..........

The Global Times said China had "raced ahead and "outclassed India" in both economic and technological fields, and celebrations in India over Agni-V "conceal the inadequacies" of the missile programme. It claimed that "pressure from NATO member countries" had slowed down the speed of development and restricted the range of Indian missiles. As India, unlike China, imported most of its critical weapons systems from France, the U.S., Russia and Israel, it also faced the risk that these countries could "cut off supplies ammunition during a conflict".

"By now, India ought to be a space power," the editorial said. "However, the country is so far behind China in this field that it is embarrassing."

Note the typical Chinese of double speak.

Together in peace India and China will make Asia a heaven.

And then how far behind India is to China in everything on earth.

Indeed, if that be the case, why the blue funks over one Missile launch which is 'so far behind' China?

It shows how mortally afraid China is of India and India's growing unity with the remainder of the world, as China is slowly losing friends!

When Arunachal Pradesh governor and former army chief had extended a hand of friendship to china why spit on it by making such spiteful claims.

India and China can be friends if china stopped proliferating weapons to India's hostile neighbour, you know who. ;)

And stop using petty journalists to put across your views, how about holding talks with politicians and making your positions clear.

I agree. China should decrease help to Pakistan . But building friendship is allways mutual. We have to stop supporting tibet and we need to get the dalai lama out of India in the interest of peace of over +2 billion people. All this tibet stuff is just a relict of Nehrus era.
If we manage to do these 2 steps, we are already a great step closer to Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai :thumb:

Will your government treat China differently if China stops helping Pakistan?!

India shoring up its defence legitimately is surely upsetting the Chinese plans to further their hegemonic and imperialist design.

Hence the shrill claims of the wonders China is achieving.

Good luck to them!

Sure, but like I said earlier, this will be just one step, but a great step. In the longterm, growing trade will be another good reason to not start a war
