Appreciate the non-troll response.
From a regional perspective, India is not a threat to China because the Tibetan plateau serves as a useful spot from which China can hit India while reducing the ability of India to strike back (except with nuclear weapons.) The correlation of forces provided by geography is simply so favorable to China that unless India is 2 or 3 times stronger than China overall India will not be a strategic threat (again, absent a nuclear exchange).
How does china hits india from tibetian plateau? ,Do you expect india to not to deploy defences against china.Also haven't you heard of long range cruise missiles which makes distance irrelevant? Then what acording to you is the purpose of india buying all stuffs like rafale, sukhoi, PAKFA and apache? Surely india doesn't need them all to fight against pakistan.
Also with aircraft carrier battle groups india can strike back at any coastal chinese city.So do you expect chinese defence planners to not to know that?
If china is so secure then why the indo-US strategic relations are viewed as "BEFRIENDING THE FAR AND ATTACKING THE REAR"?in chinese strategic circle?
Why cannot china accept that US is the only window for india for the purpose of receiving FDI and increasing exports?
Furthermore, what interest does China have in holding India down on the global stage? As large developing nations, China and India both have many more interests in common than in conflict.
Then why does china oppose india's membership in UN security council and INDO-US nuclear deal so strongly?When the whole world is favourably inclined towards india's inclusion in NSG as a full member why did china oppose it tooth and nail till the final moment against india receiving nuclear technology?
Doesn't china knows that india's growing economy needs massive nuclear energy?Did they really expect india to disarm it's nuclear arsenal and become the member of NSG as a non weapon state?The behaviour of china at GENEVA crucial NSG meet was known to the whole world and splashed across indian mainstream media hour by hour day by day.
When US, RUSSIA, BRITIN, FRANCE and many other members viewed india as a responsible nuclear weapon power why did china blindly insist on tying india to the NPT, when even americans accepted their decades long folly of trying to tie india to NPT?That too knowing bloody well china has next to no influence in NSG and any other world forum of any significance
That's what concerns indians the most. For the persent and near future china is just a paper tiger on the world stage.even with this non existent influence china is hell bent on harming the vital interest of india at every possible oppurtunity.
Now you are coyly saying that china has no reason to fear india. WHile you think that pakistan is a responsible nuclear power and you are ready to supply nuclear reactors ithout it signing the NPT you were afraid that india is a bigger threat to world peace and has to be disarmed of nucler weapons. Strange indeed are the chinese opinions on world peace.
What sort of "resolution of immediate problems" does Chinese support for Pakistan prevent? Pakistan does not have nearly the arsenal that India does. To claim that this arsenal somehow holds India in check vis-a-vis China needs more links to work.
The US has wisely seen through the double game played by pakistan and is asking india to take up a more pro active role in afganistan to rescue it from pak based terrorists!!!!. Now china has become a pillar of strength to pak military establishment for their anti india agenda.If china stops transfer of nuclear missile tech to pak , then there will be no incentive for the pak military intelligence nexus to dream about dismembering india.It is the fond wish of pak military establishment to fight india with a strong outside support.
PAk too was once US window for muslim world along with SAUDI ARABIA.But US didnt transer nuclear missile tech to pakistan.Instead they just gave aid and normal military asistance only.China too could have followed the same route of giving aid for the oil pipeline.But choose the path to contain india through pak.
This misses one important point: Pakistan is the only window China has at the moment, but that does not mean China does not want to seek other friends in the Arab /Islamic world. Relations with Arab nations are not mutually exclusive--if the US can ally both Israel, Saudi Arabia,
and (to a lesser degree) Egypt, why does a Chinese relationship with Pakistan preclude relations with other Middle East/Islamic states? And these relationships are not mutually exclusive, then why does it matter that Pakistan is not the ideal partner for China to engage with?
Why is it spending money on developing ports in srilanka? To have a window to the budhist world perhaps?
China needs Pakistan as a friendly,
stable neighbor. Chinese aid is tailored to that goal. China has no need for a bulwark against a rising India, as a rising India is not a real threat to China. Finally, Chinese assets in South Asia are not dependent on a weak or "bound" India.
