Funny I was thinking exactly the same yesterday when i heard that the AR RFP will be scrapped due to kickbacks by Sig Sauer... Didn't post as i thought I was just being paranoid...
China disarming India without fighting | Niti Central
More than 2,000 years back, Sun Tzu, the author of the Art of War wrote, "For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill; to subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."
If I was a Chinese general and keen to defeat India without combating, do you know what I would do?
I would provide 'proofs' that foreign arms dealers have corrupted some Indian officials or politicians by paying hefty 'commissions'. I would repeat this for each and every armament deal.
The result would be terrific. The Indian Ministry of Defence would immediately cancel all the deals, no more arms for the three Indian services! It would be rather easy to realise. One just has to 'inform' the Indian Government that something has gone wrong in the procurement process, and 'someone' has taken money.
So easy to do and easy to believe! The reverse would be unbelievable.
