There is a difference in the Chinese -pak nuclear deal that NSG has ignored. China has helped Pak with their military nuclear program while India's nuclear deals are strictly for India's civilian nuclear energy program. Why Indian govt has remained silent about this is strange??First the NSG ok'd the deal only for Chasma-4 (or was it Khushab-4 ?) because they claimed it was grandfathered - meaning the deal was signed before China entered NSG in 2004. I dont think any more deals would be okayed.
Second the exemption given or India stays as of now with all three US, Russia and France (more importantly France) have said the "FUll" exemption given to India still stands. I dont think anyone is fool enough to leave the 100 + billion dollar Indian nuke market to satisfy some nuclear nothings like Austria, Swiss etc. I think it is too early to say anything.
Thirdly how many days can the Chinese afford to carry the crippled man unless he himself is willing to come out of crutches ?
See I am not for de-nuclearising or reducing the existing stocks. I just want an arsenal of about 500 high yield, miniaturised nukes with the associated ICBMs and SLBMs. But too much of anything is not useful and that too nukes.We need to think for ourselves, for our credible deterrence, not for measuring the weany with anyone.
