India gains nothing by stirring 'further hostility': China daily cribs

India may have missiles that can reach most parts of China but stands "no chance in an overall arms race" with the country, a Chinese daily said on Thursday, when India test-fired its 5,000 km range nuclear capable missile, and added that New Delhi would gain nothing by stirring "further hostility".

The article, India being swept up by missile delusion, that appeared in the op-ed section of the state-run Global Times said India apparently is hoping to enter the global intercontinental missile club, despite intercontinental missiles normally having a range of over 8,000 km.

India on Thursday test-fired the Agni-V missile that can accurately hit targets more than 5,000 km away. With this launch, India entered an exclusive club of nations that have this capability.

The daily noted that India has moved rapidly in developing missile technology.

"It successfully launched the Agni IV with a range of 3,500 km last year. Indian public opinion has long seen China as its reference point for military development," it said.

Criticising India, it said the country "is still poor and lags behind in infrastructure construction, but its society is highly supportive of developing nuclear power and the West chooses to overlook India's disregard of nuclear and missile control treaties".

"The West remains silent on the fact that India's military spending increased by 17% in 2012 and the country has again become the largest weapons importer in the world," it said.

It stressed that India "should not overestimate its strength".

"Even if it has missiles that could reach most parts of China, that does not mean it will gain anything from being arrogant during disputes with China. India should be clear that China's nuclear power is stronger and more reliable. For the foreseeable future, India would stand no chance in an overall arms race with China," it warned.

It went on to say that "India should also not overstate the value of its Western allies and the profits it could gain from participating in a containment of China. If it equates long range strategic missiles with deterrence of China, and stirs up further hostility, it could be sorely mistaken".

The daily advised that China and India should develop as friendly a relationship as possible. "Even if this cannot be achieved, the two should at least tolerate each other and learn to coexist."

It quickly added that it would be "unwise for China and India to seek a balance of power by developing missiles".

"The geopolitics of Asia will become more dependent on the nature of Sino-Indian relations. The peace and stability of the region are crucial to both countries. China and India should both take responsibility for maintaining this peace and stability and be wary of external intervention," the article said.

"China understands the Indian desire to catch up with China. China, as the most appropriate strategic target for India, is willing to take India as a peaceful competitor."

The daily said China and India are sensitive toward each other, "but objectively speaking, China does not spend much time guarding against India, while India focuses a lot of attention on China".

"China hopes India will remain calm, as this would be beneficial to both giants."

they have 2 things that's itching their arse...

1) why west kept mum on indians missile launch
2) why west is keeping mum on indias military expenditure.

it seems like Chinese think that only they have the right to develop missiles and military against other countries. if u remember correctly, it was china who placed missiles in tibet in the first place and started to build army near LOC

india spends only 40 billion USD while china spends 350 billion USD approx per year.. and yet they cry foul.

lol. i told you that chinese are Coward people.

and our baki friends are downplaying this incident saying this missile if for china only :rofl:

OK.

RT alone won't increase the follower. Try to use many handles (mention) in your Tweet. Ask question and reply. Also, Take help of Trend with #tag. That will show your tweet in search. Also Tweet news and some remark on regular basis. Try to engage few active twitter handle having 1,000+ followers who are not celebrity because they mostly reply and RT or use mention. Then more people will start following. 176 followers is very less despite it's DFI official handle. Someone needs to handle the account actively on daily basis.

Because India does not think they are the 'Inheritors of the world' that China pretends to think they are!

China, the West feel, are a bunch of twats!

Where does it straiten up? Looks like a perfect arc, the fact that it is moved towards the left of the screen creates an illusion that the arc is elongated on the decent side. Just look at the arc and not the blue background and you can see the arc is perfect it is the screen that is offset.

looks like this is No.1 on A5 has large fuel tank, which has allowed it to glide further.

as shown in the Pic Agni 3TD has fuel tank.





i think it has travel/glided 500+ km due to this.
