Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha China’s growing influence in the Indian sub-continent as a major security challenge for India. Delivering the inaugural address at 12th Subroto Mukerjee Seminar at Centre for Air Power Studies, ACM Raha said that Chinese growing influence was with a strategic aim in mind, and it was being factored in India’s foreign and defence policies.

“China has increased its economic and military ties with all our neighbours. Rapid infrastructure development is taking place in the TAR (Tibet Autonomous Region). World’s highest airfield at Daocheng Yading, highest railway line from Xiniang, Qinghai province to TAR capital, development of the Gwadar port and Economic corridor through *** and Pakistan, development of roads in TAR up to Indian border and increasing economic and military ties with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar are all strategic moves by China to contain India”, ACM Raha said.


Highlighting Beijing’s other regional moves, ACM Raha added that “China has been making sustained efforts to make its presence felt in the IOR (Indian Ocean Region), including dispatch of submarines in the name of Piracy control, with a strange logic.”

“Incidents of border stand-off in the North, issuance of paper visa to the residents of Arunachal Pradesh (AP) and claiming of Aksai Chin and part of AP as part of China have diluted the agreement of five principles, Panchsheel signed way back in 1954,” ACM Saha noted at the seminar organized in the memory of Air Marshal Subroto Mukerjee, who was the first Indian Commander-in-Chief and Chief of the Air Staff of the Indian Air Force (IAF).

Noting that the rise of China, India and ASEAN has shifted the global economic centre of gravity and hence, the strategic centre of gravity to the Asia Pacific Region, ACM Raha said that India faced a unique challenge – it has the dual task of physical security of the borders and maintaining harmonious relations with its neighbours.

Talking about Pakistan, ACM Raha observed that the “support of the Pakistan Army to the militant organizations and continuous interference in the internal affairs of Jammu andKashmirwill remain a source of friction between the two countries.”

“Despite the grim internal situation, Pakistan has managed to strike a balance in its relations with China and USA. It has steadily built up its nuclear and ballistic missile capability with covert assistance from China and North Korea while continuing to receive monetary support and conventional weapons and aircraft from both USA as well as China. Their gamble of ‘Running with Hares and Hunting with Hounds’, while proclaiming itself as a member of GWOT is paying off handsomely due to various geo-political reasons,” ACM Raha added.

On the internal security challenges, ACM Raha said that it is becoming increasingly difficult to separate the internal threats to security from the external ones. According to him, “in the recent past Naxalism has emerged as the single biggest threat to India’s internal security and has assumed serious and threatening propositions.”

Highlighting the IAF’s role in support of anti-naxal operations, he said that IAF helicopters have flown 15,100 sorties since 2009 to transport 74,000 police personnel, 1,000 casualties and mortal remains and 1600 tonnes of load.

India is not even a fart in the wind compared to China.

The Chinese are superior to India in every single possible manner. Even in looks. Chinese are much more handsome and better looking than the short dark Hindus.

The next century belongs to China.

BEIJING: With India pitching for self- reliance in defence sector, Chinese strategic analysts have cautioned the government about India's new arms potential especially its growing military cooperation with Vietnam and the Philippines in China's backyard.

"(Prime Minister Narendra) Modi has ambitions to strengthen his country. Keen to ramp up India's economy, Modi launched the 'Make in India' campaign in a bid to attract international businesses to invest and manufacture in his country. But his vision of forging a strong India goes beyond that," an article by a think tank in state-run Global Times said today.

Modi made a strong pitch for a comprehensive self-reliance in national defence production while dedicating India's second aircraft carrier INS Virkamaditya in June last year.

"What's more, even given the fact that India is the world largest arms importer accounting for 14 per cent of the global arms imports, Modi thinks big and is trying to reverse the trajectory and turn India into an arms exporter," the article titled 'Stay alert to India's new arms potential' said.

"Toning up India's muscle for self-defence is one thing, but perhaps Modi has other motives by selling made-in-India weaponry," it said, referring to the sale of India's first indigenously made warship to Mauritius which it said has evoked interest to Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and the Philippines.

Both Hanoi and Manila are currently pitted against China over the South China Sea dispute.

While keeping a wary eye on India's forays into East Asia, Chinese strategic analysts play down China's big push into South Asia, especially the Indian Ocean where Beijing built up significant influence in Sri Lanka and Maldives with aid and military assistance.

"Kolkata-based defence shipyard is gearing up to build four offshore patrol ships for Vietnam, a new step of military cooperation beyond submarine and fighter training.

"What's more, it is bidding for a USD 400 million project to build two frigates for the Philippines. Targeting its potential consumers in Southeast Asia, India is trying to kill two birds with one stone," the article said.

The think tank said that "New Delhi's 'Look East' policy is shifting to 'Act East', and it wants to pivot to the Asia-Pacific region."

India's growing military cooperation with Vietnam and the Philippines, though still at a low level and without solid strategic purpose at present, is part of its effort to seek such a pivot, it said.

"However, given that it is exporting less advanced weaponry to these countries, India is being prudent in increasing its military presence in this region. India must have realised that the export of highly advanced arms such as strategic missiles will pose real threats to China's security," it said.

The article said that so far "India has no capability to get seriously involved in the South China Sea issue. Otherwise, such an aggressive push will only meet China's countermeasures."

"Therefore, for now, India's arms export, although directed to Hanoi and Manila, is fundamentally a business-driven activity. It sees developing countries needing to update their weaponry as the biggest potential customers," it said.

"As ambitious as it is, India is much less qualified as a real arms exporter compared with the US, Russia and even China. The crux rests on its vulnerable industrial system and manufacturing capability. But it doesn't mean that India won't be a competitive player in this field in the future," the article said.

"In this case, China should stay alert to India's moves in the South China Sea because of the possibility that India can transfer the business-oriented arms trade into a strategic action aimed at China," it said.
