China 'fears' India's rapid border capacity building: AK Antony, Defence Mi

[ChinaToday]

NEW DELHI: Facing attack over its China policy, government today asserted in Parliament that capacities are rapidly being built along the Line of Actual Control and China "fears" India is trying to catch up with it which sometimes results in face-offs between the two armies.

Rubbishing reports that China had occupied 640 km of Indian land in Ladakh, Defence Minister A K Antony asserted in both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha that no territory has been ceded to that country.

He conceded that China was "superior" in terms of border infrastructure as India, because of 1962 war, was late in deciding on building roads and other capabilities near the Line of Actual Control, which he described as a "collective failure".

Making statements in the two Houses, he said all steps are being taken to safeguard national security while seeking a peaceful solution to the long-pending boundary disputes between the two sides.

His statements came after Opposition parties and UPA ally Samajwadi Party targetted the government over its dealing with China despite repeated incursions and other provocative acts.

"I have no hesitation to say that China is in a better position than India in terms of border infrastructure. It is a mistake, it is all of us who are to be held collectively responsible for it. It is a historical legacy," Antony said.

After "years of neglect", he said India is fast developing capabilities near the China border, including building of roads, raising of two mountain Divisions, many new airfields and landing grounds.

"It is their fear that India is trying to catch up with them," he said answering questions over the reason for increased incursions by Chinese troops over the last few years.

atleast Anthony has got courage to call spade a spade.

We've made a very late begining as far as Border with China is concerned, and it will take many many years to reach a level where armed forces can start feeling confident, but atleast some begining is made.

Strength is vital to peace.

India should always have a level of capability to inject fear of God in the chinese. Then we don't need to have a soldier deployed on every inch of the undemarcated border.

Something like an advanced version of what we did a few months back .... the chinese rolled back their tent without a single soldier being mobilized. The key lay in the fact that we "could have" blasted the $hit out of them. The capability suffices ... and you usually don't even need to use it.

We will invade India whenever the damn hell we want and India will just sit there crying. India has always been our punching bag for decades and it will remain that way. We love to make a mockery of India. Why? Because we can!

When do you think China will actually militarily attack India?

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

When do you think China will actually militarily attack India?

The next time they try to conduct a "Forward Policy".

And considering the recent incursions, they seem to be heading that way, and fast.

They can't just sit back and take it forever, giving in to our demands every time. They are eventually going to have to respond, either with a counter-incursion or by trying to remove PLA soldiers by force.

One itchy trigger finger is all it will take. And everyone will see that we didn't start it.

As time ticks on.. you will need to gather all your courage to even "utter" such statements, even on an inconsequential internet forum.

Yes, it is unfortunate that we are not yet there.

But we are moving in that direction.

What would be the goal of the attack?

Kashmir population is ready for independence, but North East states population is not ready. Since 1947 this NE states and Bangladesh theater was mismanaged by both Chinese and Pakistan strategists, the result was 1971 loss for China and Pakistan. Since then due to lack of attention, most of the population there lost hope. Chinese intelligence need to find and back a political party indigenous to the area and make the population ready for independence. This will take at least 5-10 years if not more.

Nepal and Bhutan need to be under complete Chinese control.

An insurgency in North East states would drain Indian GDP by at least 1-2%, due to destabilization and mobilization.

Only when the NE states population is ready, a full scale insurgency should be commenced and when the Indian armed forces is lured into committing atrocities among local population there, finally China can step in as the savior. This is how Pakistan was broken up in 1971. You guys need to study that incident in detail to see how the Indian medicine can be applied to India itself to cut off the Chicken Neck.

They have been ready for independence for the past 60 years Bangladesh will be flooded before it even thinks about any shenanigan. And Indian objective is to annex the Rangpur division of Bangldesh, after which there won't be any chicken neck. Furthermore, India will support the rebels in CHT and liberte Chittagong and make it an Indian protectorate. Myanmar will put pressure from the other side. Game over for Bangladesh.

There is nothing you can do if a Bangladeshi American puts idea into Chinese heads, of course Bangladesh cannot think about doing anything. Try to read the post for a change, everything I proposed will be done by China and their proxies in countries other than Bangladesh, the main one being Myanmar, your supposed ally.

AK Antony is a good Defence Minister, in fact, he is the only one who has some vision & plan in the entire Govt.

we civilized Nehru, taught him how to respect his Chinese master. He is now RIP in the hell.

Irrespective of what fanboys think here I don't think there would be another Indo-China war both countries very well know even if war doesn't goes nuclear(a highly unlikely scenario) it sill would push back both countries by a few decades or in case nukes come into play it might be true as of now our current nuclear arsenal is not enough to completely annhaliate China but still is more than enough to inflict serious damage to its economy, military strength and civilian population

I asked for recent events,not 1962. As Chinese-Dragon said,Indians are heading towards next forward policy.
