Expansionist policy? Do u really think that wud happen? Ask any Chinese here. China is completely dependent on foreign Cash for its economy. even today the majority chunk of their GDP comes from Exports.

What do u think will happen once sanctions are applied on Chinese ?

Now the question is will the West apply sanctions in an event of misadventure by the Chinese? Well, not till Chinese remains the World's Factory. But once they get the alternative, then they can. And with Indian Freight Corridors and ASEAN counties' developing state, I dont see much time left when China gets a strong competition for this sense.

Bottomline is China has a Long way to go before countering the Developed World.

Hence its not easy and China isnt fool enough to rise its hegmony in the region. Their complete focus is on Economic Dominance of World before trying to EXPAND regionally.
...

I think you misunderstood me over the expansionist part. It is not always about invading other countries or colonizing them. China's expansion has been based being able to exert influence behind the doors. I've said elsewhere on the forum, that China is going to get to a point where it wins battles without firing a single bullet.

On sanctions: we may never see sanctions on China for the simple reason; that China is good for business.

On freight corridors; you would be assuming that China would never improve it's own manufacturing and transportation facilities.

On the last point: I agree with that, except that China may not engage in regional expansion. With the exception of a few territorial issues.

Agreed with all that, but how do u explain the rise of Cost? China is developing and more it develops, less become the PPP difference with the international value. How do u justify the businesses which China is into today because of its cheapness? Today China is no more that low cost high profit country with rise in prople's per capita and rise in Administrative costs in the PNL Account.

Thats where I say, same role is gonna be taken by India now coz of its similarities with China. Some reason growth patterns of both country has been same only divided by a time period.

Any advancements into the disputed and sensitive areas related to India is seen as an aggression and will be reciprocated accordingly !!!

Indian occupiers can **** themselves. With love from the terrorized oppressed Ladakh people who can't speak their minds freely.

Beijing: India Monday voiced its concern to China over its plan to build a multi-billion dollar Economic Corridor to Pakistan through Azad Kashmir, even as it assured Beijing of its commitment to consolidate strategic bilateral ties.

"We have raised this issue and raised our concerns not (only) this time, we have made them known earlier. They have noted our concerns," Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh told reporters here after holding the sixth round of Strategic Dialogue with her Chinese counterpart Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin.

The talks were held as the long-running Lok Sabha elections, hailed as the world's biggest democratic exercise, got underway in India that will form a new government at the Centre.

Asked whether the issue figured in the talks today, she said it was raised this time too.

The Corridor connecting China's Xinjiang with Pakistan's Gwadar Port with rail and road links raised concerns in India as it is being built through Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

China argues that it would help redress the backwardness of the region.

The two sides held most cordial discussions enhancing the scope of the relations which in recent years showed steadfast increase.

On the border dispute, Singh said it figured but at the same elaborated that the issue is being discussed in detail by the Special Representatives who have held 17 rounds of talks.

Singh, in her opening remarks, said: "My visit here today is to reiterate to the government of China that the government of India attaches the highest priority to India's relations with China.

"We are committed to consolidating our strategic and cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity. The core of our vision is of a good neighbourly relationship based on mutual trust and understanding and where we are sensitive to each other's concerns and aspiration."

"As our Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) articulated on several occasions, there is sufficient space in the world for both India and China to meet their developmental aspirations within our respective processes of economic and social development there is great scope for bilateral cooperation," Singh said.

Stating that the annual Strategic Dialogue is being held in less than a year, she told Liu that "it is symbolic of the fact that our interactions are increasing".

China said it was "confident" that India will stay committed to strong bilateral ties irrespective of whichever party comes to power after the polls.

Singh later called on Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi late in the evening and held 40-minute-long talk with him.

During the strategic talks, both sides expressed their confidence about the continuation of close bilateral ties irrespective of whichever party comes to power in India after the polls.

Asked whether change of government in India after the polls would impact the relations, Singh said during her interactions with the Chinese think tanks as well as Liu she stressed about the continuity of the relations.

"We have seen the continuity in India's China policy going back to Rajiv Gandhi's historic visit in 1988" to Beijing, she said, adding that since then the relations have been on a forward trajectory.

Asked whether she had any interaction with political parties back home before coming here, she said "they are all busy canvassing in elections," and pointed to the ink on her finger.

Pressed further on this issue she said "isn't it all known. Don't we have a fair idea whether the political parties want to increase their relations with China or not. I think there is broad consensus in that direction," she said.

China said it was "confident" that India will stay committed to strong bilateral ties irrespective of whichever party comes to power after the polls.

"We are confident that to promote China-India friendship is a shared consensus of all political parties in India.

"So I am confident that whichever party comes into power in India, it will stay committed to friendship and cooperation between the two countries," Liu said.

Liu, in his opening remarks, appreciated the timing of the talks between the two foreign ministries, terming the Indian general elections as "very important".

Singh said the two sides today had a three-and-a-half hour talks.

"The talks are very useful and very fruitful. It gives the sense of the breadth and depth of the relationship," she said.

The issues which figured in the talks included high-level exchanges, year friendly exchanges, 60th anniversary of Panchasheel, trade and economic issue, the need to promote investment from both countries, infrastructure, high speed rail networks, cultural exchanges and visa regime.

"It is very satisfying, very good talks as the two sides made measured progress on several fronts," she said.

Liu said China is ready to maintain the momentum of high-level contact and exchange of visit with India, enhance mutual trust on strategic level, expand practical cooperation and friendly exchanges and strengthen communication and cooperation on major regional and international issues.

He said China is ready to work with India to properly manage and address disputes.

Liu said bilateral relations have seen a very good beginning this year, which marks the Year of Friendly Exchanges between China and India.

He said in recent years, China-India relations have remained stable, healthy and embarked on an ascending track.

The link up between Pakistan and China is the main reason why thousands of soldiers are dying on Siachen Galcier . This Glacier offers strategic advantage in case Pakistan and China try to attack India.

This is where India can over look Karkhoram pass and movement between Pakistan and China.

mate siachen glacier is more then 200km south east of the Karakorum highway ! Karakorum pass & Karakorum highway are two different places !
