hi,guy,I am glad to have a rational communication with you.
1.Are you simply think only china oppose india to join in UNSC? and are you naively think US will support india to join in UNSC?NO.no one wants to share their rights,especially US who has a clear idea that China will oppose india, so it is support on the surface. this is the strategy of great powers.
2.Do you know the real regional balance tactics?look at china and taiwan.US will not allow taiwan independence or unification to contain China, or as a bargaining chip in future negotiations.sovereignty is the biggest problem, and other problems are easy to solve.so I think there isnt problems difficult to solve between india and pakistan unless you don't want to solve it.
3.Who made the terrorists?look at Taliban and ISIS.you may have different answers because of the media.I never get the message about who made the terrorists from china media,I just extrapolate from the facts. don't be gullible in the media, even in the media of your so-called democracy.
Just as Chinese does not understand India, Indians does not know the real China.

This is not just about permanent membership in the five member Security council. China was the ONLY country among 15 member UNSC to oppose Masud Azhar to be an UN designated terrorist. You have twice refused to end technical hold on declaring Azhar a terrorist. We know what was the reason for your repeated refusals. It was Pakistan, Isn't?

Your regional balance tactics vis a vis India and Pakistan are not well received in India. You acknowledge that India's Nuclear record is better than Pakistan but yet you want both of them to be included in NSG because they are your all weather friend!! And that too after signing NPT, a clause completely invented by yourself.

I will not go into debate on who made our NE insurgents. May be US had an undeniable role in creating AQ or ISIS. But it has nothing to do with the fact that Assamese, Naga and Mizo separatists and Maoists have an unrestricted supply of Chinese weapons, radios and auxiliaries. You can't expect India will not forge alliance with US and Japan (Australia in near future) after all these act of yours.

But, I agree to your point that we don't understand each other. Much better people to people contact, trade and commerce, cultural exchange are needed. Our history of maintaining peace in our border has been phenomenon. So, I really expect our current differences will be addressed with care too and solved amicably.

If China were not constructing roads in sparsely populated border areas and arming Pakistan this might not have happened

That sounds like a good reason.but do you think its necessary to use aircraft carriers to keep safe of the route?
So don't look for good reasons,its all falsehood.

how many aircraft carriers does the Indian Navy have ?

India cannot join the UN Security Council anytime soon. All the P5 members do not want it expanded. On the NSG China did not block India. It is one thing to block India. It is another thing to equate us with Pakistan.

Taiwan is your problem with USA. India has not played any role there.

Taliban was creation of your ally Pakistan. ISIS and the Middle East is a different story. there is a good reason India is not involved in Middle East politics.

Not all Indians do not follow Indian media blindly.

There is a cultural gap between Indians and Chinese. It is hard to bridge.

Given submarines are required to keep route safe from pirates, i honestly don't see why AC can't be?? If you can please share your thoughts on that?

Submarines?you believe it too.in fact that is military exercise.
destroyers and frigates are the best escort tools.

I dont konw who is masud azhar and what he did.he is a terrorist if he killed innocent civilians for his own sake and purpose.but he will be not a terrorist if he just stand up to you politically.
Contradictions and misunderstandings are too many to be clear.just to remind you,do you expect your neighbor is your friend or your enemy?which better?we want to develop through economy and trade in a peaceful environment but someone dont want to see that. someone wants both sides of us to lose everything in the war.

Malabar 2017: India kicks off naval exercise with US, Japan
CHENNAI: Amidst concern raised by China, navies of India, US and the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force on Monday began Malabar naval exercise 2017, aimed at achieving deeper military ties between the three nations.

It is the 21st edition of the Malabar exercise.

HCS Bisht, flag officer commanding-in-chief, Eastern Naval Command, declared the exercise open. He said, "The exercise indicated a joint attempt to address common challenges and shared threat."

However, he refused to commit that choice of ships and the venue of exercise had anything to do with presence of Chinese ships or threat in the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean region.

Rear Admiral William D Byrne, Commander, US Strike Group 11, said the only strategic message that was being sent to all navies is that "we are better together and eliminate possibilities of miscalculations." He was responding to repeated questions of how China would view this joint exercise.

Sixteen ships, 95 aircraft and two submarines take part in the exercise that will go on till July 17.

The Malabar exercise is taking place amid the military stand-off between armies of India and China in the Sikkim section and Beijing ramping up its naval patrol in the Indian Ocean region.

China has stepped up its activities in the Indian Ocean in recent years, building ports in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

The maritime exercises come weeks after US President Donald Trump declared that ties between Washington and New Delhi had "never been stronger" as he held his first talks with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Beijing already claims large swathes of the resource-rich South China Sea and East China Sea, putting it in competition with Japan and other countries in the region.

It is the fourth consecutive year Japan's Maritime Self-Defence Force (MSDF) has taken part in the Malabar Exercise, conducted annually by the US and India in the Bay of Bengal since 1992.

In a statement, the US said the exercises had "grown in scope and complexity over the years to address the variety of shared threats to maritime security in the Indo-Asia Pacific".

Australia in near future

Aussies lack balls to stand against China or they are too corrupt with Chinese money. That's why despite repeated request from Australian navy, India denied them permission. Not even allow them as observers.

Our media as usual reported it as we didn't want to poke China, but in reality it was this

The GOI believes so, hence took a stubborn stance against them following these reports. You never know at what level they are corrupt.

Exactly my point..however this is the excuse China gives when their submarines are found here in IOC...

We have to go cautiously and the negotiations with Aussies should be a fluid one. Chinese foreign office was quite visibly satisfied when India rejected Aus request to participate in Malabar Ex.

Tell me are you fo ol or something? India only spend 2.5% of GDP for defence purposes.

Yeah, but it was India's call. I assume it was not because of China factor in the way media portrays but the level infiltration Chinese has made it into Australian politics and who knows the defense sector.
