BEIJING: China on Tuesday warned India about it regards meddling in its dispute with Vietnam over islands in the South China Sea. It also opposed the latest move by the Vietnamese government inviting India to carry out oil exploration in South China Sea.

"With regard to the Vietnamese prime minister's call for India to support the peaceful resolution of the South China Sea, I want to point out that the dispute should be resolved through dialogue and consultations by countries directly involved on the basis of respecting historical facts and international law," Hong Lei, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said.

He was reacting to an offer by Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung asking India to launch exploration in two oil fields for exploration in the South China Sea.

Dung's offer made in New Delhi has surprised China because its state councillor Yang Jeichi has just returned from Hanoi after discussing measures to improve China-Vietnam relations.

Hong said India should also respect the efforts being made by China and Vietnam to resolve their dispute instead of trying to play a role in it.

"Countries directly involved in the South China Sea dispute strive to resolve disputes through negotiation and consultation, and maintain regional peace and stability. Their efforts should be respected by relevant countries," Hong said.

"This is in line with international laws and common practices," Hong said, "... and is also the consensus reached by China and Asean countries in the DOC (Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea)."

India should not engage itself because it is not a party in the dispute between China and Vietnam over two sea islands. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha (Spratly) Islands in the South China Sea, which is also claimed by Vietnam, Hong said.

At the same time, the ministry's reaction was noticeably less harsh compared to Beijing's stance three years back when the ONGC has begun oil exploration in the area in collaboration with a Vietnamese government company. China said it would not object to exploration by India if it was conducted in an area that was outside its claims of sovereignty.

China does it mind "any lawful and justifiable exploration activity" in the area, the ministry spokesman said. But it is "firmly oppose" if such activity undermines the sovereignty and interests of China," he said.

In today's politics, these warnings mean jack$hit.

Now if Chinese navy shows up knocking at the doors of drilling rig, then we see some solid evidence.

Otherwise

it remains empty slogans. That's all.

But real life scenario involves real lives, money and a whole bunch of other countries and variables. So yeah its not like playing Warcraft. See India has no intention to make an enemy out of China. China keeps messing in our turf hence India is forced to reciprocate its basic geo politics. If China does not be a pain in the *** for India then India will not be a pain for China.is it that hard to respect each others growth and live in peace?

Relations between China and India went to hell when India acquired delusions of grandeur. China suffered extreme famine in 1962 only to have the problem exacerbated by the Indian forward policy.
Hundreds of PLA soldiers were killed by the Indians while thousands of captured Indian soldiers were fed rice from a starving nation.

Always prodding and poking, the Indians are difficult neighbors. Keep poking the panda and it will eventually lash out.

Peace with India will create a power bloc to rival the rest of the world in a couple od decades. Unfortunately, the Indians have to fcuk it all up every few decades.

Basically agree to what you said with a minor addition that many more in the thousands of malnutritious Indians were killed before the rest were fed on humanitarian grounds

The Indians are sneaky cunning snakes

Okay let's say I agree to what you said. If China is the only country to want peace then why are they trying to dominate India and help her enemies and being aggressive at the borders? If China would stop all this then India would support China in everything. Together the alliance will be very formidable.

 

[sathya]

Chinese are issuing warnings every fortnight nowadays..

Indians have been offensive to China all the time:
1. Taking our land in S Tibet illegally
2. Initiated the stupid " Forward Policy" which has led to our loss of lives
3. Supporting Dalai and the separatists
4. In negotiation of military deals with countries hostile to us
5. Drilling operations in SCS
6. stabbing our back again when we are trying to make $10 bln investment in India

Should we trust this country at all?

and who taught you that, your communist "government"??

This nation called India fed almost as much as a small nation during the Bangladesh Liberation War when being itself on the level of starvation. Its called humanity, what's your point?

Trying to get a piece of the Tiger, well you eventually will if you don't come to the grips of yourself.

Agreed that peace with China is important for us as well but unfortunately you never get to know properly who fcuks it up. There's a reason why Hong Kong is demonstrating.

Stabbing your back? And that too, when you were making investments?

Anyway, what do you have to say about "your" contribution to "Pakistani nuclear bombs missiles"?

We will not be even until every country in Southeast Asia is a Nuclear Weapons State -- every country in SE Asia with who you have problem!!!

 

[dichoi]

we hve right to drill oil in our EZZ with our India friend. .

 

[Yeti]

China has interests in Azad Kashmir which is disputed so we can venture in the South China seas, all is fair in love and war!

 

[C130]

China is saying one thing while doing another. they are just buying time. they have no interest in solving the disputes with dialogue and compromise.
