Hi,

An online poll conducted by huanqiu.com on June 10 shows that 90 percent of participants believe India poses a big threat to China after India announced it would dispatch 60,000 troops to the border with China.

The tension along the disputed border between the two countries has escalated in the last few days after India's latest military move. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh claimed, despite cooperative India-China relations, his government would make no concessions to China on territorial disputes.

The Indian government's tough stance has won applause among Indian nationalists, but it's not well-received in China.

About 74 percent people in the poll by huanqiu.com believed China should not maintain the friendly relations with India anymore after its military provocation. And more than 65 percent of people taking part in the poll believed India's actions were harmful to bilateral ties and it is more harmful to India.

India's military moves could cast a shadow over bilateral relations, said Dai Xun, an expert in military affairs, who described India's actions as “plundering a burning house”, when the international community was focused on a reported nuclear test in the DPRK, destroying the mutual trust between neighboring countries.

An expert in the Asia-pacific region, Sun Shihai, with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told the Global Times that the two countries share a lot of mutual interests, so India has to cooperate with China; but India also needs to show its “will and resolution” to both domestic politicians and the international community.

“It (additional deployment) is not helpful to resolve the border dispute, and could easily cause regional tension,” Sun said.

Peace

I'd take India over China any day.
The terrain in which China and India face off against each other is possibly the most difficult terrain in the world.

Chinese have a Unique way of writing News

The Chi-Coms of course view India as a threat..... It's a nuclear armed nation that fight back and doesn't bow down to the commies.

How would have thought that the Chi-Coms would support that.

I agree.
But why would India want to provoke China?
Not a good move.

It is pretty much a no win situation for either of them given the resources in manpower both sides have.

Don't know why. But any powerful state too close to China will find themselves in some sort of conflict. Hell even the Soviet Union couldn't get along with the Chinese despite both sides being Communist.

I would have thought India would run out of ammunition long before the Chinese ran out of men.

You could say the same for India.
