‘If war starts, India will have no chance of winning’: China threatens despite Rajnath Singh’s warning

• The meeting between Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh and Wei Fenghe on Friday lasted for 2 hours and 20 minutes
• Singh blamed the Chinese People’s Liberation Army for its aggressive behaviour along the LAC and trying to ruthlessly transgress into Indian territory
• The editorial also claimed that Indian policies on border issues are getting dictated by public opinion and nationalism

“We must remind the Indian side that China’s national strength, including its military strength, is much stronger than India’s. Although China and India are both great powers, when it comes to the ultimate competition of combat capability, the Indian side will lose. If a border war starts, India will have no chance of winning,” China said in an editorial on its mouthpiece  Global Times  on Saturday,

“We hope that the defence ministers’ meeting will be a turning point for the two countries to come back to the consensus of the leaders’ meeting. Each side will make its due effort to reduce tensions on the border,” the editorial further said

The editorial preposterously states that Indian policies on border issues are getting dictated by public opinion and nationalism.

Indian public opinion is too deeply and widely involved in border issues. The Indian troop has been obviously kidnapped by domestic nationalism. Therefore, in addition to the joint control of the border dispute between China and India, India should also manage public opinion and nationalism, and make the best choice for its country and its people. The problem now is that India has drawn an aggressive line on the border issue, misinterpreting China’s desire to maintain peace and stability on the border as a weakness that can be exploited by threatening to wage a border war ‘at any cost’,” the editorial claimed.
