China Doesn't Perceive Indian Air Force as Its Rival Or Engage in Arms Race, Say Chinese Experts

Accorting to a recent article on Global Times, Chinese experts have downplayed concerns raised by the Indian Air Force regarding China's military advancements, asserting that India should not view China as a rival in its military development.

This response comes after Indian Air Chief Marshal AP Singh highlighted China's growing technological and production capabilities in the lead-up to Indian Air Force Day.

Singh stated that China is "steadily eroding" India's air combat advantage by deploying more aircraft along the border, prompting India to upgrade its airbases and expedite the delivery of indigenous Tejas fighters. He also emphasized the need for greater private sector involvement in Indian defence production.

Adding to the tension, Indian Air Force conducted an exercise showcasing its ability to neutralize high-altitude surveillance balloons, similar to those used by China. This exercise follows growing apprehension about Chinese surveillance activities.

However, Chinese military experts have dismissed these concerns, suggesting that the Indian Air Force is "sensationalizing" China's national defence development to secure more funding and pressure domestic defence industries.

They point to challenges faced by India's indigenous defence projects, including lengthy development cycles and high costs.

Experts emphasize that the situation along the China-India border remains stable and that such rhetoric is not conducive to improving bilateral relations.

They highlight the recent 31st Meeting of Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on China-India Border Affairs, where both sides committed to resolving the border situation.

While acknowledging India's right to develop its national defence, Chinese observers stress that this should not be driven by viewing China as an adversary. They reiterate that China has no intention of engaging in an arms race with India.

India is nowhere near of PLAAF until IAF have air assets like F-35A, F-15EX-II, F-36, NGAD, B-21, AMCA, Rafale F-5 and GHATAK UCAVs !

They want india to drop its guard, and become friends. Hindi cheeni bhai bhai. When time is right,they will backstab. Just like they did in 1962.

 

[Bhupesh Desai]

We cannot trust 2 neighbors Pakistan and China for now.

China is clearly a military rival. China has captured large tracks of Indian land. China is having Hindu holy places under illegal occupation such as kailash mansarovar, Akshai Chin and almost all of the important Buddhist sites in Tibet.

we Indian must be always ready to take back our land from the illegal occupation of China.

 

[kumar]

Actually China is not in outright war with India.
It is engaged only in salami slicing.

 

[Harsh]

Go ahead, make my day! China can easily prove that it is not in military competition by vacating Tibet and withdrawing from Aksai Chin.

 

[ASHOK CARROL]

At present with a 4 billion $ GDP India is constrained and focused on defense against two hostile neighbors and a potential internal revolt by the Muslim population living within India but ungrateful and subservient to Pakistan .By 2032-24 when economy increases to 10 trillion a complete overhaul of the nations security needs need to be reviewed with expansion for regional and Global capability and build up of Capacities which will automatically subsume the internal and western threats .For that to happen govt needs to plan bigger and better budgets for education health , sanitation housing infrastructure and reduce unwanted subsidies and freebees given.

 

[Kumar Srinivasan]

An average Indian does not trust China . This includes now a days even Chinese products

 

[BCharlie]

We cannot trust 2 neighbors Pakistan and China for now.

I agree.. lets attack both of them & destroy them.. occupy Pakistan & south of China incl Tibet ; We are most powerful with America supporting us and very much behind us;

 

[NSR]

Enemy #1 indeed.

Criminal china not only invaded India and seized its Aksai Hind and other lands but it is still trying to do salami slicings year after year.
china even mover 50,000 pla soldiers to the frontlines and keeping them during bitter/harsh winters.

What else the world needs to qualify china as #1 enemy?
Never and ever trust criminal chinese ccp and its depraved pla.

 

[Banjo Strings]

Never trust the Chinese, or pakis for that matter

 

[Bhishma]

See I told you. They are good people. They conducted that subsonic missile shooting exercise to prevent against Botswana troops invading them from Ladakh.

 

[Tls Mani]

Criminal communists whom their own countrymen hate should not lecture others. What's their contribution in UN & other world forums. Spying industrial espionage fake products of reverse engg etc are their traits.Never believe them

 

[Bard of Anarchy]

Never trust the Chinese, or pakis for that matter

Add amerikans to that list.

 

[Rajesh]

China is our enemy and that can't change ans some point of time there will be a war. But we should also be wary of the cancer which is the root cause of all these ie amerika so we don't get stabbed on the back which is what they r known for.

 

[UKumar]

Go ahead, make my day! China can easily prove that it is not in military competition by vacating Tibet and withdrawing from Aksai Chin.

Do not take it seriously, Chinese will tell all stories and they definitely will back stab at right time, so these statement and all a kind of gimmick

 

[Muthukumar Ponnambalam]

India's perception wasn't formed just out of thin air but from the backstabbing performance of Chinese.

The ones is on you Chinese to change that. So, yo Global Times, the mouthpiece, advise your master to prove it on the ground that you're a "friendly neighbor" instead of behaving and blabbering like a mentally retarded and a lunatic.
