Increased Incursions by Chinese Troops

According to the Guwahati Sentinal, India has of late begun to respond to the uncertain Chinese intentions by enhancing its defence preparedness in the border State of Arunachal Pradesh. On June 15, it deployed four Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter jets in Tezpur in the eastern sector. A senior Indian Air Force officer, who wished to remain anonymous, said that a full squadron of this Russian-designed aircraft would be in place there in the near future. This apart, there are plans to deploy at least three AWACS to act as a ‘‘potent force-multiplier’’. India would soon add two more army divisions each to the existing 10 mountain divisions to meet future security challenges from China.

The India watchers in China who were hoping that a Left-dominated weak coalition government would come to power in New Delhi, also became unhappy when the UPA returned to power at the centre to provide India a stable government for the next five years. (ADNI)

IMO: 60 actual incursions this year and 270 actual incursions with 2,285 incidents last year suggests that the Han Chinese are still up to their usual tricks. The Chinese economy has avoided tanking by Gordon Brown style methods of effective government subsidy which would have left Nick Leeson of Barings in awe. Like Pakistan they would be best to sort out their own problems rather than being a simple annoyance to foreigners, be these Australian, Tibetan, Islamic or anyone other than a Han Chinese. We may wait for yet another 'Chinese revolution'.
