'China will not sit still if India goes too far': state-run daily responds to Indian missile test
Dawn.com

China's state-run daily Global Times in an editorial titled 'India needs to cool its missile fever' admonished New Delhi on Monday for 'breaking' United Nations "limits on its development of nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missile" following a missile test by India.
The successful test of the Agni-IV intercontinental nuclear-capable ballistic missile, which has a strike range of 4,000 kilometres, had been lauded by Indian media for its ability to "cover entire China" and its value as a deterrence against possible Chinese aggression.
The Global Times editorial said that Pakistan should have "those privileges in nuclear development that India has" and warned Western countries which "accept India as a nuclear country and are indifferent to the nuclear race between India and Pakistan" that Beijing will not "stand out and stick rigidly to those nuclear rules as necessary".
The Global Times said that if the UN Security Council has no objection to India producing intercontinental ballistic missiles "which can cover the whole world... let it be". However, it warns, "the range of Pakistan's nuclear missiles will also see an increase."
Although China is "sincere in developing friendly ties with India", Global Times cautions that Beijing "will not sit still if India goes too far".
The Chinese daily was quick to clarify that Beijing does not feel threatened by India's development and does not consider it a rival in the long run.
"It is simply believed that currently there is a vast disparity in power between the two countries and India knows what it would mean if it poses a nuclear threat to China. The best choice for Beijing and New Delhi is to build rapport."
The editorial continues to say that Delhi should understand "it does little good to itself" if China-India relations are "ruined by any geopolitical tricks".
The Global Times cautioned the Chinese against being "led astray by India's extreme words online about its deterrence ability against China. There are similar rhetorics targeting India in China's cyber world ... These aggressive online rhetorics count for little."

Regarding military hardware, being the second largest global buyer of arms and ammunition, India is the only country in the whole world to stockpile the largest arsenals of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, whereas more than 80 percent of its hapless and helpless masses are forced to live under the poverty line of earning less than $4.00 per day set by the U.N.

As an Indian, I am saddened that all our nations should be spending precious resources on arms and weapons.

Wrong! China does not have 1000s of warheads.
But if you think it’s in your interest to build warheads then go ahead and if China thinks it’s in its best interest not to let you build them then let them go ahead.
Might is right! a lesson India proudly teaches its smaller neighbors shall prevail...

"The Global Times said that if the UN Security Council has no objection to India producing intercontinental ballistic missiles "which can cover the whole world... let it be". However, it warns, "the range of Pakistan's nuclear missiles will also see an increase."
I hope Indian masses will take notice and realize that their government's war mongering is destabilizing the world. With Modi, Trump, Netanyahu, Erdogan and Iranian theocracy we are living in a very dangerous time.
