NEW DELHI: China on Monday asked India to be “cautious” and exercise “restraint” over building infrastructure in Arunachal Pradesh, days after a bridge that links it to neighbouring Assam was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, NDTV said.
China claims Arunachal Pradesh as South Tibet. India has repeatedly rejected that stand, asserting that the border state is an integral part of India.
“We hope India adopts a cautious and restrained attitude on the issue before the final settlement of the border issue with China to jointly control disputes, safeguard peace and tranquillity in the border areas,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry told news agency IANS.
“China’s position on the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border areas is consistent and clear,” a statement in Chinese said.
Mr Modi last week opened the country’s longest bridge over the Brahmaputra river that connects Assam’s easternmost region with Arunachal Pradesh.
The 9.2 km Dhola-Sadiya bridge will cut the distance and travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh by 165 km and five hours.
The bridge, built to accommodate tanks, will ensure swift movement of Indian troops in Arunachal Pradesh which will bolster India’s defence along the China border.
Last month, China protested strongly to the Dalai Lama’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh. Beijing considers the 81-year old spiritual leader a separatist. India said the visit was to promote religious harmony and had no political colouring. The Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising that was crushed by Chinese troops, trekked through the Himalayas and entered India through Arunachal Pradesh.

India will now create a silicon valley in Guwahati the capital of NE states. So no need to worry about US Visa or jobs.
Even manufacturing of helicopters and tanks under tie up with Israel will be located near Arunachal Pradesh. So the need of 9.2 km bridge which will cut the distance and travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh by 165 km and five hours.
The bridge is for movement of heavy tanks which will bolster India's defence production and create employment for our engineers and others as also bolster GDP growth.

@Raja Farhat Abbas " You mean a dumping ground for high tec waste from western countries for recycling.!"
Sir ...to add to your fun, it is really a dumping ground creating jobs for the youth. And when such jobs are available there is desire to get educated and grow. Less dependence on agriculture.Whatever may be margin of the profit but there is net Forex earnings. We should reduce our dependence on Forex earnings by work force working in other countries... as far as possible.

Sirs ...to explain you simply this is from the point of view of economic growth of NE States , connectivity to other states and Bangladesh and Nepsl and defence strategy. Nothing that complicated as you find it to comprehend.
And China is objecting after completion of the bridge and highway which took years to complete !!!! This is rather complicated Sir !!

@Ritesh I suppose it is very similar to kashmir. All these are disputed territories which india has not right but keeps illegal occupation. Chinese will take it back one day as they did in case of Hong Kong. It is just a matter of time. Indians also took over muslim states of hyderabad, Junagarh, kashmir and many others by force.

Modi is out to spoil relations with China and Pakistan which will bring doomsday for India in future. Even in Germany , today he openly objected to China's OBOR CPEC when China's top Ministers are there precisely for the same.
His hatred towards Pakistan is seen in every utterances
while he held brief on behalf of Afghanistan there.
Press Release says " Peace in Afghanistan and the importance of an the "Afghan-led and owned reconciliation and development process" was touched upon, with PM Modi expressing appreciation over the German presence in Afghanistan and calling for a consolidation of efforts in the country "

To all the Indians. Why does India have border disputes with all her neighbours?
BTW don't get too cocky with China. If China really wanted to it can economically and militarily choke India from all directions. Comparing Arunachal Pradesh with Kashmir is like comparing apples and oranges. CPEC is going thru Pakistan side of Kashmir along the same Karakorum highway built 3 decades back and India had no issues back then. Your dispute in Kashmir is with Pakistan but your dispute in Arunachal Pradesh is directly with China so you need to tread carefully.

@Jingalaala Chinese don't issue warnings just for the sake of it. They are very cautious about the international diplomacy and are fiercely aggressive when it comes to Tibet. Even US does not tread the dragon in Tibet. Indians can high five each other now but wait and see. China has practically surrounded India from Gwadar port to Nepal and Bangladesh. If China really wanted to put a choke hold India won't be able to do squat.

Does India knows where that line is? It may be right in the middle of that bridge... who knows but it is great fun to know Indian nervousness and how they think deep down about China in awe and fear !!
