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."

The Chinese respect only those who stand up to their bullying. Time for India to stand up.

In another 20 years, India will be where China is today. When that happens, no power can stop India from entering NSG or UNSC. Obviously the Chinese are rattled. Mind you, this is only the beginning, you'll see a lot more whining coming from China in the days to come. The CPC is not used to people standing up to it diktats, be it inside China or outside.

China needs to understand that it will take a lot more to make Pakistan equivalent to India. I am not saying its impossible but it will take a lot more time.

Indians have been roughly taught the idea of Self Defence . After years of Outside invasion , we have come to know about the importance of Defence and peaceful existence . Both go hand in hand .

China did not use Missiles back in 62' didn't they .. to be honest they still don't need Missiles to defeat India

True , but what i mean is that due to their Superior numbers and Firepower , China can Advance and halt in India but they will or can not Hold lands within India .. Same Logic we can Apply in Indo-Pak War, Indian can push into Pakistani territory because of numbers but can't Hold the land for longer ..

 

[SrNair]

Chinese would also see such developments in Vietnam ,if they try more gimmicks

 

[Hassan Guy]

Indian can push into Pakistani territory

No they can't.

Suppose a real war breaks out , India is pushed back by Chinese army . India will be forced to go Arial or Navy .
In both the cases , Chinese will be forced to Use Missiles .

On holding Land of other Countries , There will be immense pressure by International Communities , rejecting which will only affect those coveting others lands .
