India not paranoid over China: Antony

[chinapakistan]

NEW DELHI: Making it clear that India is not paranoid over China, defence minister A K Antony on Wednesday said that Sino-Indian bilateral relations were improving and getting better, despite the border dispute.

"Nothing like that," was Antony's response to reporters' queries if the government was paranoid over China and if there was any problem or bad feeling about Beijing.

The government has taken a conscious policy decision to maintain "very cordial and friendly" relations with all the neighbours, he said while interacting with the media after inaugurating a conference of defence accounts controllers in New Delhi.

"In this context, we are trying to improve our relations with all our neighbouring countries and this includes China also. All are reciprocating well," he said.

Noting that Sino-Indian border disputes still existed, the defence minister said the two governments had evolved mechanisms to talk about these disputes.

"Despite these disputes, our relations are improving (with China) in all aspects. China is today our largest trading partner. Our cultural relations are improving.

"Regarding my ministry, disputes are there, but military relations are improving," he said citing the example of two Sino-Indian army exercises held in the last three years and the visit of defence secretary Pradeep Kumar to China earlier this year.

"Our relations with China is improving and it is comparatively better and the border is peaceful," he said.

BEIJING: India's paranoid attitude towards Chinese investment, including import of telecom equipment made by Huawei Technologies, will damage the India-China relationship and dissipate the Copenhagen spirit of friendship that evolved during the climate change conference last year, environment and forest minister Jairam Ramesh said on Saturday.

"If we continue to be paranoid about Chinese investment in India, we are not going to be able to derive the full benefits of the Copenhagen spirit," Ramesh told Indian journalists after attending a meeting of environment ministers from across the globe. "The point is that Huawei is creating assets in India, it is hiring Indian professionals, over 80% of its employees are Indians," he said.

Ramesh made these remarks in the face of resistance from the home ministry and the security establishment, who feel that the use of Huawei-manufactured equipment in India's telecommunications sector will make the country vulnerable to security challenges.
"Both the PM and the NSA were gung-ho about preserving the Copenhagen spirit of friendship with China, but it was the home ministry that put up roadblocks with its suspicious attitude," he said. "What we preach to Pakistan and Sri Lanka, we are not ready to accept the logic of the same argument when it comes to buying from China," Ramesh said while referring to New Delhi's insistence that Islamabad and Colombo increase their purchases from India.
