BEIJING: The situation in the India-China border is not merely peaceful and stable, it is also favorable for the purpose of resolving the border
dispute once for all time, the Chinese foreign ministry told TNN on Tuesday.
China also described reports of cross-border firing and other skirmishes as inaccurate information.
The China-India relationship is currently enjoying stable developments, and the mutual trust between two sides is keeping growing. Therefore, we are facing a favorable situation in solving the border issue, the foreign ministry said in reply to questions sent by TNN.
The two sides should continue to work for creating a good atmosphere for the solution of (the) issue through negotiations, and avoid taking actions to make the situation become complicated, the ministry said.
But it avoided a direct reply to a one of TNNs questions: What is China doing to reassure India that it has no military ambitions on Arunachal Pradesh and other places along the border?
Sources in the Indian foreign ministry said Beijing was anxious about the uproar in the Indian media as it will make it all the more difficult for the two sides to enter into an amicable settlement. They do not think the central government in Beijing would have sent instructions to armed forces to create trouble on the border.
The Chinese foreign ministrys view is that the problem has to do with improper reporting by the Indian media and not on the ground situation on the border.
Enough of that. I have replied to this question earlier, Jiang Yu, the Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman, said when a reporter asked about Indian reports about firing from the Chinese side of the border. Some Indian media has been releasing inaccurate information. I wonder what their purpose is," she said.
In its written reply, the ministry said China has devoted itself to maintaining peace and tranquility of the border area together with the Indian side besides strictly adhering to the Agreement on the Maintenance of Peace and Tranquility along the Line of Actual Control in the China-India Border Areas in 1993 and the Agreement on Confidence Building Measures in the Military Field Along the Line of Actual Control in the China-India Border Areas signed in 1996.
We do not see India as a rival and an enemy. We hope India will not see China in that light, Sun Weidong, the deputy director general in the Asian department of the ministry asked in a rare meeting with Indian journalists and diplomats to discuss the subject. Chinas growing economic strength will not make it a bully. Beijing has no designs on the territory of any country, he said.
Strategic and political analysts in Beijing say they are aghast at what they see as an aggressive anti-China campaign by the Indian media.
There has been no usual development on the border. Why is the Indian media indulging in rumor mongering? Chen Yongcheng, a former diplomat and Council Member of the China Foundation of International Studies, said.
A senior journalist with the Peoples Daily said the Indian media should be careful not to create a situation in which there will be repercussions from the Chinese side. What happens if we start talking about incursions from the Indian side? Such unfounded reports are not going to help anyone, he said.
Is this a good relationship or a bad one? I believe it is a good relationship, and went on to explain that the relationship had a global and strategic importance because it involved 2.5 billion people, Sun said

But it is not about to start pushing things on the borders, nibbling territory and risking skirmishes as some of the crude and militaristic scare-mongering in some of our media suggests.
We have to act like grown-ups, not think border or threat the moment somebody mentions China. We cannot exorcise the demon unless we come to terms with the defeat of 1962. One reason we have brought up two-and-a-half generations of Indians on the fear of China is that we have avoided a fair appraisal and understanding of 1962. The greater the inclination on the part of a nation, a family or even an individual to hide from an unhappy truth, rather than look it in the eye, the greater the fear that it will return. We, the people of India, need an honest process of truth and reconciliation with 1962 and there is no better way of starting that than making the report of the Henderson Brooks commission, which probed that debacle, public. Its only when you face up to the truth that you can learn to deal with it, particularly when the fears that haunt you lurk in your mind rather than on your borders. 
a point. that dude really need to spend more time on his study rather than day dreaming of a war. 
P.S. You can change your name, but you can never
