NEW DELHI: If India wanted a military confrontation, the People’s Liberation Army is obliged to do the Indian army suffer much more serious losses than in 1962, shouted the hawkish global times in an editorial about the latest military outbreak in Pangong Tso.
This followed a rare ‘poll’ conducted by the Chinese government spokesman last week stating that 90% of Chinese were in favor of retaliatory action against India. Starting from there, he said in the editorial that the Chinese people had shown their support for his government that “it will not seek to provoke India, but will not (sic) allow it to invade the territory of China.”
The Global Times appeared to be eager to act as it urged the government to take military action “when necessary.”
“China is several times stronger than India, and India is no match for China. We must smash any Indian illusion that it can deal with China by colluding with other powers, like the United States. The history of Asia and the world has told us that any force interested in opportunism tends to intimidate the weak while fearing the strong. India is a typical opportunist when it comes to the border issue, ”he said.
