\nChandigarh (Press Ki Taquat Bureau) Given China\u2019s long-standing expansionist agenda, the Indian government should have a clear and well-defined policy on its hostile neighbour, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh said on Wednesday, warning that talks with Beijing alone would not lead anywhere.<\/p>\n
While he hoped India got the better of China in the latest skirmish at Naku La on January 20, Captain Amarinder, himself an ex-Army man and a military historian who has authored several books on Indian military, said India needs to improve and strengthen its military might. This incident, after Galwan Valley, shows that China has not backed off, and has no intention of backing off, from its expansionist policy.<\/p>\n
He further pointed out that India has not been able to take back from China what \u201cthey have seized from us through force.\u201d The need for a strong military in the face of such threat at the border cannot be over-emphasised, he added.<\/p>\n
Urging the Centre to think seriously on the joint threat from Pakistan and China, the Chief Minister said \u201cPakistan cannot move without China, they both support each other.\u201d In the circumstances, \u201cmere talks with China won\u2019t lead anywhere, we need to augment our military prowess,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
Stressing that China had always pursued an expansionist agenda, the Chief Minister said the neighbouring country had been concentrating on expansionism through development of their defence infrastructure. \u201cThey have already built capacities in cyber and rocket warfare to dominate the world and they claim that they will exceed America\u2019s defence production in the next 7 years,\u201d he noted, underlining the need for a cohesive and clear-cut strategy by New Delhi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
