China�s Economy is five times India�s GDP, it spends 6-8 times more on Defence
Dealing with China on security and economic issues is crucial for India but even if �we
are no pushover, we cannot get provocative,� asserted G Parthasarathy, Visiting Professor
at the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi.
China is surrounding India with huge economic investments to strengthen its presence.
Sri Lanka is in a debt trap after China funded mega infrastructure investments.
Sri Lanka has handed over Hambantota port in a debt-equity swap, which now poses a huge
threat to India; in Pakistan, Nepal and Africa too China is investing in large infrastructure
projects.
Pakistan could well go the way of Sri Lanka following the $50 billion China-Pakistan Economic
Corridor which runs partly through a stretch that India claims as its own.
Even Pakistan�s nuclear programme is essentially that of China�s, he said here on Saturday
at an interaction organised by the Chennai International Centre.
China�s economy is five times India�s GDP, it spends 6-8 times more on defence.
�We should understand the challenge of China but it is not wise to confront any neighbour.
For the next two decades we should focus on economic development,� he felt.
�Do what you have to do on security but avoid jingoism.
Display strength without showing off,� he said.
India too has its strengths on the international stage such as in ASEAN, links to Japan including
the trilateral India-Japan-US relations.
On the western frontier it is perhaps the only country with good relations with all
major players in the region including Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Egypt.
It has amicably settled maritime boundary issues with its neighbours.
But China�s claims on its boundaries are untenable under the international laws.
China recognises the need for economic interaction and understands it needs manufacturing facilities
here.
But our decision making processes need to be speeded up.
�We could lose a lot on the economic front because the Chinese move fast,� he said.
Sri Lanka relations ::
India has supported the northern and eastern parts of Sri Lanka with an unprecedented $15
billion aid.
It has provided Sri Lanka Tamils over 50,000 houses, 500 tractors, 10,000 bicycles, 90,000
farmer kits, 200 fishing boats and supported SSI units, established rail links and renovated
airports.
Indian media has to visit Jaffna to realise �what India has done for Sri Lanka.�
Unfortunately, Sri Lankan Tamil fishermen have a tale of woe caused by fishermen in
Tamil Nadu.
They lament that large trawlers from here disrupt their fishing grounds.
It is unforgivable that the Sri Lankan Navy killed a fisherman from here, he acknowledged.
Indian coastal states have a huge access to Bay of Bengal, these States should develop
their own deep sea fishing industry which the Centre is willing to support.
�What can be achieved by daily confrontation?� he asked.
The public has to be enlightened on this issue by the media, he felt.
