The Chinese military establishment has gone on an overdrive with its anti-Indian rhetoric, calling it “arrogant” and warning it to stay away from a “path of confrontation”.
According to a Chinese defence think-tank, recent military exercises and re-positioning of troops in north Bengal was a kick-start reaction by “an arrogant” India.

Recent postings on the website of the China Institute of International Strategic Studies had an article titled ‘A Warning to the Indian Government: Don’t Be Evil!’ According to the article on www.chinaiiss.org, the present situation was just like in 1962, when India “misjudged the situation” and initiated a war “with the support of two superpowers”. India is on the “same old path of confrontation with China” at present, the article posted at the end of last month saidThe article further said that with an accelerated military position over the past few decades, India was looking beyond Pakistan “to realise its ambition of becoming a regional and global power”. Further, India considered China its biggest obstacle.
The portal further said that to deal with the “imaginary enemy”, India was stationing its troops along its borders, particularly the Siliguri Corridor and borders it shares with Nepal and Bhutan.
According to Indian officials, although in Mandarin, these commentaries are all published in journals endorsed by the PLA and reflect an alarming image of official Chinese thinking on strategic affairs pertaining to India.
"While the Beijing-based institute is usually headed by a party nominee, several senior members from the Chinese Communist Party are known to write under aliases on its website," said an official at the army headquarters in Delhi. "This particular article, reprinted by many other Chinese websites, is written by one Zhan Lue, who we suspect is a senior and noted party member under a pseudonym."
Indian defence officials also informed that Chinese military journals lifted the rhetoric ever since the Tibetan crisis precipitated and for the first time singled out India, instead of the US, for such severe criticism.
Group Captain R.K. Das, defence ministry spokesman in Kolkata, denied any military build-up or any forward posturing by India. He also found the rhetoric to be misguided. "We both are trying to improve relations for the past 40 years with various confidence-building measures. There is no chance of a probable confrontation with China," he said.

Radical Tibetan separatists masterminding violent incidents
The Dalai Lama is now urgently to contact the central government again. However, this urgency doesn't mean that the Dalai
clique wants some "substantial progress" in the relationship, because they know clearly their requirements, such as sending
international organizations to Tibet, and taking care of injured Tibetans, are totally excuses and propaganda.
The central government's attitude has been consistent: China will not accept the proposal of investigation by foreign agencies,
because Tibet issue is China's internal affair.
Besides, the fact of the May 14 incident is clear -- riot made by desperadoes and violent monks-so there is no need to seek
further investigations by international organizations.
Dalai's second requirement, treating injured Tibetans, is also ridiculous, as those who got injured were all police officers,
soldiers and innocent citizens, who were rushed to hospitals after the riot.
In contrast, most of the rioters fled the scene when police arrived. Though some of them were caught or surrendered, none of
them were physically hurt.
Even the Dalai clique could not give specific names of the so-called injured rioters. The Dalai clique, positioned on the side
of rioters, is not even qualified to talk about treating the wounded because it's them who caused death and injuries.
What kind of "substantial progress" they are demanding? Is it "protection of Tibetan culture" or "protection of Tibetan
religion"? Actually their claim is ridiculous.
Tibet has been part of China since the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century. So it is beyond all doubt that Tibetan culture is
weaved in the texture of Chinese culture. It is Chinese government's duty to protect Tibetan culture, which can be testified by
the money and gold that the central government have substantially invested on maintenance of Tibetan temples.
"Tibet Independence" is the premise of Dalai Lama's alleged "sabotage of Tibetan culture." As for "sabotage of Tibetan
religion," it is equally absurd. Chinese government will not intervene in religious issues if monks hadn't taken part in riots.
It is Chinese government's duty to put down commotion if riots take to street.
"Dalai Lama's return" constitutes in the alleged "substantial progress". But if Dalai Lama clique insists on separation,
Chinese people will not allow the separatists to come back to Chinese soil.
Dalai Lama clique actually knows clearly about the situation. They want to make noises in the international communities. They
also rely on "Tibetan Youth Congress" to make body bombings.
There are no difference between Dalai Lama clique and Tibetan Youth Congress(TYC) since Dalai Lama and the TYC leader Samdhong
belong to the same group.
We believe that Dalai Lama clique are masterminding another violent riots.
