Can India Contain China? Options

[Saeed Khan]

The master of Indians is Chankiya (Kutaliya 200 B.C. author of Akstrashatra). He is the source of their devilish wisdom – the pathfinder of Hindus’ psyche and giver of their code of life. His four pillars of wisdom were:

1) Never let lust for power and conquest of other country die.

2) All neighbor states must be treated as enemies.

3) Seek friendship and co-operation of all other states beyond your neighbors.

4) Think not of peace even if the whole world wants it … lip service to peace and good neighborliness should continue as a camouflage.

Their foreign policy today exactly mirrors these commandments of their ancient master.

India Quietly Expands Ties With Mongolia:

Thursday August 09, 2007: India is quietly expanding its defence and security links with Mongolia in a bid to monitor China's space and military activities in the region.

Furthering these links presently are four Indian Army colonels attending the 10-day Khaan Quest 2007 command post exercise (CPX) in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar.

Co-hosted by Mongolia and the US, the meet ends Aug 10 and is to be followed by the third joint Mongolian-Indian military exercise - Nomadic Elephant - at the Five Hills Training Centre, 65 km west of Ulaanbaatar, later in the year, defence sources said.

The two armies had earlier carried out joint peace-keeping manoeuvres in Mongolia in October 2004, followed a year later by a second round of bilateral exercises at the Counter-Insurgency Jungle Warfare School (CIJWS) at Vairangte in India's Mizoram state bordering Myanmar.

The CIJWS manoeuvres were attended by visiting Mongolian Defence Minister T.S. Sharavdorj, whose arrival celebrated 50 years of bilateral diplomatic relations between New Delhi and Ulaanbaatar.

These have steadily proliferated since the late 1990s as part of New Delhi's 'Look East' policy and strategy to build strategic ties with China's neighbours.

India was the first non-socialist country to recognize Mongolia, which opened its embassy in New Delhi in 1956. India's diplomatic mission in Mongolia commenced 15 years later in 1971.

During Sharaddorj's visit, the two sides constituted a Joint Defence Working Group that succeeded the 2001 Agreement on Defence Cooperation, which included joint exercises and reciprocal visits by military officers.

Building on the existing goodwill and recent diplomatic and security initiatives, India plans on expanding and upgrading its 'listening posts' in Mongolia erected after the January 2004 cooperation protocol between its Department of Space and the Mongolian Ministry of Infrastructure.

The agreement provides an umbrella for cooperation in space science,technology and undefined applications.

It also covers studies related to satellite communication, satellite-related remote sensing and satellite meteorology. Also included in the protocol are satellite ground stations and satellite mission management, training facilities and exchange of scientists.

As an adjunct to this agreement, official sources said India is also believed to be considering erecting Early Warning (EW) radar at undisclosed locations in Mongolia with the capability of monitoring Chinese missile tests in the vast surrounding desert region as well as Beijing's' expanding space programme.

Alongside, New Delhi has plans to enlarge its Ulaanbaatar embassy by stationing additional security services and military personnel in Mongolia to manage these proposed assets, official sources said.

Meanwhile, around 240 Service members from 15 countries are attending the Khaan Quest 2007 CPX, co-financed by the Global Peace Operations Initiative of the US State Department and the Mongolian government, focusing on multinational peace support operations.

Other than India the participants include Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Nepal, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Tonga.

UN representatives, the International Committee of the Red Cross and USAID are also present.

Taking place simultaneously at the Five Hills Training Centre is the fortnight-long field training exercise (FTX) involving some 1,000 military personnel drawn from five countries in addition to hosts Mongolia and the US.

These include Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, South Korea and Sri Lanka, all of whom have fielded personnel.

China and Russia, though invited, have only deployed observers for FTX that aims at developing core competencies for peace operations with emphasis on improving the multinational speed of response to situations, mission effectiveness and interoperability.

Meanwhile, furthering its fledgling China 'containment' strategy, India signed a defence agreement with Vietnam in July as a possible prelude to New Delhi selling weapons to Hanoi.

The defence agreement concluded during Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung's New Delhi visit built upon similar earlier agreements in 2000 that stressed greater military co-operation, sale of advanced light helicopters and assistance in overhauling and providing spares to Hanoi's ageing MiG series fighter aircraft.

This also provided a framework under which Vietnamese officers would train the Indian Army in jungle warfare and counter-insurgency operations. It also provided for bilateral co-operation between India's Coast Guard and the Vietnamese Sea Police in combating piracy.

Reciprocal visits by senior military officers, regular exchange of intelligence and a periodic dialogue between the Indian and Vietnamese defence ministers were also included in the agreement.

Proposals to supply Hanoi India's locally developed SSM Prithvi missiles were also reportedly discussed besides the possibility of training Vietnamese nuclear scientists in Indian atomic establishments. But little seems to have emerged from these discussions.

Military co-operation, however, picked up apace.

Two Indian Navy warships visited Vietnam this year and in 2005 the Indian Navy ferried 150 tonnes of spares to Hanoi for its Russian Petya and OSA-II class missile boats.

Indian officials view the burgeoning military ties with China's neighbours as New Delhi's attempts to strengthen security relations with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) to counter Bejing's growing regional military presence.

These moves are also reciprocated, albeit subtly, by several ASEAN states.

'Through these alliances India is mirroring China's game plan of befriending neighbours in order to develop strategic leverage,' former Lt. Gen. V.K. Kapoor said.

China, he said, had military alliances not only with Pakistan, Myanmar and Bangladesh but was swiftly enhancing defence ties with Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and even the Maldives.

'India's military ties with Mongolia and Vietnam are still at a fledgling stage and need consolidation,' Gen. Kapoor added.

Tajiks Play Down India Base Reports:

Despite repeated denials, reports that Delhi wants an outpost in Central Asia continue to surface

Wednesday August 08, 2007: Persistent rumours that India is seeking a military foothold in Tajikistan refuse to go away despite attempts by officials to dismiss the story. Whether or not negotiations have taken place, analysts interviewed by IWPR believe the Tajik government will not agree for fear of upsetting powerful regional neighbours.

Once a backwater of the Soviet Union, Tajikistan emerged as a key strategic location in late 2001, when the French air force was allowed to station some planes there to support the United States-led operation in neighbouring Afghanistan.

The reports centre on India’s role in refurbishing the Aini airstrip, a long disused military facility some 15 kilometres southwest of Dushanbe. The site was abandoned in 1985 as the Soviet military wound up its ill-fated occupation of Afghanistan. The Indians began repairing the airstrip and building new hangars in 2002, and the site is now said to be ready for use.

The big question is who will get to use it. As well as Tajikistan’s major partner Russia, there has been talk of Indian or French air forces stationing planes at the base.

The long-running story that Delhi had designs on the airfield was revitalised by a July 17 report in the Times of India saying that an Indian air force squadron of multipurpose military helicopters plus a number of training planes would be located at Aini.

According to the paper’s unnamed defence sources, this could happen by the end of the year, and it would only be the start – ultimately, India would seek to station its Russian-made MiG-29 fighter jets at the base. "It may be just a military outpost at the moment but will develop into a full-fledged base in the future," said the source.

The source said India was seeking “a larger strategic imprint” in Central Asia for political and economic reasons. Such a presence would allow it to keep an eye on long-term rival Pakistan as well as on Afghanistan, a country where the competition between Islamabad and Delhi has often been played out. The Times of India story even suggested that the base could be used as a launch-pad for Indian special forces operations.

The paper pointed out that the defence ministry in Delhi was denying any plans to establish a military base at Aini. This was reiterated officials in Tajikistan.

Tajik foreign minister Hamrokhon Zarifi responded a day after the Times of India report came out. “India is indeed helping to reconstruct the Aini aerodrome, but that does not mean that it is opening a military base,” he said at a press conference on July 18. “No one is holding talks on opening the base.”

Major-General Maruf Hasanov, head of the international relations at the Tajik defence ministry, pointed out that the two governments had not even signed a treaty on defence cooperation, and that the 2002 agreement on the refurbishment of the Aini base made no provision for its subsequent use by the Indian military.

Although the defence ministry insists no talks have taken place, let decisions made, an IWPR source in the ministry said discussions were taking place with the regard to setting up a training centre at Aini, where Indian pilots would teach their Tajik colleagues.

Two days later, Tajik government officials had to deal with another report, this time that French and Russian combat planes currently stationed at Dushanbe’s civilian airport were to redeploy to Aini.

Russia, the key superpower in Central Asia, currently has four Sukhoi-29 fighters and two transport helicopters at the airport as part of a substantial military presence in Tajikistan that has continued since Soviet times.

The French presence consists of three Mirage 2000s and three of the latest Rafale fighters, as well as two military transports. Although they are part of the NATO mission operating in Afghanistan, their presence has not been particularly controversial, as the French are not viewed as having the same kind of regional ambitions as the Americans.

Speaking on July 20, Firuz Hamroev, the deputy director of Tajik Air, the national civilian airline, said the planes were to be moved because they were blocking the tarmac at Dushanbe airport.

The Tajik defence ministry issued a strong rebuff on July 27, saying, “Recently, there have been frequent reports in the media that Russia, Indian and French air units are to be stationed at the Hissar [Aini] airfield. At present, the question of any foreign force using the airfield is not being discussed at all.”

Delhi’s interest in Tajikistan dates back to the Central Asian state’s emergence from the ruins of the Soviet Union in 2001, and is connected in part with India’s historical support for political factions in northern Afghanistan, as a counter to the southern Pashtun areas which have a closer connection with Pakistan, geographically and otherwise.

“India is worried that if Afghanistan falls into the hands of the pro-Pakistani Taleban, then Pakistan’s sphere of influence would extend right up to the (Afghan) border with Tajikistan,” Tajik political analyst Parviz Mullojanov told IWPR.

Mullojanov said the very fact that the Aini story has resurfaced in the media time and again suggests that the Tajik and Indian authorities have indeed been holding talks for some years now. In 2005, the then Russian defence minister Sergei Ivanov was reported as saying Moscow and Dushanbe were discussing shared use of Aini with India.

Analyst Asliddin Jumaev says such an arrangement would in any case be impossible without Moscow’s consent. “If India is able to use the military base at Aini, it will only be in conjunction with Russia,” he said.

However, the consensus among the Tajikistan-based analysts interviewed by IWPR was that Delhi’s plan to create a Central Asian outpost would be blocked by Moscow. Delhi and Moscow have historically been on good terms, but inviting the Indians into an area that Russia views as its own sphere of influence would be another matter.

According to Mullojanov, Russia would not welcome an outsider setting up shop in the region.

Asliddin Jumaev, an independent analyst, added that the arrangement would need to be approved by the two regional security groupings of which Tajikistan is a member, the Collective Security Treaty organisation consisting of several former Soviet states, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, SCO, which brings together Russia, China and four Central Asian republics. Moscow’s influence figures large in both structures.

In addition, the Tajiks also have to reckon with the interests of Pakistan, their next-door neighbour but one.

Both Islamabad and Delhi are interested in investing in Tajikistan, most of all in the copious hydroelectricity this mountainous country is capable of generating, and of which they are both in need.

Mullojanov believes this gives the Pakistanis considerable influence. “As a potential investor in various major projects, Pakistan could obstruct the progress of agreements on the military base,” he said.

Another external power, the United States, has the use of a military airbase in Kyrgyzstan

Analysts also noted that the United States, whose financial support is important to Tajikistan, might not be happy to see the a shift in the broader regional power-balance caused by the emergence of an Indian presence north of the Khyber Pass.

China in mind, India to boost Eastern air power:

Kolkata, Wednesday August 08, 2007: India will embark on a major effort soon to boost air power on the eastern front, a top military commander said on Wednesday, adding new fighter jets among others, in an apparent move to guard against China.

The plans include moving two squadrons or 36 state-of-the-art Russian-built Sukhoi-30 aircraft to an air base in the east, adding advanced helicopters, strengthening runways and upgrading other air force facilities.

"The perception of east India has changed and our defences are at their peak to thwart any misadventure now, especially after what happened in 1962," Air Marshal P.K. Barbora told Reuters, referring to India's border war with China.

But apparently sensitive to the recent warmth in ties between the Asian giants, Barbora added that "we are not saying we are beefing up in the east to counter China".

"Rather, we are sending a strong message to everyone that we are ready for any misadventure from all corners," the head of India's Eastern Air Command said in a telephone interview from his base in the northeastern town of Shillong.

The world's two most populous nations fought a brief but brutal war over their 3,500-km Himalayan border in 1962, and both sides claim the other is occupying big but largely uninhabited chunks of their territory.

Although they have signed a treaty to maintain "peace and tranquility" along the disputed frontier and agreed to find a political solution to the row, talks have hardly made progress even as their business ties boom.

India blames the lack of progress on China's claim over the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, in particular over its Buddhist enclave of Tawang. New Delhi says it cannot part with populated areas to settle the border dispute.

"No conflict, only tension"

Traditionally, India's military might has been largely focused on countering the threat from Pakistan on the western front as the two countries have gone to war three times in the last 60 years and have come close to fighting a few more.

But with an India-Pakistan ceasefire holding since 2003, and New Delhi on a spree to modernise its largely Soviet-era military, attention is now being turned to plug the weak links in the east, defence analysts say.

Besides deploying Sukhois at the northeastern air base of Tezpur later this year, the Indian air force would also add new combat helicopters and station some of the 126 fighter jets it is due to float bids to buy, in the east, Barbora said.

The length of the runway at the base in Kalaikunda in West Bengal would be increased, the air marshal said, adding that India had several "advanced landing ground" strips in mountainous Arunachal Pradesh and they were in good shape.

"In terms of numbers, we cannot match China as their economy is growing rapidly than ours," Barbora said.

"But if we talk about specifics in the northeast, we have a deterrent force available and will be well-prepared to cater to any misadventure with the force-multipliers in place."

"Tension will remain with China on the issue of the boundary," he said. "But we do not expect a conflict, only minor pinpricks."

My figure is based on CIA Fact book's 2006 estimate.

As of 2006, German GDP is 2.8 Trillion, China GDP is 2.5 Trillion. So, If China has Crossed German GDP in 2007, China's Economy should be near to 3 Trillion. India's GDP also crossed 1 trillion Mark in 2007. SO, China's GDP is not 4 times of India. What you told is Wrong. As i told before, India is very much in Catching Distance.
