BEIJING, Sep 8 (INP) China has urged India to follow the path of history, by doing and speaking more about things that help develop Sino-Indian relations after the Indian army chief spoke of a "two-front war." "I'm not sure whether his speech was authorized, and whether his remarks were his own or reflect the Indian government's stance," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said at a press conference on Thursday, adding that even the Indian media considered his remarks shocking. He made the comments in response to the Indian army chief's Wednesday remarks that India shall be prepared for a two-front war against China and Pakistan. "The army chief sees China as an enemy. It's a strategic misjudgment," Qian said. "For the Indian army, China is its competitor, not Pakistan. It wants to seek revenge for its defeat in 1962," Zhao Gancheng, director of the Center for Asia-Pacific Studies at the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, told the Global Times. "It's nonsense to call it a 'two-front war,'" Qian said. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) would overwhelmingly defeat the Indian army. China would prevent Pakistan from getting involved since we can deal with it ourselves, Qian explained. Also, Pakistan would not provoke war against India, Zhao said. Rawat probably wanted to highlight the Indian army's importance following the Doklam standoff. But India's policy won't necessarily change. Its army has limited influence on diplomacy, Zhao said. But Qian also warned that India has been preparing for a "two-front war." "India continues to prepare itself, which includes the purchase of stealth fighters from the US and troop deployment." INP/AH
