Quoting from the article written by a prominent Security Analyst from Hong Kong, who mentions China is developing its capability to fight five important conflicts in the next 30-35 years that includes annexation of Taiwan, occupying Spratly Islands, annex south Tibet that is Arunachal Pradesh from India, get hold of Senkaku Islands from Japan and recover large territories in Russia and Mongolia, Raha said, “I hope it is not true, but there are doubts whether the rise of China is going to be peaceful or not.”
“But we have no option but be prepared to meet such a challenge in the near future,” he added. Raha said Afghanistan and Pakistan region is also an issue.
“We all know that Pakistan has been a fountainhead of terror though it is part of global qar on terrorism, but it is also encouraging terrorist activities and today with the withdrawal of American and western forces from Afghanistan, I think the situation is going to be very very delicate in terms of sub conventional threats to India.”
He said “the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) which has grown with strength in Iraq and Syria and in the Middle East is going to be another challenge to the world.
“So the situation in our neighbourhood, specially Middle East and along the western borders, is very delicate and this challenge has to be dealt with proper planning and induction of our forces, specially Aerospace power,” he added.
