Washington - Noting that India is increasingly getting concerned
about China's posture on its border, a top US intelligence official
today said that the Indian Army is strengthening itself for a
"limited conflict" with China.
"Despite public statements intended to downplay tensions between
India and China, we judge that India is increasingly concerned about
China's posture along their disputed border and Beijing's perceived
aggressive posture in the Indian Ocean and Asia-Pacific region,"
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in his prepared
testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
"The Indian Army believes a major Sino-Indian conflict is not
imminent, but the Indian military is strengthening its forces in
preparation to fight a limited conflict along the disputed border,
and is working to balance Chinese power projection in the Indian
Ocean," he said.
India, Clapper said, has expressed support for a strong US military
posture in East Asia and US engagement in Asia. He said China in 2011
appeared to temper the assertive behavior that characterised its
foreign policy the year before, but the internal and external drivers
of that behavior persist.
"Moreover, although Chinese leaders have affirmed their commitment to
a peaceful and pragmatic foreign policy - and especially to stable
relations with China's neighbours and the rest of the world - Beijing
may take actions contrary to that goal if it perceives that China's
sovereignty or national security is being seriously challenged," he
said.
Many of Beijing's military capability goals have now been realised,
resulting in impressive military might.
Other goals remain longer term, but the Chinese army is receiving the
funding and political support to transform it into a fully modern
force, capable of sustained operations in Asia and beyond, he said.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As everyone knows, a goon is a bully or thug who terrorizes or tries
to do away with opposition.
"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri) <KalluM...@gmail.com>
tries his best to be a bully -- telling others what and when to post,
where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem
Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah" <us...@this.com>, and issues
*death threats* to people), is priming himself for conditions such as
stroke and heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who displays
unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and the instigator who
posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com>
