CHINA Worried about INDIAN ICBM AGNI 5 launch; wants to question INDIA in UNSC


China said on Tuesday it is willing to question India’s successful launch of Agni-V ballistic missile at the United Nations Security Council. It is one of the five permanent members of UNSC.”The UN Security Council has explicit regulations on whether India can develop ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons,” Hua Chunying, spokesperson of the Chinese foreign ministry said. She did not specify if Beijing would actually invoke these rules, perhaps hoping that Indian diplomats would react sharply. 

 The ministry disclosed its concern about reports in the Indian and Japanese media speculating that Agni-V is meant to counter China . “They need to ask the Indian side for their intention behind the move,” she said referring to the media. The Agni-V can reach most parts of Asia and Europe, which is what stirred media speculation that its purpose is to tackle challenges from China and Pakistan. The statement came on a day when China released a white paper revealing its ambitious plans to land on the moon in 2018, and launch a Mars probe in 2020. Beijing also claimed that it uses space sciences for peaceful purposes.

  “China is willing to work alongside regional countries including India to maintain the long-lasting peace, stability and prosperity of the region,” she said. China and India have reached an important consensus that the two countries are not rivals for competition but partners+ as two significant developing countries and emerging economies, she pointed out.Hua expressed the hope that “relevant media can report in an objective and sensible manner and do more things to contribute to the mutual trust between China and India and regional peace and stability”.

  The media is often targeted in proxy wars as diplomats do not wish to directly challenge their counterparts in the other country, observers said.”China always maintains that preserving the strategic balance and stability in South Asia is conducive to peace and prosperity of regional countries and beyond,” she said. Discussing the goals of Beijing’s space policy, the white paper said, “To explore the vast cosmos, develop the space industry and build China into a space power is a dream we pursue unremittingly”. China aims to use space for peaceful purposes and to guarantee national security, and to carry out cutting-edge scientific research, it said.

China on Tuesday unveiled its J-20 stealth fighter jet at its biggest air show which will have major implications for India as it is the first indigenously-made fifth-generation Chinese aircraft which Pakistan has shown interest in acquiring. Two J-20 aircraft which made waves in the Chinese media in the last few years flew at the Zhuhai city air show where the Pakistan Air Force is also taking part flying with its J-17 Thunder jets which are jointly manufactured with China. This is the first, public show of the J-20 warplane. Pakistan, the largest importer of Chinese arms has said earlier that it is in talks with China to buy the FC-31 - an export variant of the same aircraft. The FC-31 was briefly flown in the 2014 Zhuhai airshow. The stealth aircraft is regarded as major breakthrough for China which is otherwise mostly reliant on Russian aircraft including advanced versions of Sukhois. India is yet to make stealth aircraft which can penetrate through enemy radars. The J

Jammu is up in arms against the authorities. This time, it is not against discriminatory policies being pursued by the successive Kashmir-dominated and Valley-centric governments in Jammu & Kashmir since 1947, but against the settlement of Rohingyas from Myanmar in Jammu and Ladakh, both strategically vital for national security. According to the late Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the number of Rohingya Muslims living in different parts of Jammu city and around it, was 5,107 in 2010 (AINS, 10 October 2015).
