In a response to a question on Pakistan- China projects in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), the official spokesperson of the government said: “We have seen the Xinhua report quoting the President of China as stating that China will continue to engage in projects with Pakistan inside Pakistan Occupied Kashmir."
"Pakistan has been in illegal occupation of parts of the Indian State of Jammu & Kashmir since 1947. The Chinese side is fully aware of India's position and our concerns about Chinese activities in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir."
"We hope that the Chinese side will take a long term view of the India-China relations, and cease such activities in areas illegally occupied by Pakistan.”
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday reiterated that the State of Arunachal Pradesh is an integral and inalienable part of India.
The statement issued by a spokesman of the ministry shortly after China expressed "strong" dissastisfaction over Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's recent visit to Arunachal Pradesh for electioneering.
"The State of Arunachal Pradesh is an integral and inalienable part of India. The people of Arunachal Pradesh are citizens of India. They are proud participants in the mainstream of India's vibrant democracy. The Chinese side is well aware of this position of the Government of India," said the official spokesperson.
"It is well established practice in our democratic system that our leaders visit States where elections to Parliament and to the State Assemblies are taking place. The Government of India is deeply committed to ensuring the welfare of its own citizens across the length and breadth of our country," the official spokesperson added.
Expressing disappointment over the statement made by the official spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the official spokesperson said: "India and China have jointly agreed that the outstanding boundary question will be discussed by the special representatives appointed by the two Governments. We, therefore, express our disappointment and concern over the statement made by the official spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, since this does not help the process of ongoing negotiations between the two Governments on the boundary question."
"India is committed to resolving outstanding differences with China in a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable manner, while ensuring that such differences are not allowed to affect the positive development of bilateral relations. We hope that the Chinese side will similarly abide by this understanding," the official spokesperson added.
On the same day, China's Ambassador to India Zhang Yang met officials of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) shortly after his government expressed ‘strong’ dissastisfaction over Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Arunachal Pradesh during electioneering.
Earlier, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu had said: "We demand the Indian side address China's serious concerns and not trigger disturbance in the disputed region so as to facilitate the healthy development of China-India relations."
"China is strongly dissatisfied with the visit to the disputed region by the Indian leader disregarding China's serious concerns," Mas added in a statement posted on the ministry's website.
He noted that China and India had "never officially settled" demarcation of their border, and China's stance on the eastern section of the China-India border was "consistent and clear-cut".
The Indian Government has all along indicated that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India and that the people of that state have a democratic right to elect a government of their choice.
Singh had toured and addressed an election rally in Arunachal Pradesh on October 3.
Recently, China had blocked a part of a loan to India from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for developmental projects in Arunachal Pradesh. China also protested a visit to the state last month by exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama.
India says China is illegally occupying 43,180 sq kms of Jammu and Kashmir. On the other hand, China accuses India of possessing some 90,000 sq km of Chinese territory, mostly in Arunachal Pradesh.
Singh had earlier visited Arunachal Pradesh on January 31 and February 1 and had then referred to it as "Our land of the rising sun" at a public rally, which was objected to by China.
China apparently saw it as India's assertion of its claim on Arunachal, which it claims is a "disputed territory".

Arunachal pradesh belongs to India and India should develop its military to a advance level and the infra in Indian side of border .prepare for a war because Chinese were capable of doing anything like 1962 in future.Let us not forget that we need a great leader like indira gandhi who support the armed force in 1971/72
Arunachal pradesh n aksai chin are integral part of india and will not be disintegrated at any cost ...at the cost of poor bilateral or trilateral ties...instead china shud see in their own land..and work. And there economy will definitely suffer the chinese communism consequences. God and indians are with india...JAI HIND
Actually India occupied Chinese South Tibet (they call AP). They should withdraw from the area wisely, otherwise, India would lose any oppurtunity for development.
India need to engage china proactively, and should not just provide lip service to china. Over the past so many year china has been nibbling into Indian terrain, and a day is not far, when they might call the whole of NE India their.
Our Rulers need to get activated by undesirable, undiplomatic, uncivilised attacks by Chinese Rulers interfering in our day-to-day governance of the States Under the Union Territory. What are we waiting for? Please do send a strong reply advising them to manage their own affairs. India should ask China to vacate our territories in Jammu and Kashmir.
AP state belongs to india and is a part of india, if china interfear, it is going to be a problem. so china back of ........that is my advise.
hi every one the only way india can move forward rapidly inndefence is by waking up officials in HAL and DRDO.we need more high end indigenous fighter aircrafts and intercontinental ballistic missile program (icbm).not only this the intelligent people in IIT should join DRDO and HAL and help the country achieve independence in aircraft building and missile program.right now we buy 75 percent of defence equipments from foreign countris
Yaar kamaal hai, wake up people. They coming in trying to get help from others and we are still sitting and warming ourselves. Guys when its time to GO we need to GO. Kashmir is OURS. Its INDIA's. Lets show the others what we can do to get our baby back. hadh ho gayee yaar.
India has paid a heavy price for its so called democracy. If there is one thing that distinguishes it from China is that Indian minds are not remotely controlled in the way of the Chinese, and are able to exercise freewill. Can I please see some evidence of the free will and minds of the Indian man on the street by boycotting Chinese manufactures. Thank you.
The way China is teasing us on one pretext or the other, some of them serious enough, ( protesting our prime minister`s to visit Arunachal),is because of our sorry state and that we meekly protest there claims. If they behave like this, why can`t we reciprocate. Just speak for Tibet cause. Condemm Chinese intrusions and claims on Indian territory in the severest terms. One thing is clear, the common people of the country have started thinking that Indian forces are inferior to Chinese forces in terms of military might, thanks to the statements of our top military/ airforce brass, that we are not at par to China as far as the defence is concerned. World must be laughing at us, and we are worth of this. We lack confidence, courage, startegy.If at all we would be saved,if at all China invades, it will be God , not the Govt.
himan this is india and i dont like anyone talkin light about our military man.they are fighting in hell like situations in kashmir just to keep us safe.they r not fearing chinese forces , but are concerned about chinese military activities.we dont have military satellite as they do.our government dont spend as much on military as theirs.we dont have indigenous fighter aircraft as they do .main point is if chinese want anything they make sure that they get it by hook or crook.they thretened the people of tibet just to create more military base. one last thing JAI JAVAN JAI KISAN
It is high time India signals a change in its Tibet policy, not because China is threatening us, but because Tibet's freedon is genuinely required, and every Indian had supported teh Tibetan cause albeit unofficially. It is the GOI which in the attempt to please the Chinese never supported teh Tibetan cause. India should now make it clear to the internation community that the real issue is not Arunachal Pradesh, it is the freedon of Tibet from Chinese occupation. The chinese have given us a god-gifted oppurtunity to come out of age old denial.
Many Chinese or our converted Dalits in Pakistan using this website to speak for China using Indian names. Well on the web you can pretend whatever you want to be.I think India should not get bullied by these corrupt Chinese. Our leaders should use firm but polite language to counter chinese response. Put 1000% duty on all chinese imports that should fix them. Why would Bangladesh or Pakistan will have any any problem with China, China is using these countries to weeken India.Even our black president avoided to meet with Dalai Lama because he was told not to by the chinese. So far other white presidents have atleast met him. Look at our kalu.God bless America, at least the world can survive under her, but when china gets in that position it will collect the tax even for inhaling Oxygen.
I wish this statement were made against the earlier provocations from China. I always Better late than Never. China has never appreciated our peaceful overtures and policy of Panchsheel and been continuously at work to oppose us in every arena in the world. So we must think strategically and have sustained policy to engage China. Better defense preparedness is also a must. The kind of barrier our products face in chinese market, should be reciprocated. At least in government's purchasers, chinese products should be kept outside as far a possible.
China has made a tremendous progress in 60 years. India chose policies which did not benifit us. Deep rooted corruption and red tape policies has prevented our growth. Forget about China, even our foreign policies are some time not better than Pakistan. India does not have many real friends in the World. If China occupies any part of India, Can India challenge China? India can use it's nuclear arsenal as detterent as Pakistan is using for others to attack it. Today even a primitive country like Afganistan can not be controlled by all super powers together. Correct India's image by building national character, discipline, clean and efficent Governaments. Prevent criminals to be in Governament in the name of democracy.
we can do nothing but can only bark like a stray dog. we had a wondurful opportunity of eliminating pakistan after 1974 nuclear test. now both of these contries(china pakistan) have nuke
The opportunity was actually available BEFORE (1971), when we had preponed the whupping which they would inevitably have received (from Mukti Bahini).
This guy named Sunil Moses-Is he an Indian,or is he an AGENT of China?With people like him, India DOES NOT NEED ENEMIES!!I think the Intelligence services of India SHOULD keep a WATCH on him
China's mindgames should be met with the same calm and disdain befitting a war mongrel and a regional bully. The Chinese have tried these stunts with Cambodia, Vietnam, and half the countries in the Pacific rim over Spratley Islands. And in the rest of the world, especially Africa, they are in cahoots with regimes of murderous thugs who sell their natural resources at the cost of colonising their countries. What goes around, comes around - that is what they'll witness in time to come. No wonder they over-react to any statements about their country - they're insecure and brittle. Their's is a facade of an establishment built on propaganda and suppression.Third rate factory to the world, I say. They poison their own kids with melamine and lead! Super power, right?
Dont raise the bogey of china and stop doing the dirty work of USA.Do not be foot soldier of USA for few favourable lip services by US media or its politicians or on thrown crumbs else see the condition of pakistan today.70% of indian masses live on less than 2 dollars a day in abject poverty or without any basic amenities of life.There is no road , healthcare , education , home , sanitation , infrastructure , drinking water , where people sell their kindneys to have some food or do suicide. On human development index india stands with some most backward countries of Africa.India should only concentrate on development and raise the life style of its people rather than doing empty boasting.Indian mindset is suffering from megalomania.Get RAL.well it seems india has problem with all its neighbours be it Pakistan, china , Bangaladesh , nepal or others. All countries can not be wrong at the same time so problem is with india and its narrow indian mindset.Thanks
I think we should stop apologetic for the sins committed by others, as this attitude is killing us slowly and slowly. Rather one should be able to see the abject reality and challenges.
Why are you so afraid of these countries.So according to you we should silently hear all the ugly and incorrect words about our country.China is asserting that arunachal belongs to them.If u had been our pm u would have gifted everything including pok,arunachal to our cursing neighbours.so better be silent if u r so afraid of all these countries.
Manoj is talking wisdom. India has to first bring peace and harmony with neighbors. Truly no such effort has ever been made.
India needs to formulate a multi-pronged strategy to deal with a very powerful and ugly neighbour. 1. Our response on two way trade and our alternatives.2. Our Nuclear arsenal - does it have depth.3. Our Armed forces ( Army, Navy , Airforce, Missiles,Communications, Dont forget the spynetworks ) do we have a strong and well organised team to counter China.4. Build the trade relationships with other countries and make the country rich - so that we are cash rich and we can counter China eye for an eye.Does our political parties and governmnet come out with a strategic white paper and followup on this immediately.
We need a strong person as minister of external affairs who can shoot at any allegations almost instantly. The response should be sharp and crisp not mingling with words. We need to be militarily strong in the region. With Naxalites activities increasing all over India. We are seen as a weak state who can not manage their internal security. Hop our power hungry politicians understand this. These days India is taken for granted by any tom dick and harry. Latest is Saudi prince, an oil rich country but poor country as well gripped with poverty. India should hig back with strong words to Saudi the country with religious extremism.
India should now openly support the freedom struggle of Tibetians and provide them financial and military aid.
Then chinese will support and fuel insurgency in entire disgruntled North East and with borders with Nepal, bangaladesh, pakistan and hindu Naxal terrorist group.we should know that coz of pursuing narrow minded poltics for last 62 years and inequality in providing justice to downtrodden we have forced a large masses of indians on the sidelines , these disgruntled people can be used by chinese to pursue their agenda in india .so r we prepared for it.Get our house in order first.we have too many problems in india itself.Thanks
Till we have strong leaders, we should do anything openly. That means never. Right? All those who vote for Congress should be ashamed.
Btw China is already funding the Maoists, Naxals and separatists in the NEeast and has already successfully had its clooges take over Nepal.
India has border problems with Bangladesh, China and Pakistan and claims parts of these 3 countries to be theirs. Is it just a co-incedence that China has no problems with other neighbours, Bangla has no problems with other neighbours, Pakistan has no problems with other neighbours but just India. India can have the whole of Asia and still won't have enough. Just like India cliams people of Arunachal Pradesh are Indians, people of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit/Baltistan are born and raised Pakistanis and are proud Pakistanis.Just because India has US backing now it doesn't mean it should mess with China.
sunil and then mosses are you an isi agent? you have no idea about history. doesn't pakistan have border problems with india and afghanistan? pakistan is illegally occupying border regions of afghanistan? china have problems with vietnam, mangolia, russia, india etc. you are a fool and a paki
Folks, what Sunil is saying here is "India is uniquely dumb in the world". Is it clear? Now, start from there, guys. And Sunil, why you seek to belong to the same class? Just try to be reasonable, see some posts below in reply to yours, will you? may be, some bee in the bonnet syndrome?
sunil moses does not know history. the chinese have border problems with all the nations eg vietnam, mangolia, russia etc. this gentle man is definitely not got his facts right. this letter is so silly it appears to be an alias for a pakistani writer. stop writing crap
India has a greater role to protect cental asian and Asia pasific nations if China continues to accelerate tensions by indulging into Nepal and Pakistan affairs. These are Indias states and China is trying to show an anti Indian face.
This is hight of ignorance. We Indian are not grabin anybody's land at the same we will not tolerate an inch of Indian teritory being taken by some body. Pakistan has taken a part of Kashmir, China is claiming Arunachal Pradesh. Perhaps you do not know that both are integral part of India. We are not asking from Pakistan Karachi, or Islamabad which we gave them and they are enjoying on it now. Simmillary we are not asking China for Peking. India has never messed with its neighbors, on the contrary it is our neighbors who are restless about India-the result is the terror being spread into India. Reset your thinking about India if you are a true Indian.
Pakistan has a dispute with Afghanistan. China with Taiwan. Everyone has a dispute. Better get ur history right.
@Sunil: India inherits its border problems from the British Raj times. The disputes were created by the Britishers which now India is beering... This does not mean that India should give away its land and people to anyone who asks for it. India is not messing with any one but it is the other way round.
Let all the patriots decide, they will not buy any item made in China.
Once again empty boasting.why r indians with its narrow filthy mindset are used to fart from mouth.it does not make any difference to whether india buys from china or not.China has captured almost 75% of the world market coz they work hard and concentrate on work rather than politics.china for all practical purposes is in different big league dear. india still bracketed with Bnagaldesh , pakistan , nepal etcRather than getting envied from china learn to develop like china.Concentrate only on development of india and its masses, learn to live with neighbours.
As Ashok the Pakistani mentions, India will fart and that is enough to bring China on the track. Alraedy Govt. has decided on visa curbs.
We should go to war with those yellow skinned wimps. We can teach them a lesson they will never forget. Burn down that silly forbidden city. The Chinese people need to know freedom. We should push that upon them till they get sick of hearing the word freedom.
Empty farting from mouth.with 75% of indian masses living less than 2 dollars a day and people here are doing muscle flexing and empty boasting. Get real first raise the living standard of indian masses rather than indulge in war. if we cant take on pakistan( which is at least 12 times smaller in size and population and resources) then what to talk of china.Thanks
You all know from 1000 year no one people from worlds Trust on yellow scine chinas,Whay We?We have replay hardlly and Show thaire statuse.
