The border disputes with China cannot be settled unless there is trust between the leaders of the two countries and India should not concede even an inch of its territory to China, Swamy told a press meet in Kochi on Friday.
'Having good relations is not enough. We need to build trust, which is lacking', he said.
Indian and Chinese leaders should meet more frequently, he said adding the recent visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, to China had 'not broken any new grounds'.
'India does not trust China and China does not trust India'. That deficit should be covered and despite Prime Minister's visit, that has not changed, he said.
On the recent luncheon meeting hosted by AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, he said 'they know each other.' Jayalalithaa had gone to attend Modi's swearing-in in 2002, he said.
Asked about the 'Bharat Ratna controversy,' Swamy said his party was committed to the 1977 decision of former Prime Minister Morarji Desai that such awards should be abolished.
'You can give medals to soldiers for valour. But to give awards to people for public service is not necessary', he said, madding,all such honours and medals should be abolished.
'Like Monarchy, state awards are not keeping with the democratic spirit of the country', he said.
Senior BJP leader L K Advani had in a letter to Prime Minister Manmoham Singh on January 5 proposed the name of A B Vajpayee for the Bharat Ratna, triggering a controversy.

RatingSUBRAMANIUM, THE CLOWN OF INDIAN POLITICS ONLY MINDLESS SOUTH INDIANS CAN ELECT FOOOL LIKE HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHAT A WASTE OF PARLIAMENT PLACE????
China had been helping India’s enemies but if we make a friendly step rather than a hostile step with China there are better hopes for progress and will weaken India's bigger enemies. China is certainly a dominant force in Asia and if we take the right steps in our relation building with China we can add this as catalyst to India's Progress. And there are many ways we can do that ......
hello indian!be ready for "enter the dragon".give grand reception.u will never regret.hahahaha......
v r simple people. v canot make out what is behind mangoloid smile of chini.v think he is giving us friendly smile.so he looks very simple!
Why did not you tell in advance that this statement was by Subramanian Swamy. I could have saved some bandwidth. Are you guys really running out of news...I mean come on covering Subramanian Swamy's statements....
We Indians do not trust China after India-China Bhai Bhai turned into China saying bye bye and started the 1962 war.China may say it does not trust India because India gave asylum to Dali Lama after china occupied tibet and started interfering in Tibetans religious faiths. However, India gives political asylum to many people and not just to Tibetans. China is all smiles in front and treachery at the back.
Chinese are snakes and only stupid idiots will keep snake as a pet. Those who bite us once will do that again and again. When will the poor Indian learn from past mistakes. They are our enemey's friend.
India has valid reasons for not trusting China.China has systematically and deliberately proliferated Nuclear and Missile technology to Pakistan,Iran and soon to Burma and BangladeshChina feels uncomfortable with the RISE of India,because in the long run India willchallenge China's Asian hegemoney. China always cosy upto unsavoury states, which will in the long run will have major impact on China.India's long term economic and military ineterest are entwined with USA/West.India's doctrine must be to develop strategic interset with the USA and at the same time play China's game of developing strength. China only resopects strength and wealth, when India has reached that parity, all issues will be resolved with the drop off a hat, that is why India desreves a stalwart Leader like Modi, to take India's dynamism forward and not the namby pamby one's India is saddled with. Obsewrve how USA deals with China.
