INDIA-CHINA 2LST

Earlier this month, China protested against Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh, and is
pressuring India to scrap next month’s trip of the spiritual
leader Dalai Lama to the state.
An editorial in, People’s Daily, slammed New Delhi for
being obsessed with a "superpower" status and turning "a blind
eye to the concessions China had repeatedly made over the
disputed border issues."
Earlier this week, Minister of State for External
Affairs, Shashi Tharoor also told reporters here that
disagreement between the two countries should not be "blown
out of proportion."
"I think it’s important that everyone scale down a little
bit the temperature. "It’s not as if there is any substantive
reason for hostilities between our countries," he said, on the
last leg of his trip to New York. PTI
