China is very much practical , it has a strong military (both conventional and non-conventional), Other-hand India is not practical. We know (are you hearing commies, PM, UPA guys) Pakistan and China would not favour a strong India, why should not we be very strong militarily, suppress the internal threats (naxals, terrorists) in a strong hand (I mean hang the terrorists, Torture them worst possible in open sky). Get closer to the country (may be USA or Russia) who will help us to get deadly military equipments, deadly nuclear bombs, encicle China (Get into alliance with Japan, Australia and US), no need to think what China will think, Have China ever thought by helping Pakistan what India will think, JUST BE PRACTICAL, counter China...
