Govt. thinks Indians are gullible who will believe anything Govt says... Just last month Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh(AP)has gone on record saying that Chinese did intrude and occupied some parts of AP sometime back and Indian govt. did nothing.
The only language Chinese understand is one of strength. Chinese not only have illegally occupied Aksai Chin but are now claiming Arunachal Pradesh. Time our politicians developed a spine to stand up against the Chinese and call their bluff by telling Chinese even Tibet is disputed and Taiwan is an independent country.
Vietnamese gave Chinese a bloody nose in Chinese-Vietnam war so China settled border dispute with Vietnam but China thinks of India as a weak state so has designs on more and more Indian territory and refuses to settle border dispute with India.
Recently Chinese refused to give IAS officer of AP visa claiming AP is a part of China so Arunachal people don't need a visa to visit China. Yet our shameless Congress govt. is going ahead with conducting joint army exercises with China.
What we need is a nationalist govt. at the centre that has the courage to stand up to Chinese and our long term defence strategy should be China rather than Pakistan centric.

But prince US is global power and our great democratic friend. US wants to help India, especially in Chinese matter. We can win war against Chinese without any help but it should be accepted that US support will be crucial if they play any role in war.
Also it should be noted that Pakistan will definitely enter against India in war Sino-Indian war.

There are no permanent friends or enemies when it comes to relationship between nations but there are only permanent interests.
Who do you think kept the artificial state Pakistan alive in the last few decades? Who had been secretely supporting China against India in the past? Who sent 7th Naval fleet to threaten India during 1971 war? Yes, it was USA.
No other country can help you if you don't help yourself. USA has been making all the right noises about helping India against China but these promises are just that...promises.
US will ultimately do what is in the interest of US so India should make itself strong enough on its own to face China alone without any external help. This would also mean putting much more money in our indigenous R&D and Indian defence organisations so we become self-reliant in the long run.
One more thing, no nation can make India a superpower but India alone can make India a superpower.
