india should monitor the chinese very carefuuly ans always be on its toes. its clear from the past exprience that the chinese have scant respect for other nations. the manner in which they treat the indian territory or arunachal pradesh suggests that they wont even hesistate to launch an attack on india given they have the milliatry strength to achieve an outright victory. however its good for india that at present china does not have that option. a millitary conflict eith india will hit the chinese economy very hard which is stiil in the resurgent phase. however once china completes the resurgence of its economy then their is no doubt that it will really resort to its arm twisting a la india. the best thing india can do is to settle this border dispute as soon as possible or else cosy up to america.
