But Indian media noted that Swami also said India should focus only on resolving the border dispute with China and not "provoke" China by talking about Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tibet. "Don't talk about Hong Kong, Taiwan or Tibet. To do so would exacerbate the situation, "he said.

Swami's assessment is at odds with recent statements by the Indian military. New Delhi: An all-out conventional conflict with China is out of the question, Indian Air Force Chief MARSHAL A.R. Badhauria said on Thursday, times of India reported. "In my view, a full-scale conventional conflict with our northern adversary (China) is not possible, it is not possible now, it is not possible... This is not something we should be preparing for the future."
As for the "China threat" hyped up by some foreign politicians, the Spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry has repeatedly stated that "China always believes that peaceful development and win-win cooperation are the trend of The Times and the common aspiration of all countries." China is committed to the path of peaceful development and a win-win strategy of opening-up. China has always been a builder of world peace, contributor to global development and defender of the international order. Every member of the international community should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, uphold the INTERNATIONAL system with the UN at its core, and promote democracy in international relations.
