India successfully tested its long-range ballistic missile, Agni-IV, which can travel 4,000 kilometers and carry a nuclear warhead...
Rattled by Agni, China asks India to cool its missile fever
The Global Times editorial piece shows how two back to back missile tests, earlier Agni V with a range of over 5000 Km and now Agni IV, have rattled China.
Global Times, the mouth organ of China's ruling Communist Party, has dismissed India's missile programme saying 'India needs to cool its missile fever'.
The Global Times editorial piece writes that 'India should realize that owning several missiles does not mean it is a nuclear power. Even though India does become a nuclear power, it will be a long time before it can show off its strength to the world.'
Successful Agni IV missile test rattles China
The write-up uses some harsh words for India after its successful Agni IV missile test yesterday that has a range of 4000 Km and can reach China. It shows how two back to back missile tests, earlier Agni V with a range of over 5000 Km and now Agni IV, have rattled China. These tests show India's prowess for its Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) development programme.
When India had test-fired its ICBM Agni V on December 26, China was quick to question India quoting an 18 year old UNSC resolution that seeks that India and Pakistan should shut their ballistic missile development programmes. Reacting on India's launch, Hua Chunying, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry had said that 'the UN Security Council had explicit regulations on whether India can develop ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons'.
India treading on path that breaks the United Nations' protocols
The editorial piece says that India is treading a path that breaks the United Nations' protocols, "India has broken the UN's limits on its development of nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missile. New Delhi is no longer satisfied with its nuclear capability and is seeking intercontinental ballistic missiles that can target anywhere in the world and then it can land on an equal footing with the UN Security Council's five permanent members."
India claims for permanent seat in UN Security Council
India's claim for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council is another soar point for China and like India's bid to join the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), China tries to thwart the Indian efforts here as well.
