We’re no match for China: Indian naval chief

[Naveed Yaseen]

LAHORE: India is no match for China and there is no way New Delhi could bridge the yawning gap in its capabilities against China, Indian naval chief Admiral Suresh Mehta said on Monday. According to the Hindustan Times, Mehta, who retires on August 31, warned: “In military terms, both conventionally and unconventionally, we can neither have the capability nor the intention to match China force for force…” He said Beijing was in the process of consolidating its comprehensive national power and creating formidable military capability. “Once that is done, China is likely to be more assertive on its claims, especially in the immediate neighbourhood,” said Mehta. daily times monitor
