After India declared plans to construct a road in the disputed region of
Northern Arunachal Pradesh near the Chinese border, the Voice of
Russia, a Moscow-based radio broadcasting service, said that Beijing is
capable of launching a full scale nuclear strike against New Delhi from
Tibet.
India spent US$7 billion for the construction of a road in
northern Arunachal Pradesh state. Due to its proximity to the Chinese
border, check points will be established along the road using the most
advanced equipment. Meanwhile, India also decided to increase the number
of troops stationed in the border region next to China.
There have been several confrontations between the PLA and the Indian Army in Northern Arunachal Pradesh since April of 2013.
The Voice of Russia reported that India's new road is aimed at provoking China and Pakistan, its rivals in the border region. The announcement, it said, which took place after Xi Jinping's visit to New Delhi last month, indicated India's unwillingness to reduce hostilities with China. Despite the fact India welcomes more investment from China, the political relationship between Beijing and New Delhi remains the same.
The broadcasting service went on to say that deploying ballistic missiles to Tibet can become an option for China to confront India in the future. Chinese ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads, if launched from there, can strike targets within India. To defend its line of actual control in the border region, India has begun to deploy missile regiments to its frontlines.
Both nations are now competing against each other for the leadership of South Asia.
