NEW DELHI: India needs to “take care” of Beijing’s concerns, including those on the Dalai Lama and the South China Sea (SCS), a senior Chinese official said today, maintaining that India only talks about its concerns over JeM head Masood Azhar and the NSG.
Asserting that China has no “strategic will” to contain the rise of India, which is an emerging power and an important partner to it, the official said in the next few months, Chinese warships will pay a “goodwill” visit to India.
Asked about the strong reaction by Beijing, which has warned India of consequences over the Dalai Lama’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh last month, the official said China has good ties with the Modi Government and it was not expecting that it will “facilitate” the visit by the Tibetan spiritual leader.
He (Dalai Lama) is a guest in India and not an Indian national, the official said, adding he should not be allowed to bad mouth Chinese leadership. (AGENCIES)
