New Delhi:
New Delhi might want to down play rising Chinese assertiveness against India, but behind the scenes there is growing concern. China's soldiers, helicopters and now even fighter jets have been intruding into Indian territory and airspace in the last month.
Beijing's new aggressiveness comes as talks continue to resolve the border issue. So, why is New Delhi downplaying the China challenge?
Speaking to NDTV, India's Deputy Foreign Minister Shashi Tharoor says India's relationship is a complex one and that Pakistan and China cannot be compared.
New Delhi is clearly worried and has called a meeting of the China policy making group on Thursday to take stock of the situation. The Defence, Home and Foreign secretaries will be at that meeting.
