China tells India to promote peace after missile test
Beijing (AFP) April 12 - China urged India Thursday to promote peace and stability in Asia after New Delhi tested a nuclear-capable ballistic missile. "As for the ballistic missile test of India, we have noted the reports," foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said. "We hope that India, as a country with an important influence in this region, can work to maintain and promote peace and stability in the region. "We hope they can make a positive contribution in this regard and play a positive role." Qin refused to comment further on the test. India on Thursday test-fired a nuclear-capable intermediate-range ballistic missile which can reach the Chinese cities of Beijing and Shanghai.
The launch of the Agni-III missile took place from Wheeler Island, 180 kilometres (110 miles) northeast of Bhubaneswar, capital of the eastern state of Orissa. India, which conducted nuclear weapons tests in 1998, has developed a series of nuclear and conventional missile systems as part of the Defence Research and Development Organisation Integrated Missile Development Programme which was launched in 1983.

And, more importantly to India, it can hit Islamabad and Karachi.

India is damn smart. Always negotiate peace from a position of strength, not weakness.

China tells India to promote peace after missile test China's spies just recently got tasked to go after the USA's ABM capability as a TOP PRIORITY.
I wouln't be suprised to see the Chinese government buy or develop a nuclear tipped ABM from Russia soon.
