Ah, time for the weekly pants-wetting China panic article.

People mistake diplomatic glad-handing and press releases for real deep-rooted alliance all the time.

Right O! Press briefings are just meant for public consumption, your everyday pair of rose-coloured glasses. Behind the scenes, the ones who control India's levers and cranks know their real enemy is China, and will act accordingly. India is not expanding its military to hunt foxes. Likewise with China.

Well, the rapidly rising trade figures between the two nations are not glad handing, and the joint military exercises are more than glad-nhanding...any way you dice it.

This is not a "panic" article. It is simply a statement of concern...and one I agree with it. If you don;t...that's find. State as much without the vitriol and insults.

IMHO, se should be concerned and we should ensure that we have offers and agreements on the table that offset whatever influence the ChiComms try and broker with India.

Dismissing those things that are occurring on a more and more frequent basis as "panic" and "pant wetting" certainly don't add to any kind of reasoned discourse. In fact, they lessen your own position in the eyes of people who may be lurking and looking at the information impartially IMHO. But that's just my own opinion.
