Arrogant Chinese colonel’s big words, said- Indian Army is not able to challenge PLA

Tension has been going on between India and China for some time. The armies of the two countries are face to face on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). At the same time, a senior colonel of China has given such a statement which is quite visible to tell his overconfidence. Chinese military representatives at Asia’s premier security forum said India cannot pose a security threat to China as it is still unable to challenge Beijing in defense construction and modernization of its military, the South China Morning Post reported. . Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, representatives of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said that India is still far from matching China’s military, especially in the defense industry.

Senior Colonel Zhao Xiaozhuo of the PLA Academy of Military Sciences said India is unlikely to overtake China in the coming decades due to its weak industrial infrastructure, while China has built a complex and systematic defense industrial platform. When you look at the weapon systems of the Indian Army, what types of tanks, aircraft and warships were built and developed by the Indians themselves? According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, India was the world’s largest importer of major arms from 2018 to 2022, with 31 percent of its total weapons coming from Russia during that period.

Senior Colonel Zhang Chi, Associate Professor of PLA National Defense University and a member of the delegation, said that India has left no stone unturned in military modernization to become an influential superpower like other countries. Zhao, however, said that because of the Quad, there will be no impact between China and India on platforms like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The aim of the Quad is to counter the rising China.
