China reacts sharply to the India-US defense agreement

During the third 2 + 2 ministerial-level meetings between India and the United States, several important agreements including Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA) were reached. Under this, the two countries will share state-of-the-art military technology, equipment, and geospatial maps.

China has reacted sharply to the latest agreement, which is already in the discussion about bad relations with India and America.

According to China's official newspaper Global Times, Chinese experts believe that the agreement has brought India's defensive weakness to the US and that "US services on compatibility issues will not meet India's expectations."

The newspaper says that this agreement has been signed just one week before the US election, so that Donald Trump's chances of victory will be strengthened. Quoting Chinese analysts, the newspaper has also said that the deep relations between India and America are also uncertain.

The Global Times said that the US is luring India with sweet talk and deteriorating relations between China and India, "but India is happy to accept Washington's patronage because it believes China With the long-running deadlock his confidence will win for victory. "

According to the newspaper, a researcher at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of International Relations, Hu Jhing said on Tuesday that India has gradually abandoned its traditional diplomatic doctrine of non-alignment and has moved closer to the United States.

He said that we urge Pompeo to stop exaggerating the "China threat" and stop "deteriorating relations between China and other countries in the region and do wrong things that reduce regional peace and stability" Stop doing it too. "

Another news website linked to the Chinese government, Guncha, wrote on Tuesday that the Pompies claimed to have discussed cooperation with India to "deal with the Chinese Communist Party's threat to security and freedom and promote peace and stability in the region".
