US Pentagon Report: China's Dual Strategy on India Baffles Experts

• Pentagon's latest report on China's military power presents contradictory views on India-China relations.
• Report claims China seeks to stabilize relations with India but also declares Arunachal Pradesh a 'core interest'.
• Expert Brahma Chellaney dismisses US assessment, stating China's Arunachal claim is a pressure tactic, not a genuine war intention.
• China is building military bases in India's neighborhood (Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc.) and arming Pakistan, contradicting peace claims.
• China's space program with regional allies aims to expand influence and weaken India and the US.

Why It Matters: US Pentagon report shows deep confusion over China's true intentions towards India, mixing peace claims with aggressive actions.
