The communist nation is desperately looking for ways to make inroads along our borders. U.S. has also revealed that China is pumping in huge investments along the Sino-Indian border on infrastructure developments to build more roads and rail network. India had earlier lodged an official protest over Chinese troops damaging a retaining wall built by Indian Army in Yangtse in Arunachal Pradesh. There were several attempts by the Chinese army to violate the Line of Actual Control (LAC) over the last couple of years.
It is reported that China is looking forward to launch aircraft carrier operations in the strategically crucial Indian Ocean region and the spy work is directly attributed to this. Presence of Chinese Carrier Battle Group in this region will be a major threat India and the Chinese ground forces already enjoy a military supremacy in the land borders. India has strong reasons to be concerned about the Chinese moves as the communist nation is increasingly strengthening its foothold on the Indian Ocean, Central Asia and Africa and its alarmingly close military ties with Pakistan.
