Modi govt”s response to China will be calibrated, not impulsive

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Narendra Modi government is unlikely to take any rash decision despite the recent military aggression by China over the Line of Actual Control (LAC), which left 20 Indian soldiers killed and over a billion Indians seething in anger.

Anger against China did result in some action. For instance, Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) scrapped its contract with Beijing National Railway Research and Design Institute of Signal and Communication Group Co. Ltd.

“In view of poor progress, it is decided by DFCCIL to terminate the contract with Beijing National Railway Research and Design Institute of Signal and Communication Group Co. Ltd,” the Indian Railways said in a statement.

However, the government”s overall response, military or economic, is set to be calibrated and well thought-out. Reason? India”s economy is largely linked to the dragon country. China is India”s second biggest trade partner, the first being the US.
