China has expressed “strong dissatisfaction” over the Asian Development Bank’s decision to approve a $2.9-billion funding plan for India which includes projects in parts of Arunachal Pradesh still under dispute between the two countries.
The Chinese government said on Thursday the ADB had “tarnished” its name by approving the plan and urged the bank to reconsider its decision.
The ADB’s Board of Directors met on Monday to approve India’s country strategy for 2009-12, which includes a $60 million flood-management programme in Arunachal Pradesh. China still has claims on parts of the State, and talks to resolve the long-running border dispute between the two countries have made little progress.
The Chinese government accused the bank of playing politics by granting approval for India’s projects. Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said on Thursday China expressed “strong dissatisfaction” over the decision.
“The Asian Development Bank, as a regional developmental institution, should not interfere in the political affairs of members,” he said.
“The bank’s move not only seriously tarnishes its own name, but also undermines the interests of its members.”
Mr. Qin said the outcome “[did] not change the fact that China and India have huge territorial disputes,” and could not change China’s “fundamental position on the border issue.”
The Chinese government “strongly urged” the ADB to “take effective measures to eliminate the negative impact of this move,” he added.
Report from The Hindu.
India should pay back to China in the same coin.
India should raise claim for Tibet.Strongly oppose China in all possible international forums.
There is nothing worst China can do to India than what it is doing to India currently [and all through the past].
It has done every thing in its power to hurt India.There was a report based on some poll done in China which showed that 90% of Chinese believe India to be an enemy Nation.One can dispute the validity of such polls.But the indications are unmistakable.
Chinese government is absolutely hostile to India is a fact we all Indians should acknowledge.China claims Arunachal Pradesh,Assam as its own and is holding large portions of Indian territory.Not even India's arch-rival Pakistan has gone to that extend..!!
It's absolutely critical for India as Nation to be very very careful about China.pakistan is a more visible enemy of India,but China plays its treacherous games from the background.It's this which is more poisonous...
And the very fact that China is opposing HUMANITARIAN flood relief funding for Arunachal Pradesh shows it's ugly face.It also shows that China is not at all interested in the welfare of people of a part of land it claims to be it's own...!!!
China thinks it has become a super power.Indian attitude to China's tantrums should be simple-"Go To Hell"..
