China will be India’s main long-term competitor, says ex-Army chief Manoj Naravane

Published by Webster

China is likely to emerge as India’s main long-term competitor across multiple domains, while Pakistan remains an immediate security concern largely because of the continuing threat of terrorism, former Army chief General Manoj Naravane has said. Naravane, however, said he deliberately preferred the term “competitor” rather than “enemy” while referring to China.
