NEW DELHI: China\u2019s official media on Thursday warned India to stop behaving like a \u201cspoilt kid\u201d and learn lessons from how China handled Donald Trump after the US president-elect challenged \u2018One-China\u2019 policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, India behaves like a spoilt kid, carried away by the lofty crown of being \u2018the biggest democracy in the world.\u2019 India has the potential to be a great nation, but the country\u2019s vision is shortsighted,\u201d an article in the state-run Global Times said.<\/p>\n
NDTV quoted the article as saying India \u201cshould draw some lessons from the recent interactions between Beijing and Trump over Taiwan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter putting out feelers to test China\u2019s determination to protect its essential interests, Trump has met China\u2019s restrained but pertinent countermeasures, and must have understood that China\u2019s bottom line – sovereign integrity and national unity \u2014 is untouchable,\u201d the paper said.<\/p>\n
While the article did not elaborate on counter measures, China besides protesting to Mr Trump over his phone call to the Taiwanese President and his comments questioning One-China policy, also seized an \u201cunmanned underwater vehicle\u201d in the disputed South China Sea, the first such incident in the area, NDTV said.<\/p>\n
The drone was returned subsequently after protests from US and Mr Trump, an incident seen as an attempt by China to flex its muscles ahead of the President-elect taking over office next month.<\/p>\n
The drone operated by a US survey vessel in the South China Sea was seized by a Chinese navy ship.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven the US would have to think twice before it messes with China on such sensitive problems, so what makes India so confident that it could manage?,\u201d the article said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
