Distant Early Warning System

China raised a stink because the Indian prime minister visited Indian territory. While India should of course worry about this Chinese attitude, Russia should worry a lot more.

Don't ever say the Chinese aren't bold:

China on Thursday expressed anger over a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the remote Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, which China also claims, and said India should stop any action that might complicate the dispute.

Yes, not acting like China is the actual owner "complicates" the issue.

Mark my words, China basically thinks anything it wants is a "core interest."

China's anger against India should be ringing alarm bells in Moscow.

Rather than worry about a still very weak NATO offensive power on their western border, Russia should really worry that the day when China could protest Putin's visits to Russian territory is coming soon.
