What does Fernandez want ? A bigger defense budget.

Might even signal to his Chinese counterpart that there should be some apppropriate mutual saber rattling before their next budget cycle.

Ray should actually comment on this.

India has a real threat from Pakistan, and possibly much of the Muslim world. They also need to worry long term about a global hegemon, the US. China would tend to be further down on the list, unless it allied more strongly with Pakistan or the US moved to isolation and China became much more aggresive in regional expansion.

Biggest long term issue between China and India would be Burma. Pulling Burma into China's orbit would open up a closer outlet to the sea for much of Southern China, and also improve China's regional defense posture.
