This is a series of CVSI in the world. I'm John Bachelor with Gordon Chang at

Gordon Chiang. The Defense Secretary of the Republic of India, Girard Aromain, within these last days.

India is giving a face-off to our neighbor in almost all the fronts we have with them.

Wherever there is a mountain pass fronts we have with them.

Wherever there is a mountain pass,

we are stationed there to face the eventuality.

Wherever there is a road, we have to be ready there.

So that way we are there.

We are standing against a bully in a very determined

fashion and we expect that our friend, the U.S. will be there with us in case we need

their support.

That's the Indian Defense Secretary, speaking of the People's Republic of China.

Gordon Chang, I'd Gordon Gee Chang, and we're very pleased you're joined by our colleague,

Cameron Bokari, senior director, Eurasian Security and Prosperity

portfolio, New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy.

A very good evening to you comrade. India is prepared for

all eventualities. This standoff in the high Himalayas is going on for years now.

Has something changed? There's something new here. Good evening to you.

Yes, good evening, John. So I think that what happens is that when we don't see what

by we, I mean the world does not see

clashes for a long time in other words sort of absence of hostilities then we tend to

think that things between India and China are limping back to some semblance of normalcy.
