An opinion piece on NDTV.com warns that China's PLA is entering a 'dangerous new phase' as the final year before its 100-year modernisation goals begins. The article, titled 'China's PLA Is Entering A Dangerous New Phase, And India Can't Afford To Look Away', states that three problems remain unresolved. The piece does not specify these problems in the provided excerpt. It argues that India must not ignore the PLA's progress toward its centenary targets.
The opinion's alarm over a 'dangerous new phase' repeats a familiar narrative of inevitable Chinese aggression. But the three unresolved problems are left unnamed, making the warning feel vague. India must stay alert without panic. The real test will be whether PLA activity along the border actually escalates in coming months. How will India's defence budget respond if it does?
