China objects to CDS Bipin Rawat's remarks calling Beijing 'biggest security threat' to India

China has raised objection to Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat’s reported remarks calling Beijing the “biggest security threat” to India.

China has protested to India over Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat’s reported remarks about Beijing constituting the “biggest security threat”, the Ministry of Defence said in Beijing on Thursday.

"Indian officials speculate on the so-called ‘Chinese military threat’ for no reason, which is a serious violation of the strategic guidance of the leaders of the two countries that China and India ‘do not constitute a threat to each other’, and incites geopolitical confrontation, is irresponsible and dangerous,” Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Sr. Col Wu Qian told an online media briefing here.
