PLA Delegation at Shangri-La Dialogue Confirms India Poses No Military Threat to China

A senior colonel from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) delegation at the Shangri-La Dialogue security forum stated that India is not a threat to China's military and is unlikely to catch up to China's defense industry and weapons systems.
