New Delhi: Eighty three per cent Indians consider China a security threat while 63 per cent of them want relations with China to strengthen.

An opinion poll — India Poll 2013: Facing the future, Indian views of the world ahead — by the Lowy Institute for International Policy and Australia India Institute (AII), revealed multiple reasons for the mistrust between India and China, including China’s possession of nuclear weapons, competition for resources in third countries, China’s efforts to strengthen relations with other countries in the Indian Ocean region and the India-China border dispute.

The poll also revealed that 83 per cent Indians want India-US relations to be strong while 31 per cent see US as a security threat.

As far as Pakistan is concerned, an overwhelming majority of 94 per cent Indians see it as a threat, citing terrorism, Pakistani army’s perception of India as an enemy, Pakistan’s nuclear weapons and its claim over Kashmir. (UNI)
