While Modi has not yet commented on the security challenge that China’s actions are creating, he will have to do so soon. In fact, Chinese President Xi Jinping practically insisted that India join the discussion when, in a speech in Shanghai last month, he said that “India, the world’s largest weapons-systems importer, must take very serious note” of mounting regional tensions.
尽管莫迪尚未就中国的行为所造成的安全挑战做出评论，但他很快就必须对此有所表示。事实上，中国国家主席习近平在上个月的上海讲话中说“印度是世界上最大的武器进口国，必须严重关注”地区紧张的积累，这番话无异于坚持印度参与对话。
