CHINA DOES NOT WASTE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO ASSERT IT'S TERRITORIAL CLAIMS VIS A VIS INDIA. BUT IS NOTABLY QUIET ABOUT IT'S BORDER DISPUTES WITH RUSSIA. CLEARLY THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH POWER EQUATION OF CHINA WITH IT'S NEIGHBOURS. CHINA HAS MANY GLOBAL AMBITIONS. IT TALKS ABOUT ALTERNATE TO US$ AS AN INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY.
