BANGALORE, India, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Tensions between rising powers China and India are increasing, with Indian newspapers running articles about the "China threat".
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently convened a meeting of the Cabinet committee on security to review India's ties with China, while Defense Minister A.K. Antony has reviewed the country's security situation following reports suggesting the presence of Chinese soldiers in Kashmir, the Deccan Herald reported Friday. China denied it had soldiers in the disputed area.
Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna told journalists that Chinese intentions in the Indian Ocean are being monitored closely as China has been showing "more than normal interest" in the region.
