India needs to retaliate to China more firmly and squarely and boycott China in all ways possible.

moreshwar, i agree. enough with the pussyfooting. i'm not necessarily saying go to war, but there are many things one can do to hurt them (eg ban them almost completely from participating in the indian market).

Many countries like USA, UK, EU , Japan, Australia and New Zealand, Canada etc view China suspiciously. We must make friends with them. Enemy's enemy is my friend. Second block Chinese access to Indian Markets. Develope a strong military machine for defense and a strong economic engine for growth. Some of these need to be urgently implemented in real life.

My expectation, based on history, is that we will take none of the steps you suggest. We are too goody-goody and pusillanimous a nation.
