\"\"News Desk:<\/strong> Head of the US Indo-pacific Command has raised concerns over the increasing military of China.<\/p>\n

Speaking at an Observer Research Foundation event on \u201cThe India-US Partnership: Securing the 21st Century\u201d in New Delhi on Wednesday, Admiral John C Aquilino the commander of US Indo-Pacific Command also expressed concerns over Beijing\u2019s larger aircraft carrier programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cEntire Chinese way forward with regard to military expansion, the largest military build-up in history since WWII both conventional and nuclear in all domains. I don\u2019t think I will try to explain what their intent is but trying to understand their intent is a little concern,\u201d said Admiral Aquilino.<\/p>\n

Aquilino said: \u201cThe articulation of defensive capabilities is what we continue to hear. We also continue to see that the words from the People\u2019s Liberation Army do not meet their deeds. So it\u2019s also one of the reasons that we are concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expressing concerns over Beijing\u2019s larger aircraft carrier programmes, Admiral John C Aquilino said, \u201cChinese aircraft carrier programme has seen the largest growth and what they intend to do with much larger carriers is a concern.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the event, Chief of Defense Staff General Bipin Rawat also expressed India\u2019s concerns saying that New Delhi is also concerned with the rising nuclear arsenal of not only northern neighbour but also of western neighbour.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are surrounded by two neighbours which are armed with strategic weapons and therefore we are evolving our strategies accordingly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
