China's Defense Minister is visiting India to discuss military ties and outstanding issues between India and China.  It is a good idea to have open dialogues on all territorial issues because exchange of dialogues is the only way to have a long term peaceful agreement and environment in which both countries can live.  War cann't solve the territorial issues.  However, the question right now is the 'timing'.  Why China is interested in having these dialogues?  If one evaluates China's relationship with the countries around South China Sea, one leads to only one conclusion and i.e. that China feels being isolated in that part of the world.  Also, of course, one ought not to under estimate the close ties which are in the works between India and the USA.  A feel of being isolated and close ties between India and the USA are the main concern of China because they are directly affecting the hegemonic and territorial aspirations of China.  India should not forget what China did in 1962.  Right after Chou-en-lai's -then Prime Minister of China -visit to India and a loud slogans of 'Hindi-Chini-Bhai-Bhai', China attacked India and rest is a history which everyone is aware of.  China is playing a chess-game, and it is in the interest of India to make sure that its 'KING' (territorial integrity and security of India) is protected before arriving at any conclusion and agreement with China.  INDIA NEEDS TO BE VIGILANT OF CHINESE MOVES.
