The vast majority of Indians is worried about China`s rise and considers it a security threat, an opinion poll has revealed, with the result exposing a serious trust deficit between the Asian giants. The surveys, conducted by the Lowy Institute for international policy and the Australia Indian Institute, Found that 83 per cent of Indians considered China a security Threat. A possible war with China was rated a "big Threat" by almost three in four respondents. Reasons included China`s possession of nuclear weapon, competition for resources, and border disputes. Even through China is now India`s largest trading partner, just 31 per cent of Indians agreed that China`s rise had been good for India.
