The report adds, 'Another big Asian country, India is frustrated that China's rise has captured much of the world's attention. Proud of its "advanced political system," India feels superior to China. However, it faces a disappointing domestic situation which is unstable compared with China's.''India likes to brag about its sustainable development, but worries that it is being left behind by China. China is seen in India as both a potential threat and a competitor to surpass.'
'But India can't actually compete with China in a number of areas, like international influence, overall national power and economic scale. India apparently has not yet realized this.'
'Indian politicians these days seem to think their country would be doing China a huge favor simply by not joining the "ring around China" established by the US and Japan.'

This is a big media HYPE created by Global Times and amplified by Rediff. The original poll even not mention India as a threat. Can Rediff Editors do some homework?
The original report of GT is here : http://opinion.globaltimes.cn/top-photo/2009-06/436522.html .
and the poll referred is here : http://survey.huanqiu.com/result.php?s=SFFzdXJ2ZXlfMTAyOQ@%605^1@@%605^1@ .
using "Google Translate" to get the English version, as here : http://tinyurl.com/nvtb5f .
The Poll titled as "Indian PM speak sharply about China's South Tibet territory"
there are 4 questions:
1. How should China to deal with India's anti-Indian separatist forces? (openly support 38%, vaguely support 43%, never support 15%, dont know 4%)
2. Do you think China should be at all costs to safeguard Sino-Indian friendship? (Yes 8%, No 75%, dont care 17%)
3. Do you think India's unfriendly attitude toward China the greatest harm to whom? (China 16%, India 66%, dont know 18%)
4. How do you view India's recent frequently anti-China voices? (The ploy of India's new government to consolidate power 12%, True reflection of the hostile mentality towards the Chinese 37%, To gain from the international anti-China groups 51%)
That's all.
How can anyone summary from this poll that "90 per cent of the Chinese think India poses the biggest security threat" ?
