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 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%)
