BEIJING (PTI): Acknowledging that India has taken a lead over China in launching an indigenously built aircraft carrier, the Chinese state media has said INS Vikrant would not lead to Sino-Indian arms race nor it would "create any waves" for cooperation between the two countries.
"China is a late comer among big powers in terms of developing domestic aircraft carriers. Even India has moved ahead of us," an editorial in the state-run Global Times said, making a strong case for Chinese military to develop aircraft carriers to add to the first one launched last year.
A commentary by official Xinhua news agency ruled out any arms race as a result of the launch of Vikrant.
