It's good to hear about arunachal pardesh, I'm always an Indian and we arunachalean always Indian, Jai hind, Jai bharat Mata

[TinTin]

If China invades Taiwan, India must take advantage of the time and get back Aksai Chin as well as all the fingers in Ladakh. It should also strengthen its eastern border.

Mr Rudd was pro China while being PM around 2010, recent years changed his mind. We live in Australia so have bit of hands on experience

Highly doubt China wants to invade India.
At best it’s border disputes but not full on invasion along Himalayas.
It’s way too expensive on both sides because of geographic setting.

It’s too inaccessible.

So as long as India put up sufficient defense and deterrent, the answer is no.

[imjonglepa]

Don't worry we indians are prepared to handle china, let's not focus on what western countries tells us, let's focus on our own

[arisnaga]

Arunachal Pradesh is a part of India, and will be part of India integrity, sovereignty, territory an what China think can't let's them exercise by our military .
Jai Hind 🇮🇳

Actually, Taiwan is more secure after the Chinese military drills. It is sending a message that all of Taiwan needs to take defense very seriously.

[MadhuAmayil]

Will China first of all invade Taiwan? Do they have the balls of steel to take this to that level.

[hubreydavid]

China needs India just like India needs China for trading both countries have millions of people to feed

[shantanushekharsjunerft]

He is an amazingly well learned man! Too good to be a politician actually.

This is one of the best interviews I have seen. Hats off to PM Kevin Rudd, his words were so measured, targed and clear, so are the questions from Palki. Thanks WION

[atulyabhardwaj]

Taiwan and India's condition is not the same my friend.. India has ICBM, air defence systems, 5th generation fighter jets, 1.5 million active personnel and most importantly NUKES

[areascoda]

Namaskara to Wion for making this world leader feel so comfortable and speak so freely and intelligently. Hats off to the interviewer.

[pakistanlostitstinylullahi]

China would be making a very big mistake of invading Arunachal Pradesh, a State which is part of India. We aren't living in the Nehruvian Era of weakness. If China tries something stupid, Tibet, Xinjiang etc will become free.

[davidhynes]

"Winnie the Pooh" and Poutine have the same thing in mind but they will fail.

[valetudo]

Love Kevin Rudd. Happy to see him here on WION

[mgronich]

Kevin must have disappointed Palki in that he didn't even agree China would invade Taiwan, much less invade Arunachal Pradesh.

[elliottcorell]

Kevin Rudd is a world class diplomat. It’s a pity Australians could not appreciate such person as a prime minister

[AldersonJoshi]

It's very difficult to trust USA. It will take long time for India

[slashu]

If India focuses the next decade on innovations & self reliant....forget china....no one can invade India! I hope Sir Narendra Modi governs INDIA for another decade--Jai hind
