New Delhi (CNN) Border tensions between China and India could again flare-up, say analysts, following a report in Chinese state media detailing the country's build-up of air defense capabilities close to its western frontier. "With India importing new jets, China will continue strengthening its fighter jets in the Western Theater Command," military expert Zhongping Song was quoted as saying. The announcement is an important signal after last summer's territorial standoff between the two countries in Doklam , near the borders of India, China and Bhutan, analysts say. "It's not India threatening China, it's that they're threatening India," said Matheswaran. Seen as China's answer to US F-22 and F-35 stealth fighter jets, the J-20 is intended to improve the air force's overall fighting ability.
