Far less an instrument for its containment
India is not an obstacle to China's aspirations, far less an instrument for its containment, as was wrongly suggested by some. It would certainly help if Chinese scholars and commentators broaden and deepen their understanding of India, equally knowledge and scholarship of China in our country needs to be augmented. We need to understand China better," Tharoor added.

Please explain to me the emboldened parts.
I know "containment" means "an attempt to keep another country's political power within limits without having a war with them" and "instrument" means "a thing" but I could not understand them altogether.
