The Chinese Prime clergyman Jin Bia is in India on an official visit. But as if to underline the Chinese point of view, he has proceeded to Pakistan after the conclusion of his visit to India. This does not auger well as it shows the Chinese mindset of equating Pakistan with India. Pakistan remains a strong ally of China.
China also suffers from delusions, which have in part been fed by Western Powers and India as well. One of these is that =China is the Middle Kingdom and the town of world power. Thus the Chinese want to see the world straight through their own eyes. There is nothing wrong with that, except that when it affects countries like India then this Middle Kingdom opinion must be countered.
News From China
India is the only counterweight to China in Asia. Japan is too small and the ravages of the Second World War and a pacifist constitution does not auger well for it to challenge China. The political leadership is well aware of this and thus China has a policy of containing India. These can be summarized as below:
a) China is cultivating Pakistan as a counterweight to India at every step. Some Chinese troops may also be in so called Azad Kashmir to needle India. Lately the Chinese have been issuing visas to Indians from Kashmir by not stamping the visa on the passport, but stapling it as an addendum.
b) China is now talking of a 2000 km border with India, though India claims a border of 3260 km. This shows that China has started someone else shift by not recognizing the Kashmir and Ladakh border as a part of India. In addition China does not identify the McMohan line as a border and also has occupied 30,000 sq miles of Ladakh in Aksai Chin as part of its territory.
c) China is production plans to encircle India. Hence the stress on cultivating Burma, Nepal and Bangladesh to break their relationships with India. The plan is to encircle India, as well as sustain any group from Nagaland to the Maoists who fight against India.
d) All these activities is covered up by a veneer of friendship and with bland statements that have no meaning.
Thus though the Chinese premier has signed deals worth 16 billion dollars, it is best to be wary of the dragon. One thing we must understand that the Chinese have a separate religious doctrine than India. For them the adage might is right holds true. This requires that India beef up its muscle and stand up to China and prove to the world that India is not behind China in any field.
