The real Chinese intention

Quite contrary to the conclusion of the recent India-China border talks, a Chinese strategist asserted that India should be broken into 20 to 30 independent states with the help of the ‘friendly countries’ like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan.

This was suggested in his article ‘If China takes little action the so called great Indian Federation can be broken up’, which was published on the new edition of the website of the China International Institute of Strategic studies (CIISS), an influential think tank which advices Bejing on global strategic issues.

In his article which is likely to create ripples in the masses and classes of India, the Chinese strategist Zhan Lue argues that India could only be termed a ‘Hindu religious state’ that is based on caste exploitation and which is coming in the way of modernisation.

The article recommends India's break up into many nation-states like in Europe and contends that if the consciousness of ‘nationalities’ in India could be aroused, social reforms in South Asia can be achieved, the caste system can be eradicated and the region can march towards prosperity. The author further says that with these caste cleavages in mind, China in its own interest and the progress of whole of Asia should join forces with ‘different nationalities’ like Assamese, Tamils and Kashmiris and support them in establishing independent nation states of their own.

The article calls on Beijing to support the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA), a militant separatist group in the Indian northeast, to achieve independence for Assam from India and also assist Bangladesh to encourage ethnic Bengalis to get rid of ‘Indian control’.

Division of India would be desirable for the purpose of weakening India's expansion and threat aimed at forming a ‘unified South Asia’, the article asserts.

Although the Chinese diplomatic clan has showcased healthy relationship building between the two nuclear armed nations, its influential institutions continue to suggest policies which are meant to hamper India’s progress.

Samachar.


Whoever is this so-called tank,think-tank ,that is,hope China has many more foolish tanks like these...!!

He should have atleast remembered that the India also can do these sort of dirty tricks to china as well..

anti-democratic,inhuman,ugly nature of China,the better..


Indian's Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor thinks differently.Perhaps he too knows the reality and is saying what he said only for the sake of it :)

Rediff reports :

India has a 'fundamentally healthy' relationship with China that goes beyond the boundary issue, Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor stated on Tuesday.


"The relationship should not be seen only in the context of the problems, it should also be seen in the context of the opportunity," he said when asked about the India-China border talks last week.

Tharoor said, "We are very pleased to say that, by and large, even the fact of the border talks is confirmation that the relationship remains fundamentally healthy."

The special representatives of India and China, National Security Advisor M K Narayanan and Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo, held the 13th round of talks on the vexed boundary issue in New Delhi on August 7.

Noting that China had recently become India's single largest trade partner, the minister said looking at the export and import sector without the IT services, China has overtaken the United States.

Tharoor said there was an increase in the number of tourists coming from China to India. "A large number of tourist visas are issued to Chinese to come to India. They may be discovering India as an important tourist destination," he said.
