China's Moves To Disintegrate India Into Many Small Nations

The India-China border dispute was discussed at the 13th meeting of delegations of the two countries held recently. The meeting remained inconclusive without finding any solution to various issues relating to the border dispute. Notwithstanding the Chinese claims of making many endeavors to promote friendship and trade relations with India, there are frequent reports that China is building up cantonments along Indian borders by amassing troops there.

China often stakes claims on the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. China committed 80 violations of Indian borders on the northern region, and has built a naval base in Myanmar to strengthen its naval forces in the Bay of Bengal and Indian Sea. And with the aim to interfere in Arabian Sea, it is building a seaport in the Pakistani area of Gwadar.

Panchsheel Agreement
China established diplomatic ties with India in 1950 and Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru and former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai raised the slogan of "Hindi Chini, Bhai Bhai" (Indians and Chinese are brothers) and the Panchsheel (five principles of peaceful coexistence) Agreement. But by starting an aggression against India in 1962, China captured 60,000 km area of Indian territory.

Following former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's Beijing visit in 1988, trade and cultural ties between the countries were opened and delegations of both countries started exchange visits for trade promotion. Owing to low quality of Chinese products exported to other countries, India banned the import of milk and milk products such as chocolate, and also sugar, mobiles, and toys from China. Not only that, China exported fake medicines to African countries by putting "Made in India" marks on products made in China.

Now, reports are also pouring in that spurious medicines are being exported by China to India. A glut of cheap Chinese products has taken place in Indian markets, with the result that small-scale enterprises have closed or are on the verge of closure. It is commented about Chinese leaders that it is hard to know the real intention behind their smiling faces. In this context, Chinese strategist Zhan Lue has in an article on the website of the Chinese International Institute for Strategic Studies, close to the Chinese military, commented "China should break up India into 20-30 small independent nations with the support of Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. Even a small step by China toward this end would disintegrate Indian union."

In June 2009, the Global Times, the associate publication of China's "People's Daily," also carried an anti-India editorial. It stated that China should extend support to the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) for independence of Assam. In collusion with tribes in Assam, Nagaland, and Kashmir, China can disintegrate India. From this, it is evident that China is at work to harass India by disintegrating it.

In 1963, China received as "donation" from Pakistan 4,660 sq km of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) territory from where China constructed roads up to Kyang and Peshawar and also supplied nuclear and missiles technology to Pakistan for use against India.

Arms and Equipment to India's Insurgent Groups
China has been supplying to northeast India's insurgent groups arms and equipment, apart from imparting training to them. In Nepal, Prachanda and his Maoist supporters have been receiving the proximity of Maoists in Nepal. This can be gauged from the fact that immediately after becoming Nepalese prime minister, Prachanda proceeded on an official tour of Beijing.

After being ousted from power, Prachanda started raising anti-India voices. He is openly opposing Nepal's friendship and trade ties with India, and is also holding out threats to launch an agitation against the existing Nepalese Government. With the support of Maoists of Nepal, Maoists in India also have started spreading their tentacles in the country. At present, nearly one-third states of India are affected by the Naxal violence.

Anti-Indian Strategies
As such, China directly or indirectly is at work against India with the support of its neighboring countries to disintegrate it and cause damage economically through pursuing its nefarious anti-Indian strategies.

India should, therefore, deal carefully and cautiously with China. The government needs to exercise extra vigilance in maintenance of its relations with China, because it is not known when the Chinese dragon would strike India.
