Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna is currently visiting China. He has sought cooperation in various sectors. Making an appeal to Chinese leaders, he said: 'China should extend cooperation in the struggle against terrorism. It is a global threat to counter, which there are need-concerted endeavors by all the nations of the world. We are faced with such political ideologies as smack of narrow loyalties.'
Support for Permanent UN Membership
The minister also said: 'China should extend support for permanent membership of the UN Security Council for India. The two countries should exhibit maturity in the resolution of various disputes including the complex boundary dispute. They are not rivals and the Indian military is not in competition with China on the modernization issue.'
In so far as China is concerned, viewing its role from the very beginning, it has been undermining India by keeping its interests uppermost. It replied to the 'Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai slogan through an invasion in 1962 and grabbing 60,000 sq mile territory of India. So far so, China recognizes Arunachal Pradesh as is part and expressed opposition to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other leaders visiting the Indian state. In Ladakh and Uttaranchal, the Chinese aircraft and helicopters have repeatedly violated the air border.
In 2009, the Chinese troops entered the Indian territory up to 1 km, and painted rocks there with red Chinese letter. They stopped the construction of a rural roadwork, which was in progress under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) project. Recently, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delegation toured the border area of Ladakh and it was learnt from the shepherds of that region that China is capturing the Indian territory inch by inch. It was the first visit of an Indian political party's delegation to that place.
Expressing protest over such a state of affairs, BJP President Nitin Gadkari said: "China occupied 147 spots within the Indian border during the current year and the government is concealing the fact. It is not taking any solid steps to retrieve these spots." In the Himalayan region, in the vicinity of the India border, China is building a road network and railway lines, establishing cantonments and constructing a dam on the river Brahmaputra, thereby preventing the water flow toward India. All this has greatly undermined India's security interests.
By flooding the Indian markets with its cheap and low quality products China is causing a huge damage to the Indian industries. So far so, its milk products and toys have been found extremely dangerous for health.
Communist China's Admission to United Nations
Whenever efforts are initiated for India's permanent membership in the UN Security Council, China and its camp follower Pakistan vehemently oppose it though China could get the UN Security Council membership by virtue of India's endeavors. The United States and other Western countries were opposed to the Communist China's admission to the United Nations.
China is bent upon undermining the Indian interest. A defense expert close to the Chinese troops had said in 2009 that China should adopt a strategy of disintegrating India. According to the US and Canadian analysts of the Toronto University, Chinese hackers have hacked classified documents of the Indian Defense Ministry and its missile defense system owing to which a threat has been posed to its defense mechanism.
Talking in terms pf the Chinese cooperation to counter terrorism is really astonishing. It is no secret that insurgents and rebels active in the northeastern sector of India are imparted training by China, besides receiving financial and arms support.
Inspiration for Maoists
The source of inspiration for Maoists that have become a big threat to India is none else than China and they invariably receive arms and training from China. China has also incited anti-Indian sentiments among Maoists active in Nepal. Not only that, China is a close friend of Pakistan, which is recognized as nursery of terrorism. It is China that supplied missile and nuclear know-how to Pakistan. A big seaport is being built by China at Gwadar in Balochistan for the Pakistan Navy.
In such circumstances, making an appeal to China for cooperation to counter terrorism is nothing but self-deception. Why will China extend cooperation to India against Pakistan and its own nurtured militants?
