The China-Pakistan Defense strike

"There is enough space in the world for both India and China to grow. India and China are two big Asian powers, and when two big powers sit together and meet, there are bound to be differences.":Nirupama Roy,Foreign secretary of India

Its a known fact that China and India have shared a bitter relation for the past many decades.Both these are growing Asian nations which have defined the world order .From initial tussle of Sino-Sikh War in 18th and 19th century to Sino-Indian war in 1962.From failure of Panchsheel to gearing Pakistan -China relation ,  the country across Himalayas has always clustered clouds of apprehension and doubts for India. The recent bitterness erupted when Northern army commander Lt. Gen. B.S. Jaswal, was denied visa by china on grounds that he was the commander of the conflicted area in Kashmir .


In coming weeks India and china are going to exchange various dialogues on economic as well as political front through various summits including East Asia Summit, BRIC(Brazil Russia India and China) summit and G 20 summit.

Chinas massive project at Hambantota In Srilanka

China has shown lot of interest in Pakistan occupied Kashmir,which has been very disturbing for India.It will be really interesting how these two countries will go about their relation through the upcoming summits.India has to keep an vigil eye on the mighty neighbor as our national security is at complete risk.China is spreading its power through naval activity in Gwadar,Pakistan and Hambantota in Srilanka-The massive naval project. Both these countries have given space to china to incept the naval basis.This is a really disturbing factor for India,though China is more concerned with its naval activity near Taiwan,to regain the erstwhile country but at the same time it has created bases around India which needs to be regulated.


China has been ambitious in its various projects whether it is sports,space programmes, Strengthening defense and moreover strengthening  ties with our soiled rival Pakistan through defense collaboration.To advance their progress in Pakistan they are constructing pathway in POK.


China is also tangled in border dispute of Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh.Even the Issue of India with Nepal has to be treated in a protective way as China has an immense influence over Nepal-Nepal accepts Tibet as part of China where as India has given shelter to suffered Tibetans.There is a highway to be constructed by China  which will be been linked to Kathmandu. Moreover the Maoism influence in the region can jeopardize Indian security.


Though India says that it wants to work towards the betterment of the countrys relation but monday was embarked by the meeting between Prime Minister,Dr. Manmohan Singh and his Japanese counterpart where they discussed China again regarding China Japan maritime boundry dispute and for Indo-China Land dispute in Kashmir.Both countries called upon a concrete dialogue to engage china to clear the negativity and apprehensive approach.

Tibetan supporting India After Tibet crackdown

I really think dialogue is the only option for the stability of Asia and the world.But question arises can we trust china for its words.I would like to throw light on The123 Deal we had in 2008 was an achievement  to overcome a fear.A fear which everyone can sense.We do not have the mighty military strength as china,the suspicion activities by Chinese always leads to negative gravitation.Also India has provided Shelter To Tibetans.Thats another major concern area where China has acted as a brutal player in annexation in Tibet.The crackdown has perturbed millions across the globe.India has opened her gates to Tibetans which has upset China to a very large extent.




As far as if we see economic spectrum ,Chinese products have flushed in the markets but at the same time they lack the skill of global language-English, in which India has overshadowed  this country for using this global language to trap the economy.

It will be really interesting to see the dialogues progressing among these countries as both countries have a quest to fulfill its wish to emerge as global Power.At the same time I think India should spend more of her budget on strengthening her defense which will make the national security shield strong.Also India need to review its economy policy to garner more foreign investment.India should look towards the collective defense such as pacts with USSR Or USA,EU & Afro Nations and various strategies for its own National Security.At the same time the trade relation and exchange programmes between China and India may ripe off sour seeds.
