1. personally, i love the chinese people. they are smart, hard working and
true in spirit. their women are beautiful also ;) the only bad thing i have
noticed is they are somewhat racist. they do not want to try new things and
making friends with them or joining their circle is very hard. generally,
indians are more friendly. other than than the two people are similar in
terms of intelligence and high culture.
2. the PRC government is a bully, who have no principles. they gave nuclear
weapons to pakistan, not even thinking what the consequences of such a rash
action would be. pakistan is the mass producer of islamic radicals and
terrorists.
3. in the indo-sino war of 1971, the indians were not anticipating a chinese
attack. we thought we were friends with the chinese. they chinese betrayed
us, because we were supporting the Dalai Lama and the Tibeteans cause. Tibet
has never been a province of China. It has a culture of its own and different
from mainland Han culture.
4. In terms of land, the chinese claims are totally exagerrated. The Siachen
Glacier area in Kashmir was part of British India for a long time. China just
got there in the 1950's. The land in the east was called the North East
Frontier Agency (NEFA) in the British days and was administered by the British
India government. It is a remote, populated by indigenous tribes area. It
rightly belongs to India.
5. This whole conflict stems from the fact that when the Communist's came to
power in China in the late 1940's they aggressively took over tribal area's
bordering the traditional boundaries of the Chinese Empire. These included
Tibet, lands in the far west and lands adjoining India, Burma, Thailand and
Vietnam. I do not condemn this as wrong, as the strong always dominate the
weak, but the PRC government should follow a policy of peace and good will
rather than fighting over remote/small pieces of land, that were never
Chinese.
6. The Indian government, especially PM Vajpayee, is genuinely trying to be
friends with out neighbor to the north. I feel the Chinese gov. must
reciprocate will real true feeling, rather than the empty words which it is
currently spouting.
7. Both our countries suffer the same problems. Overpopulation, poverty and
corrupt/ineficient government. If we live in peace and work to better our
trade relations, both countries will prosper.
