China is a South Asian country, sharing borders with 14 countries including India. Governed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) since 1949, it has rapidly transformed into a global manufacturing hub and technological leader. Its significance lies in its economic rise in the region and hegemonic influence over smaller countries through loans and the Belt and Road Initiative.
As the epicenter of COVID-19, China faced global scrutiny over its pandemic response. Its strict zero-COVID policy and economic slowdowns have affected global markets, while trade disputes and technological restrictions with the US, EU, and India continue to shape its global relations.
China’s foreign policy is marked by its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), expanding influence through infrastructure projects, and territorial disputes, particularly in the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and along the India-China border. It fought a war with India in 1962 over Aksai Chin, and tensions persist along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), most recent being the Galwan Valley clash in 2020.
A sober commendable analyses sans empty jingoism.
This is the exact reasoning that would have been given and accepted by the Powers That Be when the mughals attacked us and again when the British attacked us. That forget about the external evil intentioned attackers just let them do whatever they want to, we must ignore them and only keep fixing our own internal issues. Forgetting the reality that every system and society inherently by nature is imperfect and hence concentrating only on fixing internal issues is a never ending road and to focus all our energies on fixing internal issues not giving any importance to external threats is a BIG MISTAKE. Modi must expose China and Pakistan’s ulterior motives to the world and take steps to keep China and Pakistan under check.
The respected journalist Shekhar Gupta getting too naive here. It is plainly clear to any observer that all the mentioned crises (Darjeeling, Nagaland and Tripura tribals) are old in origin. The fire had been buring long before Modi (and BJP) came into picture. The author is advising the BJP to become weak and not to expand into new states, citing the Chinese as an alibi.
In reality, the Chinese aggression is the result of its perception of India becoming stronger. In fact, a weak Modi and a weak ruling party in India are want the Chinese want.
We expect better from Shekhar Gupta.
This is a Note and warning from ISI agent and China mouthpiece.
Truth comes out from the mouth of one’s critics sometimes. No doubt Shekhar Gupta is anti BJP but this analysis of Chinese threats to destabilise NorthEast must be seriouly mulled upon.
China is a Whimp
Lol write-up. Blame modi for everything. Forget what Mamta bano is doing or con-gress’s machinations in North East.
Please offer this advice to those traitors.
BTW, what is this 642 crore case all about Gupta ji?
The writer is definitely anti-BJP & in that context indulging in his pet theories ! Should hostilities break out everyone in the country will become disciplined !
