ThePrint asks:
Is it possible to break the India-China border talks deadlock?
India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and China’s State Councillor, Yang Jiechi, special representatives...
It’s hard to build a house, run a business, or do anything without paying bribes. And yet, citizens’ anger about this open, unchecked corruption won’t erupt into Anna Hazare-type rallies.
As many as 21 policy reforms are under implementation following Invest Kerala Global Summit, as LDF govt works to change perception that the state is not conducive to businesses.
Amid continued concerns over cross-border terrorism, General Upendra Dwivedi further warned the neighbour that India will not show restraint if there is an Op Sindoor 2.0.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
I think that the Chinese test new tactics to grab land and India negotiates modalities to preempt the tactic. It is Chinese militarism v/s. Indian diplomacy. Whilst responding to Chinese attempts on the military platform, India should try something innovative tactics.
Like distributing encryption software in Chinese restive regions, so that the people can send images & videos of Chinese govt atrocities. These files can be made public globally. This approach is easier and better than arming the rebels in China.
From an optimistic perspective, the standoff will prompt the two countries to deepen strategic communication and control disputes to usher them in a new era of development. But looking through blue glasses, the confrontation has fully exposed all contradictions between the two neighbours and only urged them to maintain sharper vigilance against each other.
Without disrespect to the posted learned opinion, what is there to negotiate? The Chinese seized a large chunk of our territory, claim Arunachal Pradesh, and at least for the last 12-years or more, have continuously encroached on our territory. There is no moral right or wrong in their actions; as a rising power they naturally will squeeze existing powers such as India and the US. Our job is not to talk, but to eject them. Every year we talk, we underline our weakness, and making it harder to get back our territory. That the government thinks 1.56% of GDP suffices for defense shows we are not serious, and encourage the Chinese to behave even more badly.
