Global Warning from China

Yet the leftists and left-overs from
the ‘Hindi-Cheeni bhai bhai’ era lost no time in condemning his
statement. The hard core leftists of India, whose national interests
are always suspect, continue to attack his stand and is coercing the
wobbly government in power to get more friendly with the enemy. China
is a demon which is being let loose by the careless international
community and the consequences can be highly damaging when we consider
their cunning past and future requirements.

People’s Republic
of China (PRC) is almost certain to replace United States of America
(USA) as the world’s biggest economy by the year 2015. It will be
followed in the ladder by USA, India, Japan and Germany in that order.
Economic power is fast replacing military might as the winning
parameter for world power and PRC will soon start dictating its own
terms in the new world order. China is a special country and it has
several features that can bring about disastrous consequences for the
world, especially its immediate neighbours. Perhaps the one and only
way to survive a disaster is to become aware of it early enough and
start preparing for its prevention or damage control. Chinese interests
are definitely going to turn against India sooner or later, whatever we
way look at it.

Hegemony & Fifth Columns

Someone
rightly said that future wars will be fought for water and not for oil
or gold. With the ill effects of global warming setting in much earlier
than expected, it is definitely going to make matters worse. Snowing in
Arabian Peninsula, unlimited number of cyclones and typhoons in America
and unprecedented extent of snowing in China are going to make the
strategy planners sit up in these parts of the world. Water for
everyday life is as important as air and the most affected nations know
their increasing requirements in the wake of global warming. Chinese
strategists must be definitely looking for an entry into tropical areas
with access to warmer seas. Their doubletalk about the state of
Arunachal Pradesh in India is proof enough for this. They know that a
democratic diversity like India is weak and its rulers (like Nehru) can
be easily fooled.

In this background India can forget its
1962 experience only at its own peril. A much more stronger and
unchallenged China can easily rip through Arunachal Pradesh and redraw
its borders overnight. Then it is only West Bengal or Bangladesh that
stands in its way to the Bay of Bengal. A vast majority of Maoists,
Leninists, Marxists and what not, which are thriving in these parts of
the world will make it easier for China to cut its glorious corridor to
warm waters. No UN and no USA will come to the help of India at this
juncture. Though Chinese themselves have given up Communism, it has
been carefully cultivating the growth of leftist offshoots in many
parts of the Asian sub-continent. All such apparently disparate groups
will come together as the fifth column for the Chinese army when it
wants to reach the bay. We must also bear in mind that Myanmar is much
more close to China than to India.

World Policeman & Democracy

All
those who can think independently about the future of this planet will
agree on the need to have a responsible world leadership and world
policeman. Of course we can always cherish and nurture our hopes for a
just and equitable United Nations which bestows equal status for all
world nations; but it will always remain a desirable target. Whenever
there is a world crisis and we need some one to take decisions, the
whole world looks up to UN. And its organizational mechanism has always
risen to the occasion in arriving at some sound decisions. But when it
comes to the difficult part of its implementation, it is always the
strongest nation that can do something. During cold war era we had
options, but it is not the case anymore. Like it or not, the world
policeman is USA now. But it may not be the case forever.

There
is a growing dislike for anything and everything American among various
sections of world society for various reasons. This is bound to
translate into all transactions and business between nations. The role
of China becomes very important in this scenario. With its seemingly
unbiased stand on almost all world issues, China is slowly and steadily
pushing out USA in every sphere. Chinese rulers are utilizing its
unique low cost production advantage to its fullest use in replacing
USA as the preferred trading partner for all nations except its rivals.
Sooner or later this is bound to reflect in the health of US economy
and its position as a world policeman. A strong and resurgent China is
bound to punch out USA from the world ring in not so distant future.
