If Tibet is not an issue, then do not talk of it. Can anyone talks of "Delhi is not a barrier in Sino-India relation?
India should be smart to know what is its real interests. For protecting its interests, it needs to know others will protect their interests. Based on this understanding, negotiation can be carried on. Otherwise, confrontation will be inevitable. Both will lose their interests. Game rule is like that. Morality is a word someone like to mention. Hypocrite is another word which should not be forgot.
Very good article indeed. I think India will eventually become more assertive in the near or distant future, in dealing with China. It is not possible right now because the people in power are either from the generation that suffer from the debacle of 1962, or are too ignorant. This generation will be replaced eventually by younger leaders who will call a spade an spade (will not be fooled by chinese tricks any more).
