India and China
by sri on Oct 17, 2007 12:15 AM

One important thing is this: we can disagree with China, we can dislike the aggression in 1964 and we can hold firm to what we want in our relations with them. But we should never never hate them the way some do. This is very important because it ruins negotiations, it spreads more hate among us and among them for us. And it prevents us from reconciling (at least for a long long time) even after we settle our disputes.

China can be tough, sometimes bullying, and many times aggressive. They are also practical, intelligent, thoughtful people who respect strength and intelligence unlike the real threat (islamic fundamentalists). We should try to strengthen ourselves more, organize ourselves much better, get wealthier and be more practical, cohesive, united than we are right now. Look how the nucelar deal is falling apart - who will respect our polity?
