China has to thank Russia for imparting them nuclear secrets which led to the first nuclear blast by the former. And we believed that Russia was our saviour. We talked of Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai only to be given a fitting stab in the back by Chou En Lai. And then we liberated Bangladesh and no prizes for guessing their attitude towards us. And in Simla, Mrs G was kindly disposed towards Bhutto and we were rewarded with the cross-border terrorism. Make no mistake, unless we can defend ourselves, no nation and certainly NOT CHINA is going to respect either our sovereignty or our goodwill. CPI & CPI(M)may not like USA and the US govt may be self-centred, but at least the US public (like the Australian public) have a conscience and not like some other countries, where the public have no voice. We ought to take care of ourselves. No nation ought to rely on someone else's goodwill for their own integrity.
