David, your message is appreciated. But please realize that there is serious problem bet India and China which makes it difficult for us to believe that China is a real friend. China attacked India in 1961 at the height of our friendship. Our PM Nehru deeply believed that China was a friend and immediately accepted Tibet as part of China and also asked that the UN permanent seat be given to China. No matter if the land disputes between India and China are a creation of the west, the fact is that China was willing to attack us and "teach a lesson" as Mao said.
The media in India is free and so Indians can get all this info. So how do you expect us to accpet China so easily. Even now you can see that it tries to bully us over the border issue, has armed Pakistan with nuclear and other weapons against India. China is even armng Bangladesh against India.
So if China wants India to believe it and be a friend it must behave like a friend.
