We can benefit by having a good relationship with China. Many just criticise and going by their sentiments all are enemies. We will be totally isolated like North Korea, whose only friend is China, who is now friends with all!
China is not like the old. They have thrown open the economy. Their leaders are highly businesslike unlike our impractical commies whose stale theories will not interest China anymore.
Their tall leader Deng Xiopeng, standing under five feet, chartered new vision and knocked some sense into his colleagues. A practical man, he saw how the chinese flair for business was crippled at home, whereas they flourished in Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore, Malaysia etc. He exhorted his cadres "whether a cat is black or white does not matter, it has to catch mice". Another went "to be rich is to be glorious". The latter one, none of our commies will utter, as they flourish in poverty. Deng knew without wealth they were doomed.
Some tout our democracy. Let us hail that, but have we gained by our no holds barred chaos? Leaders play one against another, inciting hatred, for their selfish interests.
Let us have a basic understanding with not only China, but also others and be practical like them. I feel China is magnanimous as they can ignore us as they are in a better position, being a Permanent Member of the SC and key member of Nuclear Suppliers Group. We have more to gain.
Let us not be blinded by hatred and create enemies.
