While you formulate your theory of China as enemy keep in mind that more than 10,000 people including Engineers are working in China, like in any other country. More than 10,000 students studying in China. All established Indian companies are running businesses in China for the last 7-8 years. More than 20 Chinese companies are selling goods in India at cheaper rate than our own national or MNC companies. Just keep prepard to pay electricity price at around Rs.8 from an American plant and not take at Rs.3 from a Chinese-Indian joint plant. But leaving apart these economic no escape situations, we should play it tactically as no nation or conglomerate should be given free space to dominate others. In that light the pressure should be kept from our side also politically. Otherwise China will prove to be another America inflicting wars everywhere. So all these arrangements are temporary. Don't think flatly that America is our friend and China is our enemy. We have to keep diplomatic relationship with everybody and rake up the maximum benfits for India. Although we should not stop preaching the message of love spread by our early Rishis or Buddha,Gandhi,Tagore CPIM has made Bengal poor, same way, look at the farmer suicide rate at Maharashtra or Andhra. We should think nationally. In this ill informed, conditioned democratic structure it is not easy to form a true sovereign opinion. Lets have an open national debate on critical issue like 123. Let it be constitutional right.

As everyone know Chinese flood the markets all over the world with cheap goods, but at whose cost? They are manufactured in sub-standard condition for the employees and with toxic chemicals etc., When you talk about electricity why don't you think about the subsidies and free power to the farmers, it's is the service of the Government to give power to all but at the cost of the others. The mentality of the Communist must change they put red tape to their eyes and see. Let them get rid of the red tapeism first
