As you all very well know, China has been a member of G-8 since a long time. Maybe it was a way to counterbalance Japan, that it was included in G-8. Since then China has demonstrated the ambitions and aspirations of a becoming Global Power, which it has now become. Hence it may be justified for China to protect its interests from Foreign powers including India, which it sees as a Major nuisance. Before commenting on issues such as China's recent ASaT missile, we need to understand and evaluate our own capabilities before making a knee-jerk reactions. It is worth while to understand, how China has evolved from a wrecked Communist State to become a Global World Power inspite of its huge population. I think the real issues are internal to our country. At the miserable state of politics and decadence in premeir National Research Organizations like DRDO, ISRO and HAL. Nothing works. That's the flawed image which I have of India as a Regional Power. When a country ignores its majority and wooes minorities for votes, it going to be doomed for failure. There is bound to be a revolt, as I can see the doctors already doing...Somehow I feel Congress as a Post Independence Political Party has taken India almost down the drain, its only its majority population which has sustained Indian development, and that Congress gives us in return is Quota system and Nehruvian Socilism. If they feel its so good, why not give Quota to all economically deprieved....why only to certain castes and now Muslims...WTF is going on. Why should India even expect us to fight when it doesn't even bother taking our views into account.
