I had written about this earlier – of how the Chinese Army dressed up as Tibetan Monks to start the riot and the trouble. Here is a photographic evidence. If you or anyone you know has more evidence/thoughts on this, then please do comment on it..
China is out trying what it can politically and militarily to corner and hurt India. Well, we are a strange land and people. For many centuries our ideas ruled over the Chinese mind through Buddhism and now without sending a single soldier their way, we seemed to have attacked China.
In an “off-the-record” meeting, a Chinese official laid claim to an area in Northern Sikkim and threatened that China would demolish some construction there. The news [http://www.indianexpress.com/iep/sunday/story/311173.html] reached India through official circles and India threatened back. > Referred to as the “Finger Area”
China has no friends. And there is nothing that they align themselves with. They can hit anyone they feel will help them. Pakistan is also one of those states that they are using. IN fact that is how the global state diplomacy works. China has gotten a lot a lot
I very rarely find a book that I cannot keep down, specially when it comes to politics. This book by Michael Levin is a revelation. Not many analysts really do serious research before writing. Levin is different. He is a serious analyst who has had long stints in Soviet Union/

You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time. But you cannot fool all of the people all of the time! China has been copying everything in the world – brand name clothes, technology, cars etc. The original owners of
The Olympic rings for Beijing represent Torture, Murder, Execution, Pain and Agony for the Tibetans under the Chinese rule. A parallel relay [http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEH20080414143030&Page=H&Title=Top+Stories&Topic=0] will be run by the Tibetans on the streets of Delhi just 2

Here is another video where the British intelligence in Beijing has confirmed that Beijing used Chinese party officials dressed as Tibetan Monks to start riot that killed several Tibetans ultimately – just to discredit the Tibetans’ movement. > The G2 Bulletin has just published an important update on the situation in Tibet.

Raj sends this link – which shows that the Chinese guards are in London [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3671368.ece] as well! So, Chinese have found a perfect ploy to get into the heart of as many cities as they can and do their reconnaisance for

To run or not to run is the question. The Olympic torch will go through India and some people have been invited to take the torch and run. The reactions are different for the same sentiments 🙂 While Indian football captain Bhaichung Bhutia [http://www.rediff.com/sports/2008/apr/01bhutia.
Richard Bennett [http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/JC26Ad02.html] discusses in an article on how the Tibetans have been funded and backed by the CIA and the Indian intelligence to fight the Chinese all these years.

Talking of China today, it is difficult to keep that butcher and barbarian, Mao Tse Tung out of the conversation. An earlier post [http://www.patheos.com/blogs/drishtikone/?q=content/mao-untold-story] on Drishtikone had reviewed the book “Mao: The untold story” – which after years of painstaking research suggests that
China is a great land. Either everyone does it or no one. There is no room for differentiation. Everyone is uniquely similar.

Not many people realize that the economic relationship between China and US is a quid pro quo that is just meant to prop up the feeling of wealth. Despite the fact that I am nowhere near to as economic-savvy as most of the world economic gurus, I do believe it
This is a nice animation [http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/LUC/ChinaFood/data/anim/pop_ani.htm] of how China’s population has and will change between 1950 and 2050 (a 100 yr period). As you can see in the coming years the old majority of the population will

The growth of China in the past years is phenomenal. But growing the trade surplus at a rate of $200 billion a year is amazing!! This story also brings out the close nexus between the Govt and the Business (which I suspect is just an extended arm of Chinese Government
Is this a harbinger of things to come in China? When the Government doesn’t think much about the people’s good.. things can go wrong.. specially when they do not even have a voice! > Thousands of villagers have rioted in south-western China over the country’s controversial family planning
This article for Drishtikone by Peter Navarro, the author of “The Coming China Wars” gives a flavor of the detailed analysis of the effect of China on the world at large in the coming decades in his book. I strongly recommend the book to read about each “War” in detail!
