According to recent media reports, there has been a drastic rise in incursions by Chinese troops through the India-Tibet border near Leh and Ladakh region. A report said that some Chinese soldiers had recently entered the Chumar sector, east of Leh, and even threatened some Indian shepherds. The soldiers also painted 'China' on some of the rocks with a red spray paint. This incident comes on the heels of a protest lodged by Army chief General Deepak Kapoor with the Chinese authorities following a recent incident of a China-bound helicopter entering the Indian territory. In fact, there have also been reports of frequent incursions by the Chinese Army into Leh-Ladakh region since January 2009.
On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was formally established, when Mao announced the creation of a "people's democratic dictatorship???? at a ceremony held in Beijing.
Chinese incursion into the Indian territory is not a new phenomenon. China has taunted India through military and political means for quite a while now. China's actions have revealed many uncomfortable plans against India, such as backing the Maoist activities in Nepal.
Riots and subsequent events in China????s Xinjiang province have shaken the political structure of the communist nation. Also, China is on the defensive, as far as tackling the global economic crisis is concerned.
Chinese authority would try to consolidate its position as an emerging world leader, and may want to wipe out any possible resistance. China will be preoccupied with its internal matters till mid-September 2010. In fact, from 2010 onwards, the country may face radical upheavals. It is no secret that China is preparing to become a world leader.
After October 2010, China may begin a massive military exercise and deploy thousands of troops on the Indo-China border. In 2011, China will struggle to maintain stability in the region. Repeated Chinese incursions into Indian territory may lead to a large-scale war similar to the one in 1962. Thus, the period starting from August 2012 looks highly sensitive for India.

As we can see China can do things 3 times better than us......Maybe it will be 4 times in 5-7 years. With an exchange rate of 7 yuan per dollar India should be 21. No wonder India despite depreciating it's currency we are still unable to compete with it in manufacturing. No wonder roads, railway tracks, water, power,work-ethics, vocational training cannot be created with a cheap currency.
Hence with Reliance at 4,00,000 crores Market capitalization and an exchange rate of 20 the company is already 200 billion on par with Berkshire Hathaway. Hence we could expect RIL to double to 400-450 billion.
This has lead me to assign a target of Sensex at 30,000-40,000 levels. Most of the midcaps and smallcaps would not be able to grow 10-20 times with the slow growth being witnessed. Moreover 2002-2007 period was noticeable with a lot of slush liquidity in the system. We may not see that kind of a boom in our lifetimes.

According to rumor mills doing round in diplomatic circle, the main reason behind this offensive against India is that they learned about Gobi Manchurian and Chinese Bhel served in restaurants here.

Rumors making rounds are also hinting that MoEA is seriously trying to reslove this by paying 2% royalty to Chinese for every plate of Gobi and Bhel served in Metros, and is considering appointing certain Mr.TenPercent from our friendly neighborhood as a consultant oversee this deal.
But it is suspected that MoF is opposed to this deal due to inflantionary pressures it could bring.

Thank God we live here and not China. Many forigners who I speak to are really impresed with what China has done with its infrastructure but are absolutly awed at what we are doing without being a coersive regime .we have democracy and our voice.
The level of corruption is fantastic in China and every one on top is related.So it is more an ogliarchy( System ruled by a few) the poor have no voice and prostitution .... you will be hounded in Shangai by the prostitutes. bejing is more refined.

It seems Chinese bite the hand that feeds it. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and India were first off the block to ask the world community to recognize China as a Permanent Member of the Security Council despite the fact that even we at that time had an opportunity to become one. Talk of somebody forgetting the good deeds done to them.
The Chinese are building Chittagong port in Bangladesh, Hambantota port in SriLanka and Gwadar port in Pakistan alongwith projects in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in Pakistan to ensure an uninterrupted supply of oil and Gas from the Persian Gulf. Thus China by following a policy of strategic encirclement would be able to challenge India with a blue water navy both the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal.
In the 1965 and 1971 Wars with Pakistan, China did not get involved. I predicted that India and Pakistan might see some fireworks in 2013 with a possible or probable war with China in 2016. Would the Chinese get involved if India mans it's own backyard?
A series of articles from Times Now:
1. Undeniable proof of Pak-China nexus
It's undeniable proof of Chinese involvement in Pakistan to keep an eye on India. If a top Indian Army General is to be believed, the armed forces have proof of the presence of Chinese troops along the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan.
In fact, in a number of instances Indian soldiers have spotted Chinese soldiers in bunkers along Neelam Valley in Paksitan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) near Gurez sector of North Kashmir.
GOC-in-C Northern Command warns of Chinese threat. Lt Gen K T Parnaik says Chinese troops are stationed along LoC and warns of implications for India in case of hostilities with Pakistan. The General said Chinese presence in PoK is increasing.
Lt Gen K T Parnaik, GOC-in-C Northern Command, said, "It poses military challenges to India and not only along the Sino-Indian border but also along the Line of Control. And we hear many people today who are concerned about the fact that if there was to be hostilities between us and Pakistan what would be the complicity of the Chinese. Not only because they are in the neighbourhood but the fact that they are actually stationed and present on the Line of Control. The Chinese presence in Gilgit Baltistan and Northern Areas is increasing steadily. China is involved in construction and upgradation of numerous roads, bridges and hydro power projects. The Chinese links with Pakistan through PoK lend strenth to the China-Pakistan nexus which has been of great security concern for us. First of all, it jeopardises our regional and strategic interest in the long run. It facilitates speedy and enchanced deployment of Pakistan armed forces to complement China's military operations and thus outflank India. And finally, as a part of a String of Pearls policy the Chinese footprints are too close for comfort."
2.Pak angle to Chinese incursions
Pakistani angle has now surfaced to the Chinese incursions into India. A 'New York Times' report has claimed that the Pakistan government has allowed 11,000 Chinese Army soldiers into Indian territory in Gilgit and Baltistan.
The 'New York Times' has reported that the Chinese are eyeing this strategic region because they want to access Pakistan's Gwadar port to allow for gulf oil to reach China's eastern province.
According to the 'New York Times', China wants a grip on the strategic area to assure unfettered road and rail access to the Gulf through Pakistan.
Many of the PLA soldiers entering Gilgit-Baltistan are expected to work on the railroad and extending the Karakoram Highway.
Why is China eyeing Gilgit-Baltistan
1) Gilgit-Baltistan strategic area for China 2) China using Gilgit to access Gulf through Pak 3) Gilgit will connect Eastern China to Gawadar port 4) Gilgit to be used to store anti-India missiles
'Project is illegal'
India has always said Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of India. Any project within what India considers its own territory and not cleared by the Indian government is illegal. It is being ascertained what the actual position is vis-a-vis the 11,000 Chinese in Gilgit and Baltistan.
India has taken strong action against Chinese firms in PoK. A number of Chinese firms are working on projects in Pakistan occupied Kashmir involving billions of dollars. There are thousands of Chinese labourers working on these projects.
Now, India feels that those firms involved in PoK should not be allowed to work in this country and there is also a plan to restrict the number of Chinese employees in India.
In PoK, there are 14 Chinese mega projects that include upgrading the Karakoram highway, a bridge over river Jhelum costing over a billion, a 750 kilometre rail link through Khunjerab Pass and funding of 11 billion dollars for the Bhasha Dam.
proof that China will find hard to rubbish, border villagers provided sufficient evidence of repeated Chinese incursions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and also shared their plight of living in the area to TIMES NOW.
Despite India turning a blind eye to the repeated incursions by China, villagers around the LAC allege that the lack of development in the area is making them more susceptible to bullying by China.
In the tiny village short of the LAC border, villagers continously said that China freely cross the border and are slowly redefying the LAC drawn after the Indo-China war of 1962.
Kalzang Ponchok, a local shepard said, "There was no incident for a long time, they entered on their own and in the summer the roads make it easy for them to come atleast half a killometre to one kilometre into our territory."
Another resident, Tsering Dondup added, "China should be told to stay calm and stay within their own palce. They snatched Tibet and they have snatched seven countries. We Indians are peaceful always and we always keep saying shanti shanti. How long will we talk of peace?"
Earlier, seeking to play down reports of incursions by Chinese troops into Indian territory , Air Chief Marshal P V Naik had said that such incidents take place regularly and "make no difference". Noting that he was not aware of any such particular incident, the Air Chief said, "These things keep happening. During snowfall, even on our thing (side), people go one odd kilometre here and there. It makes no difference."
India says China is illegally occupying 43,180 sq kms of Jammu and Kashmir, including 5,180 sq km illegally ceded to Beijing by Islamabad under the Sino-Pakistan boundary agreement in 1963. On the other hand, China accuses India of possessing some 90,000 sq km of Chinese territory, mostly in Arunachal Pradesh.

Pakistan a client state of China can do it's bidding as Pakistan does not take too kindly to India's humanitarian measures in Afghanistan. Recently we witnessed a bombing of the Indian High Commission in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has huge mineral reserves and getting involved is important for playing the Great Game in Central Asia. But it is granted that Pakistan has much more in common with the "back-stabbers" in Afghanistan than India.

Let's not believe everything that New Delhi says. Pakistan and China are not so bad and India is not so innocent. This humanitarian thing is all hogwash. We have seen how humanitarian Indian Government is when it comes to dealing with problems of poverty in India.
A country that cares zilch about its citizens will hardly care for Afghanistan.

that is why every single neighbour of China be it veitnam or japan has a dispute with it. It is the goodness of China that is ensuring that it does not become worse.
As for Pakistan it is very good. Only problem are the mullahs who are now virutally running a parallel government, the army which keeps interfering in the administration and pumping in mercenairies into Kashmir, the tribals in the North east who harbout the Al quaeda, the .....

Dear Sir,
I am sure India has enough problems with its neighbour. The problem is when we think that our problems are because of our neighbours and China's is because of China. Let's stop it on that.
The other reason why China is feared and hated to some extent in western world and India because this is the first time in history that someone (apart from western world) has challenged the conventional belief and western hegemony. India loves western world's dominance.
As far as Pakistan is concerned, it is a favorite whipping boy for other countries for their failure and screwed up policies.

Very true. How Americans used their media i.e everything from newspapers to movies to convince the world that Russians are the devils...similarly Indian governement & corporates through media have thrust that Pakistan is evil propoganda through our media.
The plight of minorities(muslims, tribals, Sc/St),Kashmir issue and the Maoist situation are evidence of how much political parties care about us.
Please note that i'm not implying that China or any other country for that matter is less corrupted. All nations which have the illusion or aspiration to become a super power has been immensely hypocritical and corrupt throughout history. In the 21st century, with internet making information available to anyone who wants it...i think it is our responsibility to be aware of it and not be blindly patriotic.

Somehow Indian mandarins have been involved in fomenting trouble in Balochistan which Pakistan alleges. We have problems with all our neighbours. We are not maintaining positive relations with either Bangladesh or Srilanka. The Tatas wished to set up steel plants in Bangladesh as it could have had a two pronged strategy- of utilizing natural gas reserves of Bangladesh and check the influx of migrants from Bangladesh to West Bengal. But they have abandoned the project. We could have been a better neighbour by getting bigger bang for the buck by improving relations with all the neighbours than concentrate our energies on a mirage of issues of abundant nuclear energy and being a client state of the US.

The funny part in all these debates is that everyone thinks others are client states of USA except themselves.
I like one comment by some US diplomat. He said "Indian use heavy words very lightly". How true.
