Voice
of truth from the old & wise are often unheeded and shouted out by the
unwise and crooked ones with vested interests. This is what happened to
‘patriotic rebel’ Mr. George Fernandes when he said in our august
parliament that China is Enemy No.1 as far as India is concerned. He was
stating this with the full knowledge and calculations as the Defence
Minister of India. Yet the leftists and left-overs from the ‘Hindi-Cheeni
bhai bhai’ era lost no time in condemning his statement. The hard
core leftists of India, whose national interests are always suspect,
continue to attack his stand and is coercing the wobbly government in
power to get more friendly with the enemy. China is a demon which is
being let loose by the careless international community and the
consequences can be highly damaging when we consider their cunning past
and future requirements.
People’s Republic of China (PRC) is almost certain to replace United
States of America (USA) as the world’s biggest economy by the year 2015.
It will be followed in the ladder by USA, India, Japan and Germany in
that order. Economic power is fast replacing military might as the
winning parameter for world power and PRC will soon start dictating its
own terms in the new world order. China is a special country and it has
several features that can bring about disastrous consequences for the
world, especially its immediate neighbors. Perhaps the one and only way
to survive a disaster is to become aware of it early enough and start
preparing for its prevention or damage control. Chinese interests are
definitely going to turn against India sooner or later, whatever we way
look at it.
Hegemony & Fifth Columns
Someone rightly said that future wars will be fought for water and not
for oil or gold. With the ill effects of global warming setting in much
earlier than expected, it is definitely going to make matters worse.
Snowing in Arabian Peninsula, unlimited number of cyclones and typhoons
in America and unprecedented extent of snowing in China are going to
make the strategy planners sit up in these parts of the world. Water for
everyday life is as important as air and the most affected nations know
their increasing requirements in the wake of global warming. Chinese
strategists must be definitely looking for an entry into tropical areas
with access to warmer seas. Their doubletalk about the state of
Arunachal Pradesh in India is proof enough for this. They know that a
democratic diversity like India is weak and its rulers (like Nehru) can
be easily fooled.
In this background India can forget its 1962 experience only at its own
peril. A much more stronger and unchallenged China can easily rip
through Arunachal Pradesh and redraw its borders overnight. Then it is
only West Bengal or Bangladesh that stands in its way to the Bay of
Bengal. A vast majority of Maoists, Leninists, Marxists and what not,
which are thriving in these parts of the world will make it easier for
China to cut its glorious corridor to warm waters. No UN and no USA will
come to the help of India at this juncture. Though Chinese themselves
have given up Communism, it has been carefully cultivating the growth of
leftist offshoots in many parts of the Asian sub-continent. All such
apparently disparate groups will come together as the fifth column for
the Chinese army when it wants to reach the bay. We must also bear in
mind that Myanmar is much more close to China than to India.
World Policeman & Democracy
All those who can think independently about the future of this planet
will agree on the need to have a responsible world leadership and world
policeman. Of course we can always cherish and nurture our hopes for a
just and equitable United Nations which bestows equal status for all
world nations; but it will always remain a desirable target. Whenever
there is a world crisis and we need some one to take decisions, the
whole world looks up to UN. And its organizational mechanism has always
risen to the occasion in arriving at some sound decisions. But when it
comes to the difficult part of its implementation, it is always the
strongest nation that can do something. During cold war era we had
options, but it is not the case anymore. Like it or not, the world
policeman is USA now. But it may not be the case forever.
There is a growing dislike for anything and everything American among
various sections of world society for various reasons. This is bound to
translate into all transactions and business between nations. The role
of China becomes very important in this scenario. With its seemingly
unbiased stand on almost all world issues, China is slowly and steadily
pushing out USA in every sphere. Chinese rulers are utilizing its unique
low cost production advantage to its fullest use in replacing USA as the
preferred trading partner for all nations except its rivals. Sooner or
later this is bound to reflect in the health of US economy and its
position as a world policeman. A strong and resurgent China is bound to
punch out USA from the world ring in not so distant future.
We have everything to lose in this scenario. No Indian and no Japanese
will sleep peacefully after China anoints itself as the world policeman.
The whole world must realize that it is better to have a democracy as
world policeman rather than a pseudo-communist monolith. If the
policeman is misbehaving there is at least a chance to correct it by
voting out the incumbent leaders. But an undefined political setup like
what exists in China can become dangerously robotic and inhuman. China
has certain unique characteristics in terms of its race, religion,
culture and nationalism. It will be another dose of Nazism, but of a
much more frightening scale. Millions and millions of lives will be
required to end the rule of a Chinese Hitler. It is not too late now,
but only if we can heed to the voice of wise men and visionaries.
