China’s Global Times – a newspaper connected with China’s Communist Party – recently (two weeks’ back) conducted a poll to find out that India is not a friendly country, India poses the biggest threat to its existence, India holds a counter views on China, India cannot compete with China, India likes to brag, etc. etc.

China is an extremely safe and dependable country if one were to overlook the following:

1. China attacked India, entered into war in the 1960s and captured sizeable Indian Territory only after it entered into Panscheel agreement with India in 1954. The five principles of Panscheel agreement were: Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity, mutual non aggression, mutual non interference, equality and mutual benefit and peaceful co-existence.

2.China has attacked its own citizen in Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989 killing about 2500 people and wounding 10000 people as per International Red Cross. The reason: its citizen wanted reforms in its political system.

3.Tibetans hold the view that China invaded and illegally annexed Tibet. The events leading to this were well documented in the history.

4.Taiwan holds valid apprehensions that one day its big and mighty neighbor China may invade Taiwan and annexe its territory with China.

5.China has in the past reneged its obligations under the Chinese Railway Bonds issued by it thereby putting number of overseas investors to immense monetary loss.

6.China is known for producing counterfeit products overlooking the Intellectual Property Rights – one of the reasons why some multinational companies express serious concerns in setting up shops in China.

7.In addition, China is supplying fake Chinese Medicines with “Made In India” logo to African markets. Chinese intentions may be to harm Indian interests but it puts the African lives at grave risk.

As per the Poll conducted by Global Times, Ninety percent of the Chinese think that India poses the biggest threat to its existence.

This should be the joke of the millennium. Do you agree?
