The recent border clash between the two Asian giants in the remote ranges of the high altitude Himalayas was an unfortunate incident that should not be repeated, especially when the avowed enemies of both Beijing and New Delhi, are eager for exploiting such incendiary occurrences.
China and India are major and mature powers having the world’s largest populations of over a billion-plus people each, and possessing nuclear weapons that are outside the inspection of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) – a body that acts as a tool of the West and tries to bully independent Muslim states such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, while turning a blind eye to the nuclear arsenal of roguish regimes such as the illegal Zionist entity.
One false move and all hell will break loose with dangerous environmental consequences for the entire Planet Earth.
This is what the US and its west European allies want because of their inability to prevent the emergence of China as a superpower capable of driving out the Americans from the whole of Asia and its rim states in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
This is the reason for the hypocrisy of the West in pretending sympathy and friendship for India by trying to portray China as the hegemon.
New Delhi ought not to bite the US bait. The US, or for that matter Britain, which for two centuries exploited and enslaved the Subcontinent, is no friend of India.
Thus, diplomacy, and not confrontation, is the need of the hour, especially for two of the world’s ancient civilizations which have flourished beside each other for millenniums and will continue to exist as neighbours long after the Americans have left the region and the US ceases to exist on the map of North America.
Whatever the reasons for the bloody skirmish in the inhospitable Galway Valley in the geographical region called Laddakh, the two sides should get together to resolve the border disputes, which are mostly the result of the arbitrarily scribbling of imaginary lines on paper by the crafty British colonialists, such as the McMahon Line.
The recent incident that led to loss of life on both sides could have been avoided, had the two neighbours, or more properly their local military commanders on the spot, kept their cool instead of letting emotions take control of their senses, and the resulting use of stones and clubs to kill and injure each other, since the code of ethics worked out by India and China decades ago disallows their soldiers to use guns and firearms against each other.
Anyway, as proved by the recent bloody skirmish, clubs and stones (there are plenty of them) also snuff out human life.
Hopefully, saner minds will prevail on either side of the border, and instead of blaming each other, the two neighbours, in view of their sheer size, massive populations, abundance of natural resources, industrial capabilities of their people, and above all, civilizational norms, take rational steps to remove the misconceptions.
This is necessary for building a solid regional bloc in order to keep out their common enemies from Asia and its rims, particularly the evil US.
