India's undue worry about China results from inferiority complex
India's undue worry about China results from inferiority complex

BEIJING, Nov. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- India jitters at the sight of China gaining prestige in Asia, in particular, in South Asia and Southeast Asia, and takes China's ever-growing regional influence in recent years as a strategic encirclement to target and contain India.

Not a few Indians believe the Chinese have a tradition of favoring encirclement game, as Jaswant Singh, former Indian finance minister, foreign minister, and defense minister, put it in his recent article: Asia's Giants Colliding at Sea?

"China, has wei qui (known in Japan as go), which focuses on strategic encirclement. As Sun Tzu advised many centuries ago, 'Ultimate excellence lies...not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy, without ever fighting." Singh wrote in the article.

It sounds nothing more than a loud jealousy, for the simple reason that China has done what India could not, especially when India perceives that China's influence has well reached to its doorsteps and created tremendous impact on those who should have banked on India as imagined.

"For India, the sense that a struggle for regional mastery is occurring has become increasingly keen. Chinese activity in Pakistan and Myanmar, the expansion of China's port agreements in the Indian Ocean (the so-called 'string of pearls'), and heightened Chinese naval activity in the Indian Ocean have jangled India's security antennas." said the article.

This also explains why India has been living under the delusion that China lays out a strategic chessboard to lock up and contain India, and thereby every act and every move of China could touch a raw nerve of India.

Jealousy can sometimes be put in the same breath of inferiority. India could trace its sense of being so self-abased to the brief border war with China in 1960s, when it was beaten by the Chinese army. And India has since eyed China with deep-seated distrust. The Indian media are always given to wild speculations on what on earth China intends to do. Any move Dragon takes in the region would in all likelihood vex Elephant.

On this basis, India would be bent on plotting to break through the so-called Chinese encirclement, and Mr. Singh would produce the delusional article conjuring up a picture of two giants colliding at sea.

Perhaps, when Mr. Singh turned out the article, he has yet to comprehend what it is as reality: What China has thus far done is a have-to as a nascent leading power with steady development, but China has already avoided setting foot on a path that many other great powers would follow in their history of growth and rise----invasion and plunder.

Instead, China has sought after a win-win model when it develops economic and trade relations with its neighbors, including India.

Why India appears so impatient to take more agreeable strategies in its periphery is still beyond understanding. But one thing is certain: Today's India, no matter how anxious it intends to lead the region and even the world, is far from potent and prosperous to act of its own accord----By currying favor with China's neighbor, in particular, those who have brewed disputes with China, India would assume, it could instigate these smaller nations to engage in a gang fight against China and contain China's growing clout in the region.

Unfortunately, either India or Mr. Singh seems to have miscalculated the situation: Nowadays, it is no longer those who have only teeth and muscle that can finally loom on the horizon posing as winners, but those who are confident and courageous, and have a strong body with a sound mind, the latter more important for a great power.

India might as well bear in mind: To build up a real power, neither self-satisfaction nor self-inferiority is a mature and constructive mindset.

In actuality, India has already learnt a good lesson in this regard. Its iron-clad suspiciousness of China and shortfall of confidence in opening to others put sand in the wheels of its own progress.

Two months ago, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, or ICBC - the world's biggest lender by market value, set up business in India, which is the first of four Chinese lenders to start operations in India and was expected to greatly boost investment in India's backward infrastructure sectors and foster the growth of a rupee-yuan market. While in comparison, even more than a decade ago, the same operations started up in Southeast Asian countries bringing an impetus to the local economies and remain as booming even today.

Back in 2006, China and India reopened crossborder trade through the Himalayan Nathu La Pass, 44 years after a brutal frontier war shut down the ancient route. It was expected to give a major boost to bilateral trade between the two countries. But, it turns out to be a picture of contrasts----ambitious tradesmen on the Chinese side vs. slackness of the Indian businessmen.

If India were as courageous as what China has managed to do----daringly reaching out to attract foreign investment and confidently going global, and perhaps, if India could forgo its restrictions on Chinese products and investment, it would progress even faster and would really rival China in the foreseeable future. "No competition, no progress", which is an inbuilt principle in market economy.

If India could carry itself with some ease and confidence, it would not be belittled by others, including China. But if it persisted in its "strategic encirclement" thinking of its giant neighbor, India would virtually step on a loss-making route, at least, in mentality.

In a nutshell, to grow up to be a real power and stand as a sound competitor, India needs to, first and foremost, break through its own psychological fence.
 
:lol: Chinese media is on a roll with its fanboy articles.

Yeah if they don't care then why they write up?? :rofl:

But do u realize that India is indeed a poor country, pakistani (a small undeveloped country with no major achivements) accuses us of inferiority complex now chinese do the same. :cry: :woot:
 
No doubt about the inferior complex. Its very common among the Indians on the net . I don't know how it is among the geneal population. They probably don't care. But hopefully this will continue to motivate them to work harder.
 
Now a so called reporter knows more about geopolitics than an exdefence, finance minister of india.
That shows credibility of article where reporter goes first on personal attack on Mr Jaswant Singh and then a vilified attack on India itself.

What is happening to chinese media?

Where are all chinese posters who were saying that india does not get mentioned in chinese media? LOL Now every week all chineses newspapers (chinadaily, global times and Xinhuanet) are publishing negative propaganda based articles on india.
 
comparing to the times that China is mentioned by Indian media,India is relatively less mentioned in Chinese media,but it doesnt mean that India was never mentioned in China. US,Russia,Japan and Korea..those immediate neighbors get far more attention by Chinese media.if you really like to see the trendy,read Chinese news more everyday.
 
And so a ugandan national mr.hafeezzz has become the new poster boy of the chinese???? :P

He is best false flagger in entire internet forums. with mod's blessings.

But you do seem to be in a full time job ..... posing about India, India and India on this forum.

Just look at how many of your posts are about US, Russia, Japan or Korea.

What makes you obsessed with India ?? - do you mean to say and admit that you are absurd rascal, as are other chinese posters on this forum .... all of who pretend that they are as unconcerned about India as they are about Brazil or Vatican City !

Why waste your time, brother .... go enjoy applying your fantasies to US, Russia, Japan or Korea.

No doubt ur ***** complex here......
 
China is letting off lot of steam these days. Their media is full of india stories every other day. They just can not digest the fact that India finally developed the nerves to venture into South China sea. They know they have been beaten in their own game. These articles are a way to nurse their bruise ego.

Balloon full of hot air . And their balloon has burst

Perhaps, this article is due to their frustration ... especially, whatever happened before and during the East Asian Summit.

Frustration with Obama, Myanmar, Phillipines, Australia ... and what not.

Funny way to vent it out though .... it fuels further mockery, and will ultimately lead to more frustration.
