New York Times: Squeezed by an India-China Standoff, Bhutan Holds Its Breath

[Navin A]

LOL, so you are trying to explain the Chinese domestic censorship mechanism to me? You are so funny.
Chinese offical media is control by gov, it's true. But it's far more better than being controled by capital. I think maybe you can't understand what do I mean.
As for the GFW, try to deny my words? Fine, your lost.


Harmless India, cash cow for everybody. It should be the reason.
But now, maybe China need take India as a evil hegemony in South-Asia. China need feel obligate to do something for South-Asia.

Step outside China and tell someone else that, they will at first laugh at you, 2nd of all they would be showing you door! Proganda is like poison, the more you consume the more it will kill your perspective. As of now your in utter doom.

I think that's a good way to keep the tensions up.
China must continue to keep India in suspense.
Let Modi have sleepless nights and the Dhotis in Donglang suffer mental disorders waiting and waiting for when China will come for them.
Waiting for an hour is torture not to say now 2 months already.
Good luck to India to continue waiting under Duress and in Agony.
Hammer investment sentiments in India and cause capital flight from India.

You call that a declaration of war? Are you a CLOWN ?
Hope you don't cry when real war comes.
.

You think that's a good way to keep tensions up? Are you not "sure" or are you not paid to "say" you are sure?

Btw everyday declaration of war is not suspense at all! Oh may be the Chinese want to keep their own puny citizens under suspense and false bravado.

We are co and having a good night sleep by watching YOU. CLOWNS perform for us. Sometimes with a map, sometimes with a stone , sometimes through your Glabal times chat shows.

We are having all the fun mate!

Singapore is not like the 3 headed snake India who got 3 masters, Russia, US and Israel.
Just because India likes carrying water, do not infer that others will do likewise,
INDIAN WATER BOY.(based on your reference)

Straits Times: Singapore must be confident to chart own path

Singapore defied Superpower US in the Michael Fay incident.
Singapore have independent South China Sea policy.
Singapore is not like spineless India dithering over trial of 2 naval Italians for fear of offending their masters.

Talk about being a water boy ... Singapore is dependent on Malaysia for water

I am outside China and I am not laughing at the Chinese.
I am in awe of the progress the Chinese made.
I am in awe of the peace and prosperity the China managed to bring to 1.4 billion people.
Even tiny Singapore of 2 million had racial riots and had to have draconian laws and an authoritarian government.

I have no choice but to use words like "I think" and cannot use words like 'we' when referring to China.
I am not Chinese.
But we Singaporeans are also having fun watching how the Indians are clownishly trying to pretend to have fun while shitting in their pants.

How the Indians can hope to convince anyone that they are not frightened and anxious while waiting and waiting for an attack at a time of China's choosing is beyond me.

Lol

New York times, it's a garbage newspaper when reporting about international news.

You are very UNWISE for a wiseone.
Singaporeans are a hard working lot.
We came up with water recycling 'New Water'.
We also cleaned up our drains and rivers and built the Marina Barrage and has now solved the water shortage problem.
We can do it because we don't shit and urine everywhere and so our storm waters are clean.
We have leaders who plan many years ahead, and had Malaysia furious and threatening when they first found out we had solved our present water problems.
Before that, Malaysia were continuously threatening to cut off our water supply unless we pay them an arm and a leg for their water.

Can you do that in open defecating India ?
I will get diarrhea if I drink the shit contaminated water in India.
YUCKS, water boy, you can keep your water.

If you decide to be stupid, it doesn't matter where you are:

New York times is a paid syndicate of Chinese propaganda, take it with a pinch of salt, the publication and their staff write more shit for Circulation then anything else & Since paper news is declining they need to get sponsorships from the paymasters In Beijing.

China is trying to prevent the US from containing them. They see China as a threat to their economic and military dominance, so they established a string of pearls in the pacific and now they're trying to establish a string of pearls in South Asia against China. Regions that are within the proximity of China's sphere of influence.

The writer is Steven Lee Myers. I bet that "Lee" had a pretty strong role to play when he penned the anti-India article.

The Chinese don't know that the Bhutanese don't trust the Chinese at all.

This thread proves how ignorant majority of posters are in this forum, When they assume that "Lee" is a Chinese surname..

They have not heard of 'LEE' Jeans.
They are so bigoted and their hate is so immense they are blind to normal reasoning.

The most common is derived from Old English lēah, meaning a meadow or forest clearing. This developed variously into the surnames Lee, Lea, and Leigh

Maybe they only heard about Bruce Lee.. Ignorance is bliss

What are you trying to prove, that India is a geographical expression... that is all you have provided.

I proved you wrong, that's it.

Our national symbol is the same as the Maurya Dynasty's, the first map.

Similarly, the Chinese relate themselves to the Han Dynasty.

It's just a jibe at the article.

India wants to be a world power, but it needs to learn to think and act like one.


India needs to update its view on South Asia
Source:Global Times Published: 2017/8/16 23:23:39


Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang held talks with his Nepali counterpart Bijay Kumar Gachhadar on Tuesday. The two sides agreed to make joint efforts to further advance pragmatic cooperation between China and Nepal and signed crucial agreements.

Western media has reported on the achievements of Wang's visit, but they have also noted India's anxiety. The Chinese edition of the Financial Times ran an article saying that Nepal's closeness with China makes India nervous.

New Delhi's concerns about South Asian countries developing ties with other major powers are distorted, as its understanding of South Asia no longer fits with the new era. After the withdrawal of British colonists, India became the dominant power of the region. During the Cold War era, major powers were engaged in rivalries in other regions and had no time for India's regional hegemony.

But as the world is globalizing, South Asian countries are reviving. India's outdated mentality of controlling those small countries and suppressing their sovereignty cannot last.

Economic and social development is the core interest of all countries, and expanding foreign exchanges is the precondition for development. The overwhelming significance of geopolitics in international relations has been diluted. Most of the time, it is not the primary concern of inter-state relations. India's neighboring small countries develop ties with China out of goodwill and Beijing does not target any third party. But India's old-fashioned mind-set sees these non-political relations through a geopolitical lens.

India does not allow Bhutan to establish diplomatic ties with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. This arbitrary act has no logic at all on the world stage. Neither Bhutan nor Nepal is willing to accept such abnormal controls by India.

India should abandon its Cold War and regional hegemonic mentalities so it can see a great number of opportunities from a rapidly developing China instead of viewing China as a threat. And it would not feel a sense of crisis simply because China is building a road along the border and therefore send troops to trespass on Chinese territory and obstruct Chinese construction.

India is so narrow-minded that it believes a road along the border can determine the strategic posture between China and India.

India views the small South Asian countries as its backyard, which proves that it lacks global vision. Even the US would not intervene when Latin American countries developed ties with the outside world. Russia didn't oppose the global diplomacy of former Soviet republics.

India should reflect on its attitude toward small South Asian countries and the outside world. It should be open-minded rather than viewing the world as full of dangers and challenges.

No major power is interested in making India its enemy or playing zero-sum geopolitical games with it. The small countries in the southern Himalayas have the right to develop friendly ties with China and India at the same time and it will not jeopardize the interests of either side.

We are discussing current affair no something half century old, China has taken enough beating from the west.

Western media is known for their anti-China stand, and India has largely escaped the scrutiny from the west for its acts in Kashmir and NE coz they need India to balance China, so it is quite unusual that NYT published something that is not in India's favor this time.

As for the "nearly every Nepalese person" you referred to, do you mean Maddeshi people who are the new immigrant from India's poorest states UP and Bihar that flooded lower Nepal? We know they are the ones who blockaded routes of imports and brought the national of Nepal to its knee in 2015. But they hardly count as "nearly every Nepaliese".

"Nearly every Bhutanese" knows that India is in control of their diplomacy and military and they do not have the freedom to have relationship with other world powers, and they don't have the freedom to speak out against India's interests openly, but they are now speaking out on internet even India has been selling them "China fear" for years. "Nearly every Bhutanese" are in fear of meeting the same fate of people of Sikkim. I will be glad to quote posts from REAL Bhutanese.

I am sure about one thing thought, the dynamics of China and India will be forever changed. India will not get away from this standoff. There may not be a hot war, but a "cold war" has started.

Like I have said, you have not been to Nepal and have not talked to the Nepalese and seen how fluent they are in Hindi. And I am not talking about the Madeshi (who are not "new immigrants") either, I am talking about the hill people who all mix in Kathmandu.

When you rely exclusively on the media to spoonfeed your cherrypicking, well the hypocrisy is simply there for all to see regarding that.
