BEIJING: India should part
company with Japan in its
quest for a seat in the United
Nations Security Council if it
expects China to back the
proposal. This is what visiting Marxist leader Sitaram
Yechury learnt in his
discussions with Chinese
leaders including State
Councilor Dai Bingguo. "Dai said China has no
objection to backing India
provided we come out of
Japans field. He said they
have a lot of historical
baggage with Japan," Yechury told Indian journalists today. Though Chinas distrust for
Japan is well known, it has
not publicly made it a pre-
condition for New Delhi for
supporting Indias case at the
UN. Chinese leaders have no far restricted themselves to
saying that it supported
Indias case "in principal". But Dai and other Chinese
leaders chose not to discuss
the Tibet problem with the
Indian Marxist leader. This is
surprising because Beijing is at
present reworking its strategy on Indian Tibetans
since the recent elections in
Dharmashala. The omission is
also significant because China
is furious over plans of US
president Barrack Obama to meet the Dalai Lama on July
16. "The issue regarding Tibet
concerns China's sovereignty
and territorial integrity, and
we firmly oppose any foreign
official to meet with the Dalai
Lama in any form," said Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesman Hong Lei. Yechury also discussed the
problem concerning issuance
of visa for Chinese workers
coming in large numbers to
implement projects in India,
which are being built by companies in China. "They said it is the major
Indian companies who want
Chinese workers. I was
surprised to hear that,"
Yechury said. Chinese
companies were forced to use their own employees to
implement projects in time as
there are severe penalties
involved in project delays in
India, Yechury was told by
officials in Beijing.
