A defence white paper issued by the Chinese government ( Hindustan Times, April 01, 2011 ) is worried about anti Chinese feeling across Asia. The paper says, " The United States is reinforcing its regional military alliances and increasing its involvement in regional security affairs. Suspicion about China, interference and countering moves against China from the outside is on the increase." The paper says that China wants to avoid military confrontation and focus on growing its economy. It is hard to believe that the Chinese government actually thinks anyone in Asia believes this pious rubbish when China keeps increasing its defence spending, is carrying out ethnic cleansing in Tibet, uses disgusting abuse against the Dalai Lama, stridently claims land belonging to other countries and treats its own citizens like garbage. China is feared by other countries in Asia which are no match for it militarily and you hate anyone you fear. Asian countries are thus looking towards the US to provide a counterbalance to China and for military assistance. " Asia-Pacific security is becoming more intricate and volatile. International military competition remains fierce," the paper says. The truth is that China is the main reason for this volatility. China is supplying nuclear technology to failed states such as North Korea and Pakistan, is helping to keep a vicious military regime in power in Burma and by denying a free press to its people is breeding a nation of delusional nationalists. The Chinese government is no different from Islamic fanatics in this respect. For an Indian the Chinese are uncivilised barbarians and anything bad for China is good for the world.
