Subject: The Hans' demand of it's five fingers?
musloko-maro    6/7/2007 9:32:17 PM

The slit eyed barbarians across the Himalayas, have "considered the palm(Tibet) and five fingers(viz., Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, NEFA(Arunachal P) and Ladhak, as their integral part of the Han physique".

The Hans are blatantly telling their Maoist counterparts in Nepal, Bhutan, etc., that without these "five fingers" they are unable to service their mouth and arse(eat & defacate respectively)! Which is
not understood effectively in our Nepalese vernacular press.

China's vehement contention: Every and any Mongolian faced state/territory/proivince/region automatically belongs to them, and that Indians of Aryan ancestry have no business in occupying "their lands". That they should all be "lawfully returned to Hans' despotism.

Further India has to hand over their "arch-traitor" the Dalai Lama.

The latest, sudden spurt in the Chinese interest in the North-Eastern
parts of India, is due to the availability/discovery of certain herbs, which form an essential part of Chinese remedial systems/quackery(or whatever it is called) The Red Army of the Hans need these herbal roots for their research and manufacure of home-made medicines. link

Hot on the heels of what appeared in yesterday's Nepali Maoist journals, today, the Chinks have almost made it official, that they are backtracking on Arunachal Pradesh accord.  

New Delhi: China is backtracking on an agreement reached with India two years ago.

The agreement clearly stated that both countries shall safeguard the interests of their settled population in the border areas.

This was seen as protecting India's interests against Chinese claims to Tawang and other areas in Arunachal.

However, media reports now say China no longer seems to accept that. This was reportedly conveyed to External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee when he met his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jieche, in Hamburg last week.

Jieche told Mukherjee that the mere presence of settled population would not affect China's claim.

The issue could come up when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh meets President Hu Jintao on the sidelines of the G8 outreach summit on Thursday.   link

 This might be a good time for the Indian Army and US army to hold joint exercises in Arunachal Pradesh.

The Tibetians seem more like mongols, but in no way do they belong to China.


Well India has shown it can fight the Pakis, and can help the those in Bangeldesh in need, but can it fight the Chinese commies that it lost territories to in the past? Interesting that nothing has been done to recover lost ground?

Man for man and hand to hand they pushed back the US troops and sent Mcartuther running home to take early retirement, the US only managed to win back South Korea by using massive amounts of firepower to slowly advance and consolidate. If India cannot get overwhelming firepower into the theater of operations and saturate the PLA with ordinance, it will really be 50-50 for victory.

But it is not impossile, even if you loose ground, you must make their stay impossible, like providing a Vietnamese welcome, only then the Chinese cannot wait to leave.

Tibet as you know it is being dismantled and renovated into the Chi Com world of economic development at the expense of environmental destruction, the money, the railway, and the modern world will render Mr dalai lama into a tourist attraction. The Chi commies should see his value and let him back to attract tourists.

fantasy kingdom, will soon be no more.

Nanheyangrouchuan & Raputin
 
The unlikely, rather a rare, event of a joint Indo-U.S. military "gilli-danda" will hardly
have any effect on the Hans, who would these days, give a fllying fcuk
to any overture India would put out. India can and should try to damage the Hans' strength of the non-penetrable pocket-book. That is play indifferent to any and all of the Hans' financial/commercial/trade enterprises. It will hurt India, too. But India should bite the bullet. India can live without the Hans'  "co-operation". But the slit-eyed barabarians need India's ever burgeonig markets very badly.
 
India is one of the very countries, with the active co-operation of Japan & the E.U., both democratically disposed, can hurt China, with disastrous consequences.
 
A  joint Indo-U.S. military "gilli-danda" will also add plenty of grist to the Marxist and Sullahs/Dullahs propaganda mills, and raise their credibility with their rank and file.
 
What really got my goat was, that in the last few weeks the hans have constanly accelarated the tempo of their propaganda through their proxies(read turncoats like Marxist cadres) not only in Nepal, Bhutan, but also in India's West Bengal and Kerala.
My Malayalee friend tells me, that the Marxist papers, in Kerala are urging to put pressure on the Central Govt. to "settle" for a  "deal" on a package basis on all Sino-Indian matters. Meaning there is lot for India to give in, and never take anything in return, for a lasting peace on the Himalayan borders(read abandon those peices of real estate) and deal with the Pak-shaittaanis single-handedly.

China building military force to challenge
 

An increasingly wealthy China is now building a military force tailored specifically to challenge any attempt by the United States to intervene in a conflict over Taiwan, Western and Chinese military analysts have said.

The People's Liberation Army, the International Herald Tribune said quoting analysts, is spending heavily on the hardware and technology it needs to keep the United States and its allies at bay.

The Beijing leadership decides it must use force to defeat Taiwan or compel the island's leaders to negotiate.
Without attempting to match the overwhelming US military might, experts told the Tribune, the army has developed a strategy of "area denial," where an array of precision weapons would be deployed in an attempt to keep US forces, particularly aircraft carriers, at a distance for long enough that China could overwhelm Taiwan's defences.

The desire is to wipe out the PLA's top tier forces that are not already dedicated to Taiwan, leaving China with mostly PAP thugs instead of soldiers.  The PAP is not a fighting force as much as it is a suppression force, so cripple the PLA and the PAP forces in Tibet are vulnerable to soldiers backing guerillas.

China is going out of control from within, although they clamp down on political victums, minorities and intellectuals now and then.

They can't control what their population is doing, from poisoned food and water supplies, public beating up their party toadies and tax collectors, public rioting to beat up their police force to burning down hotels. In a sick sense of irony, the communist capitalist nightmare has burst upon them, and they do not know how to control the genie yet alone put it back into the bottle.

Currently within the leadership there seems to be a standoff or impasse between the Peking Duck faction and the Shanghai supprise upstarts.

It is hard to see how the party lines and sabre rattling can be taken too seriously, because there is no longer a supreme autocrat dictator in China but a crazy commision of ruling elites now in factions.

This is exactly what makes commies more dangerous than ever. From the historical perspective, commies launch wars against foreign nations or KMT to sort themselves out. The first example is 1958, when Mao used artillery bombardment of Kinman to show that he's in charge of the PLA after failed economic reform. Then it came 1962, Mao launched another war against India, mostly in order to divert pulic opinion and commie internal struggle against him, after even worse failure of communist reform that caused at least 60 million deaths by starvation. Then he launched an armed conflict with Russians  over a small island in between the Manchurian border river in 1969, during the height of the infamous Cultural Revolution. Deng didn't forget the lesson, so he launched a war against Vietnam in 1979 to consolidate his power before he can push for economic reform.
So, whenever commie leaders are in serious trouble, they will export their trouble to others by making a war. Internally, those who oppose the regime or commies who aspire to take over control of the PLA will be pushed aside during the war, than brutally persecuted.

It is easier said than done in wiping out any cadre of the PLA. The Han seems to impenetrably, monolithic, in the words of a seasoned diplomat cum China watcher. The Hans took more than plentiful time and beating, to reach the top, and, are determined to stay put there for a long while.
 
The Chinese government have come to the inescapable inference, that it is the brutal force of the regimental society that can enforce the cast-iron nerve in all it's cadres.
 
What is China? Nothing but a slave-labour built prosperity oriented collective enforcement. And the common folks of China will always gladly buckle under any and every despotic overtures of the slave-driving masters calling their shots from Beijing.
No, ifs or buts.
 
Are there any reformation in China, towards an egalitarian society? Hell, no! Whatever semblence of a civil society exhibits are posted for the outside world, is purely an eye-wash. A case in point: Long term prisoners are made to forego healthy kidneys and any suitable organ fit for transplant
 
Hence, the only way to neutralize the Chinese syndrome, will be to find the chinks it's seeming impenetrable armour, by what the experts call, The Method of Methods, a.k.a. by trial and error in hoi polloi.
 
So what say you folks?

This is so not true. You Indians are lucky to have British colonialists v.s. Ghandi senario, but all we Chinese people had are scums after scums, and the new one worse than the previous one. Were it not commies, China would have been a different place.
