Profess bonhomie, talk bilateral ties, but work overtime to break India. That seems to be at the bottom line of China’s India policy. A fact amplified once again by its misadventure at Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh on Monday night,leading to a violent face-off between Indian and Chinese troops inflicting heavy casualties on both sides. The skirmish has left at least 43 Chinese soldiers dead. Twenty Indian soldiers have been martyred.
But behind this planned misadventure on China’s part lies a larger game plan. Cornered on the world stage for misleading other nations on the origin and outbreak of COVID-19, China has conveniently shifted the focus to the border along the LAC, offered tacit support to Nepal over its new political map which includes parts of India’s territory and even offered to pay salaries of teachers who coach Nepalaese children in Chinese.
