We need to understand their expansionist mindset to comprehend threat arising from the northern dragon...they continue to arm & support not just Pakistan but Maoist / Naxalite problem and other NE terror groups are also in touch with Beijing. We need caution while dealing with the hidden snake in the grass that is China.<br />Madhur KaickerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180317575289736829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-15363716571889961872012-06-06T00:26:18.503-07:002012-06-06T00:26:18.503-07:00@Raman :
Brilliant article as always, some comme...@Raman :<br /><br /><br />Brilliant article as always, some comments though :<br /><br />0)I think you are being very mild by describing what the Chinese are doing online as simple ``cyber activism" I would call it cyber terrorism or at the least cyber crime - sabotage, espionage, theft, disabling servies cannot be described as mere activism. Or were you thinking of using the word ``hacktivism" and did a typo?<br /><br />1)I also think giving Pakistan the benefit of the doubt and using the term ``Non state actors" should be avoided on our part. It just gives Pakistan a bigger rock behind which they can hide.<br /><br />2)Lastly, this article would have more perspective if the fact that China helped Pakistan's nuclear and missile programs even to the extent of giving warhead designes was mentioned. This has been the singular event for which China must be held accountable for it changed all the dynamics vis a vis Pakistan. Our thinking vis a vis China must always consider this fact and our future strategic formulations must take this action into account while planning things vis a vis China.Vihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070322968053641544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-31545132811300223002012-06-05T23:27:29.431-07:002012-06-05T23:27:29.431-07:00Right from the moment Pakistan came into existance...Right from the moment Pakistan came into existance,they have seen India as a threat to its existance/survival as a nation.This feeling got strengthened after India helped creation of Bangla Desh.The powers that are in Pakistan blame India for all their ills.Infact,the entire thinking is based on how to get even with India even if it means cutting their nose to spite us.Infact they have precisely doing that all the while little realising that it has almost destroyed them.<br />Unlike Pakistan, the Chinese are cool,pragmatic, rational thinkers and every step they take is well thought out.<br />Without minimising the risk from China,I would think that while their position vis a vis our country can be logically determined,no one ca say what a frustrated,emotional Pakistan would do next.It would not surprise me if tomorrow under the influence of their extreme elements they may be take desperate steps like using a Nuclear Bomb against us.<br />I therefore would support the stand of the conservative old school of thought rather the relaxed new school which thinks that Pakistan will be a lesser threat.<br />We have to be vigilant against both the countries but more against Pakistan which is tottering and can do anythink as a desperate act.Krishna Kackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499575868847517118noreply@blogger.com
