Chanakya's View: Why is Delhi so eager to kowtow to Beijing?

Deccan Chronicle  

In diplomacy, foolhardiness is as damaging as pusillanimity. As a result, the Tibetan government-in-exile has cancelled two events in New Delhi — one, an inter-faith prayer meeting at Rajghat; and two, a “Thank You India” function, which has been shifted to Dharamsala. On Arunachal Pradesh, which is undeniably a part of India, but which China continues to designate as disputed and calls “South Tibet”, the Chinese have been unrelentingly intimidating. Earlier this year, China appeared to be a little “nice” to us at the Financial Action Task Force meeting in Paris, by withdrawing its opposition to a US proposal to place Pakistan on the FATF’s watchlist of countries with financial links to terrorism. But China plays this game of aggression and conciliation as part of a strategic plan, and support to Pakistan, notwithstanding this “concession”, will remain an integral part of its policy to contain India.
