Abhijit Bhattacharyya | Don’t fall for China ploys; take lessons from Trump

Deccan Chronicle  

The vociferous campaign waged by America’s incoming President Donald Trump to keep illegal foreigners out of the United States, which contributed to his decisive victory in the presidential election earlier this month, should find a lot of resonance in India, which has been having trouble in keeping its land and sovereign territory free from being overrun by outsiders. But sovereignty being indivisible and not divided, how could New Delhi agree to any right to patrol India’s land by both Indian and Chinese soldiers? The large Indian market is a magnet for Beijing’s rulers, with the help of India’s profiteering traders, gullible consumers and monopolistic industry bosses who can’t live without cheap Chinese goods. No wonder that as soon as the Line of Actual Control disengagement was announced, China’s ambassador to India Xu Feihong, speaking at a “business” event in Kolkata, tried to nudge New Delhi to “lift trade curbs on the export of Chinese goods, relax visa norms for Chinese nationals and resume direct flights between India and China”. It's time, therefore, for India to take a lesson or two from Mr Trump’s utterances on China as successive Indian rulers since 1999 have failed to make any headway to reverse the adverse India-China bilateral trade, and the prospect looks dimmer now.
