Apologies if it was posted earlier! Quite old but gives an insight into official PRC media and its worldview based on 'hurt feelings' and following it up with 'teaching lessons'.

Mapping the hurt feelings of the Chinese people

How many times have the Chinese people's feelings been hurt, anyway? Blogger FangKC searched through the electronic archives of the People's Daily between 1946 and 2006 and discovered that 19 countries and organizations have been accused of hurting the feelings of the Chinese people:

1. Japan: 47 times, starting in 1985
2. USA: 23 times, starting in 1980, when Los Angeles flew the ROC flag
3. NATO: 10 times, mostly relating to the 1999 Belgrade embassy bombing
4. India: 7 times, starting in 1986 and mostly relating to border issues
5. France: 5 times, starting in 1989

Congratulations India for featuring in the top 5. Why are Russia and South Korea missing and why is Vietnam at lowly 13th position?

oh No, China is holding US Treasury notes in billions of dollars, if it dumps them US economy would go for a toss.But so would Chinsese economy as US is major partner in exim trade with China (BOP favours china). Millions of Chinese depend on the export of cheap,substandard Chinese goods to US.
So any reaction other than loud noise would not be coming from China. :

I am well aware of the obvious. You have pointed out the consequences if China dumps the dollars.
The fact remains China cannot dump the dollar in the real world. China is very insecure internally, no export, no jobs and hence internal problems.
Apart talking tough there nothing the Chinese can do. Let me know when they take on the USA and NATO.
Anyway it’s good for India if they both fall out.

Development With Tibetan Characteristics :: Beijing's plan to throw money at the problem won't work. - By BEN HILLMAN

The problems are not just economic. The historically unprecedented movement of non-Tibetans into Tibetan cities and towns has fueled Tibetans' insecurity about the future of their homeland's ethnic distinctiveness. Even many Tibetans on the state payroll fear that their cultural heritage and way of life are under threat. Their fears are compounded by national and local government policies that seek to curtail the influence of organized Tibetan Buddhism by placing restrictions on religious practices and monastic life—a cornerstone of Tibetan cultural identity.

Unfortunately, Beijing continues to insist that ethnic tensions are the result of meddling by "separatist forces led by the Dalai clique." Conveniently, this allows China's leaders to divert attention away from critical domestic policy failures

China bugging UK businessmen, says MI5

The Chinese government is not only hacking into computers but also bugging, burgling and blackmailing British business executives in search of commercial secrets, the British intelligence agency was quoted saying on Sunday.

The British newspaper Sunday Times quoted a secret MI5 document as saying spies from the Chinese army and public security ministry approach British businessmen with offers of gifts, including cameras and memory sticks that have been found to contain electronic bugs which provide the Chinese remote access to users' computers. The MI5 says the Chinese government constitutes "one of the most significant espionage threats to the UK".

The newspaper said a 14-page document, written by the MI5's Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, catalogues Chinese hacking attacks on British defence, energy, communications and manufacturing companies. Any British company might be at risk if it holds information which would benefit the Chinese, the Sunday Times report said.

China has occasionally attempted sexual entrapment to target senior British political figures. Two years ago an aide to Gordon Brown had his BlackBerry phone stolen after being picked up by a Chinese woman who had approached him in a Shanghai disco.

The report said that the practice has now extended to commercial espionage. It said that Chinese agents are trying to cultivate "long-term relationships" with the employees of key British companies: "An undercover intelligence officer may try to develop a friendship or business relationship, often using lavish hospitality and flattery".

"Chinese intelligence services have also been known to exploit vulnerabilities such as sexual relationships and illegal activities to pressurise individuals to co-operate with them", the report added.

U.S. Arms for Taiwan Send Beijing a Message from NYT
From that article -

some administration officials suggested privately that the timing of the arms sales and the tougher language on Iran was calculated to send a message to Beijing to avoid assumptions that President Obama would be deferential to China over American security concerns and existing agreements.

Twice, the Chinese prime minister, Wen Jiabao, sent an underling to represent him at meetings with Mr. Obama, in what diplomats said was an intentional snub. Mr. Obama later had to track down Mr. Wen, surprising him and appearing at the doorway of a conference room where Mr. Wen was meeting with the leaders of South Africa, Brazil and India.

he planned to double American exports in the next five years, an ambitious goal that cannot be met unless he somehow persuades China to let its currency appreciate, making Chinese products more expensive in the United States and American products more affordable in China.

The present Chinese Red Army think democracy will weaken their nation, their governance and their level of marxian sharing (basically bread and soup - so basic needs and keep everthing else out of reach - because of the cost for the masses). If you have money you can have two children or more if not. They seem to be the worst capitalist using marxian ideology and a red army to control their government. If they democratise their country I think people's trust in each other will increase. Ofcouse for a decade of issues such as poverty and pulling together will be there but then people will come up on their own as a nation of nations with strength and faith in everyone and so in diversity of voices and parties even at par with many Western nations. But The present army holds blockade towards such a freedom and such a development of the China as a nation.

India should be pragmatic about it's national interests and act accordingly. There is no pro/against anyone, it should always be pro-Indian.

These alliances must be issue based and must be built on win-win approaches.

If they behave towards India in an arrogant and disrespectful way, then they would be doing India a big favor, because there would be no illusions about their true nature. If they are acting all sweet and flattering to the Indian elites, that's when we have to worry.

Question is what do we intend to learn by changing our strategy.

IMO there are only one truth:

PRC is a strategic compitor at best and may partner with India only when it serves it's national interests.

If we agree with this positioning statement; India can focuson the issues that may present some value to PRC and partner wih it on those specific issues.

On every other issue, calculate for PRC nuicense value and prepare for Hun surprises.

Yes India should keep its powder dry. Trying to be friend is better than conflict or war. This however doesn’t mean we should trust China, Pakistan or any other power.
We should not get involved if USA and China wants to fight it out.
The West never cared about India, but soon as their citizens are killed or they are in conflict with another nation. They seem to make it like the world is coming to an end, so we should help.
There are two sayings; one is Italian the other French. “Let your mouth move while talking, but never let your mind be open to your opponent. Treat all foreigners as your enemy, until you get to know them better.”
With China [and Pakistan], aggression by diplomacy, keep strengthen the armed forces, duplicity.
This time India might have to fight on two fronts. Chinese’s populations is getting old and Tibet is its Achilles heel.

China Rejects Demands for Greater Tibetan Autonomy

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/world ... tibet.html

Chinese officials have rejected demands by the Dalai Lama that Tibetan areas of China receive greater autonomy and be governed as a single region, Xinhua, the state news agency, reported Monday.

The report came after days of meetings in China between Chinese officials and two envoys of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetans, who lives in exile in India. During the talks, a senior Chinese official, Du Qinglin, told the envoys that the concept of a “Greater Tibet” and “high-level autonomy” violated the Chinese Constitution, Xinhua reported. Mr. Du insisted that talks would progress “only if the Dalai Lama completely abandoned such claims,” according to the report.

The Tibetan envoys could not be reached for comment. They returned to India early Monday, according to Chhime R. Chhoekyapa, the Dalai Lama’s secretary, The Associated Press reported.

No Autonomy for Tibet --says china

There were signs that the 9th round of talks got deadlocked in almost the same manner it did during the 8th round 15 months back. ...the envoys Lodi G. Gyari and Envoy Kelsang Gyaltsen, who left for China on January 25, have returned....

...the envoys had presented a "Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People" at the earlier round of talks 15 months back. The “memorandum puts forth Tibetan people's aspiration for genuine autonomy” and explained how it was possible to allow self-government to Tibetans within the Chinese constitution.

"Tibetan people cherish peace and stability. It is no use to cheat them and act against their will. The activities of infiltration and provocation, which are doomed to fail, will only create barriers for the talks and isolate the Dalai Lama and his followers," the official statement quoted Du as saying.

Only if the Dalai Lama completely abandoned claims of greater autonomy that a foundation for further contacts and negotiations can be laid, the department said in a statement. The talks can make no progress if the Dalai Lama’s persisted on their anti-China activities and refused to show basic respect and sincerity, Du said.

China discussing with envoys of HH DL ... does it mean that Tibet issue is very much open and alive, even in Chinese eyes?

“This growing influence, combined with democratic values it shares with the United States, an open political system, and a commitment to global stability, will present many opportunities for cooperation,” it said.

“India’s military capabilities are rapidly improving through increased defence acquisitions and they now include long-range maritime surveillance, maritime interdiction and patrolling, air interdiction and strategic airlift,” the report noted.

“India has already established its worldwide military influence through counter piracy, peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief efforts. As its military capabilities grow, India will contribute to Asia as a net provider of security in the Indian Ocean and beyond,” report said.

On the other hand, the report expressed concerns over the lack of Chinese transparency over its military development. “The US welcomes a strong, prosperous, and successful China that plays a greater global role. However, lack of transparency and the nature of China’s military development and decision-making processes raise legitimate questions about its future conduct and intentions within Asia and beyond,” the report said.

....the lack of any positive results causes re-evals in DC as it re-learns age-old wisdom that bullies simply can't be appeased (QED by construction).....

Power and fear from China - S Prasannarajan in India Today

Always liked SP's writing style. Written substance, not so much.

The Chinese growth story--the story of our times--has always been about the clash between marketplace and mind space. Well, there will be any number of Sinologists to tell you that it has nothing to do with communism and everything to do with Confucius. Or with what the residents of Zhongnanhai call Chinese characteristics. There are so many euphemisms to name the beast.
The truth is: China lives in mortal fear of its own shadow.
Mao may be confined to the souvenir shop and Big Marx may be less ubiquitous than Big Mac but the awesome Chinese project is built on a Leninist party structure which abhors questions--and knowledge. It's the oldest fear of a system that treats its people as an abstraction-- the masses. It's the fear that authored Mao's Cultural Revolution, Stalin's Great Terror, and Deng's Tiananmen Square. The continuing Chinese story of free markets and fettered mind tells us that we have not come very far. It's not that China will win this war against the Internet--or information. It can't. This war of the paranoid brings out the fallibility of the power that, in the fantasy of those who celebrate the demise of the West, aspires to rule the world. Sometime in the future, a Google search will bring up the defeat of the last Big Lie through a billion results.

My beef is with the bolded part.
How does the author know for sure? Everything has a shelf life and will die eventually. Big deal, so what?
I fail to see how the grand assumption here - that China's 'system' is doomed to fail - has to hold due to some law of nature only. Sadly, nature provides no such comfort. Mass-murderers and genociders in the past haven't always failed. Their descendants rule entire continents today (N Amerika, Aus.). Don't see why Chinese barbarism is uniquely destined to fail only.
Just my 2 paise only. Happy to be proven wrong on this one.

Cracking Chimerica Dhruva Jaishankar in the IE
While concluding, he says -

The volte face by the US on China will almost certainly have implications for India’s relationships with both countries, as it would in any such strategic triangle. New Delhi will now face critical choices in coming months on a range of issues, but it is unlikely that a single formula will guide it through what could be a turbulent period....The Indian leadership was quick to anticipate the possibility of a closer US-China relationship, and the implications it would have for Indian interests. It must now be equally nimble in reacting to what could well be a nasty break-up.

Strange how democratic presidents end up doing exact opposite of what they promised once they come to power - Clinton wanted to be firm with 'tyrants in Beijing' but ended up bowing to them, Obama started off with a big bow and now has suddenly developed self-respect and grown b..s.

Having made so much noise, Beijing will look silly if Obama meets DL and rubs it home by giving F16 to Taiwan on top of existing supplies. Domestic politics and low ratings plus disasters in healthcare front will force him to do that. Keeping up with rhetoric will force Beijing to act...

Interestingly though, our other diplomatic posts treat people of Taiwanese birth who have acquired other citizenships at par with people of Chinese birth, and subject them to additional scrutiny. The additional scrutiny is a fine idea, but we might send an interesting message by offering, in formal terms, distinct treatment to people of Taiwanese birth...
