The World is disgustingly curious about China and India is no
exception. India curiosity is more psychological and actuated by copious
provocative incursions across the LAC. Imbued by
its dominating disposition, China of late has been repeatedly lashing at the
LAC creating a reign of terror. India’s cozy relationship with Japan irked
China. It feared that strong Indo-Japanese ties could circumvent its ascendancy.
While Prime Minister Modi serenaded President Xi Jiang on his visit to India
and extended royal hospitality, Chinese troops laid seize across the LAC (Line of
Actual Control). The overt belligerence under the mask of extending business
investments during the bilateral visit blatantly exposed the diabolical stance
of China.
The comprehensive subtler caliginous goal of the dragon is to
establish a new world order. Emboldened by its robust economy and envious
growth rates over a period of three decades, its imperialistic traits are now
apparent. It’s on a mission to assert itself as a super power and prevail over
Asia.
Shangai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) mirrors ambitions of
China to build a dominant security block on par with the acclaimed NATO.
Incidentally the meets of these two organisations were held in a gap of 20
days. NATO’s Summit concluded in Wales, New Zealand while the six member
countries of SCO- Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia and
China met at the 14th Annual Summit in Dushanbe, capital of Tajikistan.
During the summit, members unanimously decided to expand the organisation. Accordingly, observers of the group Mongolia
and Afghanistan were given first priority to join SCO as members. In the
meanwhile, China invited India, Pakistan and Iran to be its members, who in turn
are keen to join the group. Iran’s membership will be under scrutiny since it
is facing UN sanctions. The West is imminently worried with this move as its strong
hold in Asia might decline if India and Pakistan join the group. China is intent
on defying the US-led world order sooner than later. Dragon is busy wooing
smaller nations and trying to bring them under its fold under a multitude of partnerships.
SCO’s accomplices insist that the main objective of their partnership is to
combat three evils: terrorism, separatism and extremism. Along these lines
China recently conducted a joint military exercise or rather anti-terrorist
drill in Inner Mongolia with its personnel.
Because of its growing presence and commercial clout China is
able to secure the cooperation of the Central Asian local authorities in
successfully deporting illegal migrants mostly the Uighurs through Laos and
Thailand. Through a series of rendition agreements, China is wielding control
in this region and slowly turning itself into regional security block. With NATO
forces exiting Afghanistan by the end of 2014 growing uncertainties might force
India
and Pakistan to seriously consider joining SCO. China is aiming to head one
more organisation named Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures
in Asia (CICA). Though cohesion among members in organisations led by China is
doubtful, it is intent on promoting itself by building various institutions.
Fortified by Russia’s persistence China vigorously pursued
the proposal of developing BRICS New Development Bank and a Development Fund on
par with the World Bank and IMF to counterbalance the West. China even plans to
launch a multilateral Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as an
alternative to the US and Japan controlled Asia Development Bank (ADB).
Infrastructure development is a major task among the developing nations in Asia
and a promise of financing such projects will interest countries like India. In spite of mutual distrust and border
disputes India is leaning to join the new bank which would start with a capital
of $50 billion from member countries. Under the banner of Maritime Silk Route
(MSR), China is trying to ally with countries in the South East Asia, West
Asia, South Asia and Africa to build a network
of port cities along the route linked to the economic hinterland of China.
China also has a heady role in a trilateral commission (presently languishing)
between South Korea and Japan and a Regional Comprehensive Economic
Partnership.
With its
dominance in a spectrum of organisation China is nurture its economic and
strategic capabilities. In varied multilateral organisations with its
overbearing role China is slowly but stealthily wresting control over the
World. By the time world could wake up to its mess, it might have had created a
new order.
