Is it now time to slay the Chinese Dragon? The long and short answer is obviously yes. However, there are many ways in which India can facilitate a lesson that must be taught to the Chinese dictatorship. I separate the Chinese dictatorship from the Chinese people to the extent that the fundamental blame for the atrocities committed by China today are at the behest of the former rather than the latter.
China is not as united as you might think. It if formed of many distinct historical self-identifyingregions that have been subjugated over a period of time through mass murder, genocide and cultural rape. The internal tensions within China are a lot more profound than what most might think today.
China has made huge progress over the past three decades in terms of its industrial and technological strength. It has become the supplier of almost everything to the world,and at a price that undercuts every other nation. It has built its thriving economy on the money it has earned from other nations. In fact, by so doing it hasunwittinglycreated its greatest weakness.
China has fallen out with most decent democracies around the world. The USA has more than one axe to grind with them. The UK with the fiasco unfolding in Hong Kong. Tibet and Taiwan want to be free of their dictator master. The Islamic world has been shamed because Chine has 1.2 m Muslims in detention camps. Add to that the fact that for many China is now the incubator of lethal viruses that are either designed or emerge due to their negligence. The African nations who saw China as a saviour are now learning the cost of their short-termism. Japan and South Korea have an instinctive dislike for the Chinese. The list is much longer but suffice to say, there is now sufficient momentum to bring like-minded countries together to put a block to this tyrant nation.
To slay the Chinese dragon, India, USA and UK need to lead a co-ordinated fight to starve China of its markets. We the people of these free nations also need to do our bit, next time you wish to buy something just have a think. Maybe there is an alternative, even a bit more expensive, but maybe by our choice we can affect change. If Governments and the people work together,we have the collective power to bring China to its knees.
The transgressions India sees from China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), or its stealth support to the terrorist state of Pakistan can be met with lethal force. And where there is direct interaction at the LAC, India should always be ready to deliver an overpowering response. However, whilst the option of an all-out war to an aggressor can never be off the table, I believe cutting this dragon down via economic warfare might be a better solution.
Let the USA, UK and India be the lead nations totake the necessary steps to cripple the markets that China depends on. At the same time, why not recognise Tibet, Taiwan and Hongkong as independent nations? Yes, there will be pain on our side as well, but trust me, in comparison to what China will be feeling, it will be nothing. The process has started with some action from the USA and India. However, much more needs to be done and quickly.
It's time to free the enslaved in China, and free this world of a tyrant dictatorship.
