Sir — This refers to the editorial, “The Chinese face-off” (July 6). It is unfortunate that time and again China creates troubles for India at the border to destroy peace. The latest one to achieve the same is the construction of a road in Dokalam. Chinese troops bulldosed an Indian Army bunker. Chinese troops even stopped a batch of Indian pilgrims proceeding on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. In Arunachal Pradesh, they create problems frequently. The worst was the reminder of the India-China war of 1962.
China is working hand-in-hand gloves with Pakistan as it has an eye on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Middle Kingdom directly or indirectly supports Pakistan on the Kashmir issue too. China’s attitude towards India has not changed since the Sino-Indian war of 1962. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit did not show any positive attitude of China towards India. Beijing can take the liberty to create problems for India and can have a win-win situation, forgetting that if India repays, it would be hell for the neighbouring countries who are creating troubles at the border.
