Several recent reports about China-Centric activities have come to light, that seem to merge in significance from slightly different angles.

First, from Reddiff, China should break up India: Chinese strategist.

The punch line in the article has been that to split India, China can bring into its fold countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan, support ULFA in attaining its goal for Assam’s independence, back aspirations of Indian nationalities like the Tamils and Nagas, encourage Bangladesh to give a push to the independence of West Bengal and lastly recover the 90,000 sq km territory in southern Tibet.

I recommend reading it all.

Then, in July there was a report from the South Asia Analysis Group, CHINA: Back to Containing India? Take note this article’s title ends with a question mark.

Therefore, clearly a very serious effort at forming a China-Nepal-Pakistan trilateral is in the offing. This alliance covers India from the North-West to the East at the Eastern sector of the Sino-Indian border. During the BNP-Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI) government in Bangladesh from 2001-2006, the China-Pakistan-Bangladesh nexus against India started flourishing. With the debacle of the BNP-JEI alliance at the 2008 December elections, the anti-India agenda has been broken with the Awami League in power. But that is not the last word. Beijing continues to worm its way into Bangladesh. During the BNP-JEI government China, Bangladesh and Pakistan entered into an agreement to coordinate their intelligence operations in India.

As India is a growing economic power in the region, the threat to China’s hegemony in this region is genuine. For China to project power beyond its own sphere of influence, it must first gain control of the region in which it exists.

That India is a strong ally of the U.S., we must continue to support them to thwart China’s ambitions, not only for their own good, but for ours and the worlds.

With China vulnerable to internal strife of its own, those vulnerabilities should be exploited now, while China is struggling to maintain the growth in its economy it must have to keep its citizens from demanding change.

In that vein, another article highlighted how China is struggling to do just that, and once again shows that China doesn’t support free markets, just profitable industries that serve the Communist agenda.
The Deeper Level Of The China-Rio Affair.

Since the global financial crisis hit China hard a year ago, economic policy has become a national security concern for Beijing. The party’s legitimacy to rule is predicated on its continued delivery of rising living standards to all Chinese. The global recession has made that more difficult. Increasing incidents of social instability have further rattled a Beijing already concerned about the growing wealth gap between urban rich and rural poor. Hence the importance of restoring at least 8% GDP growth this year.

The Hu-Wen leadership is counting down to the 2012 end of its 10 years in office, and succession battles anywhere can open unexpected fronts in the in-fighting. National security has always had a broader interpretation in China than in other large economies and has a long history of being deployed for political purposes.

If ever there was a convergence of need and opportunity for striking at China’s internal vulnerabilities, that time is now.
Former President Bush and his administration recognized the growing China threat, and was successful in ending decades of distrust between the U.S. and India, to counter this threat.
Unfortunately, we currently have an administration that embraces our enemies and doesn’t view threats at our or global security matters as vital, in comparison with the goal of making this nation as subservient as the Chinese are to the ChiComms.
