Obama's bid to please China

On the one hand the US holds India as strategic ally in Asia and brings China in the picture to extend support for improving the relations between India and Pakistan unnecessarily.It has upset India because question here arises that who is US to say that China should play a role in bringing peace between India and Pakistan and stability in South Asia. While India has already made clear that the role of third party between India and Pakistan is out of question. Both India and Pakistan are capable of resolving all disputes bilaterally. In his current visit of the US President Barack Hussain Obama to China has recognised China as the biggest power in Asia and goaded it to be a player in establishing peace between India and Pakistan, while being well aware that India has stated position that any matter between Pakistan and India can be only discussed bilaterally . India can not tolerate any outside interference in the peace process with Pakistan. India is very clear on the issue. US also knows that China is also playing major role in Pakistan. China extends vital support to Pakistan in its armament and building of nuclear weapons. It is also no secret that China is one of the two giants in Asia. It is not that China is supreme in Asia and it has competitor in India. India has rightly told the US that China is not needed in South Asia.US President Obama has stated that Tibet is the integral part of China, ignoring the violations of Human Rights in Tibet brazenly by it. China has annexed Tibet by the might of its military, and thousands of Tibetans and their spiritual leader Dalai Lama have been forced to flee Tibet. Uprisings in Tibet were crushed forcibly. Obama has not made any mention of the thousands Tibetans who have been living in India as refugees for years. It is only because the US wants to keep Beijing in good humoour so that it could face no opposition in establishing its presence in Asia. Obama's remarks that US and China would support any move that leads to the establishment of peace between India and Pakistan have upset India. His remarks are uncalled for just before the visit of the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to US. It is well known that India has a principled stand of bilateralism in regard to any talk with Pakistan.India must lodge displeasure with the US for the irrevelant remarks.Though India has come closer to US these days, it must always be alive to its double dealing when its own benefit comes up. US also knows pretty well that it can not have smooth interference amidst the growing Chinese influence on Pakistan. The US must understand that it can not take India for granted. India can not compromise with its principles and opinions on any issue. US always keeps its interest uppermost and when there is a clash of its interest, it can sacrifice any friend however close it may be. So, India must always be alive to US move.
