Part of the problem emerges from the fact that ADB does not have a policy for projects in disputed areas. Being the largest donor after US and Japan to the Bank, China is clearly using its clout. India, which is only next to China, will have to lean on the US and Japan along with South Korea to get its way.

India's China headeache!By: Tenzin | 17-May-2009 Reply | Forward The crux of India's headeache with China on the Arunachal issue if the Tibet problem. The reason for China claiming Arunachal Pradesh as its own is based on its claim over Tibet, which was actually forcefully invaded in 1959. The 6th Dalai Lama of Tibet was born in the present Arunachal Pradesh state of India and had strong cultural ties with this area. The Chinese line of reasoning goes like this: Since Dalai Lama is a spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, and Tibet is "part of China", AP has to be part of China. It is in India's interest to take active part in resolving the Tibet issue if it were to resolve its border problem with China once and for all.

MrBy: Gram Massla | 16-May-2009 Reply | Forward The root of this problem lies in Tibet. The Chinese claim on Tibet comes with the advent of Kublai Khan, a Mongol, when he incorporated Tibet under the Chinese realm, the rest of the Mongol empire being divided into other realms. Since then Tibet has been nominally independent, autonomous or under direct Bejing rule, depending on the various dynaties that ruled China.The Chinese, to tell the world that Tibet is hstorically theirs and that under no circumstances will they allow secession, reacts in a pretentiously fierce manner in response to any dispute concerning the boundary abuttng Tibet and to convince the world of this charade. Consider, if you will,that in Tibet the Hans are thousands of kilometers away from their habitat. In this they are no better than the Anglo-Saxon, and a nation of expansive colonialists that seeks to consolidate what they have conquered. Inda now faces the brunt of this attitude.

ADB loan for ArunachalBy: magic | 15-May-2009 Reply | Forward Arunachal Pradesh is a part of India and that will stay aslong as India want IT. Just get rid of China!!!Kick China and the Chinese out of Indian soil. And start EDUCATE Indians along the borders. Action, creation, keep moving.

India-China faceoffBy: Srinivasan Ranganathan | 15-May-2009 Reply | Forward India is and will continue to be bullied by China at every stage only because we have had neither developed rapidly nor have we sought the clout with US so that our interests are taken care by them. We have had leaders who can at best be given a C minus for the way they have brought the country to its present state after 60 years of independance. One may argue that we are better than what we were when we got our freedom. Sadly enough, we are worse off. On one side Pakistan wants Kashmir, on the other China wants Arunachal Pradesh. On the third front we do not have good relations with Bangladesh or Nepal or Sri Lanka.
