General Observations on International Affairs.

What explains the rather complicated international and domestic policies of China? The leader Deng Xiaoping was not appreciated in the democratic nations, for the suppression of the Tianamen Square uprising. It was, as if, the democracies expected more, from the leader. What was the preoccupation of the Chinese leaders, during the Tianamen Square uprising? This is very simple, the unity, and integrity of The People's Republic of China. The danger then was, that those provinces of China, which did not have the same view as the Chinese Communist Party, would want to have an independent national identity, apart from China. We must remember, that The People's Republic of China, was formed because of the union of many parts of China, under the Chinese Communist Party. What if the Chinese Communist Party were not to exist? Would the provinces of China, then want independence, apart from the People's Republic of China? Does China have an identity which can unite her, apart from the Chinese Communist Party? Patriotism in China, is identified by patriotism to the form and mode of government. Deng Xiaoping knew, that it was easier to bring economic reforms to The People's Republic of China, than to change the identity of the Chinese state.

On another line of thought, what if India, and China were to resolve all differences, and if India were to be very cordial with the United States? Where would Pakistan be, strategically, without any strategic significance? China does not perhaps, see the consequences of such an instance, but the United States does. Pakistan would have no need for the United States, or China, because the United States or China, would not need Pakistan. What, then? Pakistan deliberately plays on the differences between Pakistan and India. She needs to see the differences between the states of Pakistan, and India. As far as I can see, Pakistan, cannot influence the relation between India, and China, presently, except by putting emphasis on her strained relations with India, vis-a-vis the current relation between India and China, which is not to the advantage of Pakistan, and to the disadvantage of India.
