• Abandon nuclear weapons ?

To ask India to abandon nuclear weapons is the most shameful comment by the Chinese Govt. official.
Before advising India, China should dismantle its own growing stockpile of nuclear weapons and set an example but this is like asking a tiger
to be a vegetarian !
Mr. China how about giving Tibet back
to Tibetans and then we will talk about
dismantling nuclear weapons !

• To hell with China

India should never give an ear to any words of China. It is the most unreliable country after Pakistan. It has done more harms to India than Pakistan. It is behind all the stretegic missiles of Pakistan. It has taken a huge land of ours in 1962 war.
In reply to China's advice India must declare to the world that we have same right of making Nuke weapons as those countries who have signed on NPT. If they are too concerns about nuke weapons, first they must dectroy their own nuke weapons before asking any body else to do so. In fact world-peace has more threat from China and USA than any other country even Pakistan and Iran.

• Look who's talking

China should not talk such bullshit while they are busy arming all our neighbours (against us...) and supplying nuclear weapons to Pak.

It should abandon her own nukes before advising us to do so. No one gave them any special rights.

But overall I think the govt. should ignore their comment in order to show they give them no importance.

In such a situation we, may also end up with "ANOTHER not SO Wooden HORSE from across the HIMALAYA's which may feel "COMPELED and MOTIVATED Enough to Comedown on US "Like A TON of PLUTONIUM" apart from relishing some "KICKS" of its own, before the final DENOUMENT! By the way, one wonders as to " What really happened to the "TRIAD OF INFLUENCE" between RUSSIA, CHINA and Lastly but not Leastly(!) INDIA , which was the "Talk of (all) the Indian Foreign Policy Makers TOWN(s) only an year or so ago as the "WIN-WIN" strategy of Consolidating ASIA, as and for a "BULWARK" against the then "SOUL LESS, SOLE & RAMPAGING SUPER POWER OF THE WORLD" who has now ended up as our MOST INTIMATE LIFE PART-NER!Are any of those planners still around or they believe in DISCRE-TION BEING THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR and Decided to HIDE till BUSH is around!

• Satan quoting scriptures

Great. Look who is quoting the scripture?! The monster aggresor of our northern border, and who destroyed the Tibetan nation and culture is advising us to abandon nukes. Why can't this bamboo tiger do it first? Where are our comrades to advise their source of inspiration?

• China's Reaction!

In the Fifties India got off to a rocky start in her relationship to the United States because of her principled stand in insisting that PRC was the legitimate occupant of the China seat in the Security Council, rather than Taiwan.

In subsequent years China deceived India over her intentions regarding the border issue. This despite India not actively opposing China's forced occupation, some might call it rape, of Tibet. Nehru's death was hastened by his shock and humiliation over the Chinese deception.

China has apparently passed on Nuclear Technology to Pakistan and North Korea, including help with bomb design to Pakistan.

China now has the effrontery to question the agreement between India and the US, which has the support of other nuclear powers and IAEA.

What gall!

• India should hit back

India must simply say, "Shut Up. Mind your own business." In fact it must take the war of words into their camp and talk about these fashionable words of convenience as practiced by Pakistan in Kashmir - "self-determination, human rights violations" in Taiwan and Tibet. Why India should be quiet beats me? How DARE China could even issue such a statement on India? I admire Chinese for their boldness while usually India displays lack of spine. China hits back even at USA.

By the way, I am sure our Communits now wont speak anything on this. If this statement were made by US, there would have been all the usual drama and rightly so. So why not now --- why are Communists so hypocritical? They oppose Bush's visit for no valid reason. They talk of Iraq and Afghanistan where atleast democracies have been installed and peolple voted parties which are of not US liking, but still US kept quiet. In China and Tibet people are killed if they oppose Communist govt, so why not Communists opposed China premier's visit? Well Communism is like a viral disease of mind sometimes whose leaders are more intereted for power than the welfare of country or its people.

• China, set an example

China, why don't you set an example? We have teh right to defend ourselves. What if China attacks us. We may need to nuke Shanghai to defend ourselves. Plus, we are the only country with a no first use policy. I think India should remove that law.

• commie alert!

How come the commies from india, the CPI, CPM and that Karat silent on this issue? Because they are chinese agents. They would love to sell india to china. For them only patriotism is anti-US and pro china. India doesn't come in calculation. Why don't they go and live in Beijing and preach Hu Jintao about how bad capitalism is?
