2. The way around China 24.8.17 by G Parthasarathy http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/comment/the-way-around-china/456447.html
Across India's eastern shores, China has outmanoeuvred the US, Japan and India by strengthening its political and economic influence in the economic and political policies of Aung San Suu Kyi. It is set to build the strategic port of Kyaukpyu in the Bay of Bengal, while shaping its maritime silk road by taking over Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka. Riding on hubris, China, however, gravely miscalculated what the response of India and Bhutan would be to its intrusion in Doklam.
In the meantime, imaginative diplomacy is required to ensure China is given a face-saving way out from its present predicament.'

Pyongyang is attempting to split the U.S. from its allies and partners. Ri promised explicitly in a recent statement that no other countries will be targeted by the North's nuclear weapons, unless they join a U.S.-led military attack.

10. India shouldn't see Nepal's economy as a strategic battlefield against China's influence 23.8.17 http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1062835.shtml
'If India puts the wrong geopolitical interpretation on economic cooperation between China and Nepal, it will pay a heavy price to win support from the smaller Himalayan country. The economic strength of India, whose GDP is about just one-fifth of that of China, may not be enough to win the competition against China in striving for Nepal's support.'

India needs to step up support behind the scenes for the Madhesi movement. By lagging in its response to China's aggressiveness, India will only suffer major setbacks on its vital security frontiers. Almost no Chinese live anywhere near the Nepal or India borders, but a huge number of Indians live near the border with Tibet. We have to take an aggressive stance to defend ourselves and our basic interests, and we have to leverage the age-old cultural ties among Indians, Nepalese, Bhutanese and Tibetans. The Chinese must be shown that they are the aliens to the region.
