'Nervous' China may attack India by 2012, claims defence expert

Quote:
A leading defence expert has projected that China will attack India by 2012 to divert the attention of its own people from "unprecedented" internal dissent, growing unemployment and financial problems that are threatening the hold of Communists in that country. "China will launch an attack on India before 2012. There are multiple reasons for a desperate Beijing [Images] to teach India the final lesson, thereby ensuring Chinese supremacy in Asia in this century," Bharat Verma, Editor of the Indian Defence Review, has said.

Verma said the recession has "shut the Chinese exports shop", creating an "unprecedented internal social unrest" which in turn, was severely threatening the grip of the Communists over the society. Among other reasons for this assessment were rising unemployment, flight of capital worth billions of dollars, depletion of its foreign exchange reserves and growing internal dissent, Verma said in an editorial in the forthcoming issue of the premier defence journal. In addition to this, "The growing irrelevance of Pakistan, their right hand that operates against India on their behest, is increasing the Chinese nervousness," he said, adding that US President Barak Obama's [Images] Af-Pak policy was primarily Pak-Af policy that has "intelligently set the thief to catch the thief".

Verma said Beijing was "already rattled, with its proxy Pakistan now literally embroiled in a civil war, losing its sheen against India." "Above all, it is worried over the growing alliance of India with the US and the West, because the alliance has the potential to create a technologically superior counterpoise. "All these three concerns of Chinese Communists are best addressed by waging a war against pacifist India to achieve multiple strategic objectives," he said.

While China "covertly allowed" North Korea to test underground nuclear explosion and carry out missile trials, it was also "increasing its naval presence in South China Sea to coerce into submission those opposing its claim on the Sprately Islands," the defence expert said. He said it would be "unwise" at this point of time for a recession-hit China to move against the Western interests, including Japan [Images]. "Therefore, the most attractive option is to attack a soft target like India and forcibly occupy its territory in the Northeast," Verma said. But India is "least prepared" on ground to face the Chinese threat, he says and asks a series of questions on how will India respond to repulse the Chinese game plan or whether Indian leadership would be able to "take the heat of war".

"Is Indian military equipped to face the two-front wars by Beijing and Islamabad [Images]? Is the Indian civil administration geared to meet the internal security challenges that the external actors will sponsor simultaneously through their doctrine of unrestricted warfare? "The answers are an unequivocal 'no'. Pacifist India is not ready by a long shot either on the internal or the external front," the defence journal editor says. In view of the "imminent threat" posed by China, "the quickest way to swing out of pacifism to a state of assertion is by injecting military thinking in the civil administration to build the sinews. That will enormously increase the deliverables on ground -- from Lalgarh to Tawang," he says.

well now i see...its not the pole shift, aliens or any supernatural stuff....the humans themselves destroy their own future...offtopic: there are a lots of theories about the world's end, the best example is the mayans calendar which ends in the year 2012, another famous prediction was done by a reasearcher Terence McKenna who used the "I ching" (A method used to predict future), then put all the predictions on the graph which ends at the year 2012, the graph has perfectly shown the dates of the world war1 and 2 and few other stuff....here the link abt Iching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpbV-mJnHNA ........one more theory says about the aliens, an alien king named "Anunnaki" came to the earth long time back and found out the gold mines in Africa(I mean now we call it africa), then they decided to create another race (like slaves), so they used anunnaki's DNA and applied it on the homo erectus species, which lead to the creation of the first human, as the population started growing and was getting out of control, the aliens decided to destroy the human race and saw that natural destructions are gonna occur in the future and they left (i know it sounds bit stupid, but thats what i've read)...i guess they have foreseen 2012.??...........sorry for my english

This gotta be the news of the day. Its there on all major websites. IMO we rather be alert than be complacent . You can't trust these guys. You never know what goes behind those iron curtains.

But then we have MNS , Muthalik (remember? )and Shiv Sena. These guys are more effective then any AK-47s. They even give our black cats a run for their money!!!

what has china-india war got to do with the end of the world...december 2012 doomsday is not the end of the world...its just that the mayan calendar expires by then.....I do not see any war breaking out with china before 2012...I do not see any country risking a war now under any circumstances...

The Mayans had to stop drawing up a calendar sometime. They probably just thought 2012 was sufficiently far into the future to serve their immideate needs.

i have to disagree with that anorion.
most old civilizations see time as a cycles like sequence of events repeats in cycles
the mayans didn't say that the world will end in 2012, that is just a conspiracy theory
and if you have paid attention to some of these folks you will know it is a big industry where a lot of money is made and tv shows are also the same
they also said world will end in 97 with the approach of the comet hale bopp and there was a big space ship toed to the comet that will invade the earth
these kind of things are going on for more than 50 years......

@iinfi
i don't think india is a threat to china
china is a big player with far better economy and military when compared to india they also have their own problem with tibet and taiwan so i don't see indo-china war as a possibility.

@awww... clarifying here... it was a lame attempt at a joke, which I've read somewhere. Didn't say Mayans calculated the end of the world, just said they stopped calculating their calendar. BTW, cyclic dating involves some kind of an apocalypse at the end, including the Hindu/Vedic calendar. I don't believe in the 2012/2020 theories.

I feel that these predictions and prophecies are like numerology... so many dating systems and stuff that almost anything can be read as anything else. The Mayans didn't have a single calendar, they had multiple ones across the ages, based on the Sun, The Moon, Venus, and "important events" in their history. Co-relating any single one of these calendars to the one that we use is a dubious process in itself.
