Cool! His eldest daughter spoke Mandarin, almost perfectly. 

However, having spent much of their lives in the somewhat reserved Singapore setting, have his daughters seemed to become a little "shy"? :)

~ India's Chinese tea & betting on Tibet ~

Now, here's a reality check for you:

India is home to the world's biggest slave population, by far.

Under the watch of the Dalai Lama, theocratic Tibet was engulfed in serfdom.

A new study published in the Lancet for the first time offers a province-by-province breakdown of China’s health.

The study shows that a baby born in China in 1990 would live on average to the age of 68. One born in 2013 could expect to reach 76, beyond the age at which Confucius said “one can follow one’s heart’s desires—without crossing the line.” There is a large disparity between provinces, but the gap is narrowing.

In Shanghai life expectancy is now 83—as good as Switzerland. People in six areas live longer than Americans.

The most impressive progress has taken place in the most benighted regions: a child in Tibet born in 1990 had a life expectancy of 56, akin to one of the poorest African countries. This has risen to 70, roughly the same as Moldova, one of Europe’s poorer countries.

In his speech at the Lok Sabba in 1954, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, "Over the past several hundred years, as far as I know, at no time has any foreign country denied China's sovereignty over Tibet."

For more than 700 years the central government of China has continuously exercised sovereignty over Tibet, and Tibet has never been an independent state.

Now millions of files in both Chinese and Tibetan recording historical facts over more than seven centuries are being kept in the archives of Beijing, Nanjing and Lhasa.

No government of any country in the world has ever recognized Tibet as an independent state.

British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, in a formal instruction he sent out in 1904, called Tibet "a province of the Chinese Empire."

The Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces used to claim that between the 1911 Revolution and the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Tibet became a country "exercising full authority." Historical facts refute such a fallacy.

The simple reality that the installation of the 14th Dalai Lama needed the approval of the national government is sufficient proof that Tibet did not possess any independent power during that period.

Whether by historical lineage or from the angle of human rights, India, with the world's largest slave population, doesn't seem to have any bragging right and legitimacy over Tibet, where the Dalai Lama also oversaw serfdom under his "benevolent dictatorship".

"It wasn't China, but Nehru who declared 1962 war: Australian journalist Neville Maxwell" 

It wasn't China who fucked Nepal to ignite a humanitarian crisis on a helpless neighbor in the South Asian community not long after a devastating earthquake: http://www.fairobserver.com/region/central_south_asia/not-everyone-is-happy-about-nepals-constitution-31010/

"Some political analysts have noted that a strained Indo-Nepal relationship has graver implications for India’s influence in the subcontinent. There has been long-standing suspicion against Indian motives in significant factions of political establishments in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bhutan."

In his speech at the Lok Sabba in 1954, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, "Over the past several hundred years, as far as I know, at no time has any foreign country denied China's sovereignty over Tibet."

Therefore, the so-called "Tibetan independence" which the Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces fervently propagate is nothing but a fiction of the imperialists who committed aggression against China in modern history.

Just compare the prevailing living standard enjoyed by the average modern Tibetan with that of Indian resident in neighboring region in the Indian subcontinent.

According to the cute Indian logic, Chinese investments are unwelcome in the following countries for reasons:
Sri Lanka - India's backyard, Pakistan - terrorist country which is Indian adversary, India - Indian pride hinged on rivalry with China. In short, China is not welcomed to invest in all that have something concerned with India, friends and foes alike. Yes, and they include India itself. Probably, Chinese investments within China also would present a potential threat to India.

Chinese investments in developing Pakistan will help in the modernization of its economy, stabilizing the delicately balanced political landscape and thus forestalling possible degeneration of the environment from spiraling out of control.

Does India fancy a full-blown failed state just next door to generate even more terrorists?

China is willing to do its utmost under reasonable terms to accommodate the legitimate interests of all countries despite the sharp differences...It never supports Indian Maoist causes, despite Mao being their apparent source of inspiration. Why? Are these the actions of a bully?

"Generally, Indian leaders have pitched India as a rising power on the caliber of China. China for its part makes its largest investments in infrastructure in poor, developing countries. For India, accepting Chinese financing could cause a perception problem."

India has its pride and China certainly respects that. All I can say is, luckily, China had Deng Xiaoping who made the famous "Black cat-White cat" statement. Good luck, India! I hope you Make It, in India.

Who is the one truly with a small mind here? Whatever happened to Modi's election promise of bringing substantive economic development to India? You may have your pride, but do your hundreds of millions of starving poor? ;)

I see an exploitative nature in Indian diplomacy, which may become a hurdle to building trust and credibility in Sino-Indian partnership.

2 stark examples stand out: Nepal blockade and 1962.

Nepal blockade happened only not long after a devastating earthquake, sparking a humanitarian crisis in the Himalayan neighbor.

And, under what conditions was the 1962 war fought? 
Again, China was left exposed in the South, having to withstand intense Soviet pressure looming over its northern border while experiencing a great famine that saw tens of millions starved to death. Add to that, direct American military involvement in the Vietnam War.

India's intermediate foreign policy objective is clear and simple - "Outright" domination of its neighborhood which possibly includes the Indian Ocean, echoing America's Monroe Doctrine. 

Problem is, China is its neighbor too and huge. 

So, India has been working with both Russia (especially the Soviet Union) and the US to contain China. However, the US has neither the will nor capacity to fulfill the rise of India to match China's position in the world, at least not under its watch. 

China must be on full guard against India. Not only China. :)
