New Delhi: Chinese infiltration in India has become a raging debate after reports of Chinese Army tents being erected inside the Indian perimeter was coined a fortnight back. Where on one hand, the government hesitates even from sketching a protocol, let alone implying it; on the other hand, citizens have marked their loathing by boycotting Chinese products. But does this stride stands any chance?
For China, India has become a market which will never expire. Apart from the army at borders, Chinese have built up another army that is skilled in making duplicates of products, cheap ones, thereby delivering it in the hands of pitiable lots. Why pitiable? Because despite being given a host of policies and programs for the deprived, there is no change in the state of civic. Simply putting – civic-with restrictions.
These restrictions (unitly) push them to go for the entities that match their pockets. The products from China, emerge as savior. They are cheap, they last more than at what they are valued and they give a chance to people to at least taste the bit, of what is available for the better-offs. On the contrary, it magnifies problems for local business.
Bindi to clothes, colors (played in Holi) to buckets, cell phone to motorcycles, induction cooktops to furniture, you name it and there is a Chinese creation for any to every demand. The incursion of Chinese merchandise is so deep that if extracted, they will leave lakhs of families in innumerable woes.
Then, there comes the drive that stimulates us from retracting from use of such products. Will you and I pull back? Today, there is perhaps, not even a single home that has not seen an item 'made in China'.
The invasion in Indian Territory, is seemingly just another information to the disoriented government and is therefore the part of loud noises in Parliament. Oppositions find it another tool to recuperate their image by dragging issue in surprising manners while they together, unperturbed to the gravity of issue, never argue for finding a solution.
More of a geopolitical landmark now, the conflicting zone in the icy desert regions, have seen some grim confrontations. Yet the Indian government does not seek to lay hands to the matter which need not be overlooked on any grounds. The governments should work upon hurling China that has rooted deeper than it looks it has, quickly; otherwise, it will be same as "feeding the housebreaker".
