  • China to help crush Maoists

    http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1529667,0008.htm

    In a significant announcement, China's top envoy has declared that his country is ready to help India to crush its nagging Maoist insurgency that it once actively supported.

    Chinese Ambassador Sun Yuxi said at an interaction here that Beijing did not even know why the Maoist guerrillas in India called themselves followers of the man who led the communists to victory in China in 1949.

    "If there is any help (you expect) from us to India to get rid of them, we will try to do our best," the top diplomat said candidly.

    "We are also wondering why they call themselves Maoists. We don't like that. We don't like that at home. We don't have any connection with them at home.

    "If they call themselves Maoists, we can't stop that way. But definitely it (the Maoist movement in India) does not have any connection with the government of China."

    While China has been distancing itself from Maoist guerrillas in India for years, it is the first time a top Chinese official has gone to the extent of saying that Beijing would have no hesitation in providing help to crush the Maoist rebels.

    The ambassador said it was possible some of the Maoist guerrillas might possess Chinese weapons. But even that, he said, did not mean that they had any links with Beijing.

    He explained that China had supplied a lot of weapons to the anti-Soviet mujahideen guerrillas in Afghanistan during the 1980s in cooperation with Pakistan and the US.

    "A lot of them (were) lost in the black market and they spread everywhere. Even some Chinese terrorists were trained in Afghanistan. They went back with the Chinese weapons and they waged terrorist activities inside China.

    "So, we were very sorry to see that... If there is anything that we can help to stop them (Indian Maoists), we would do."

    The Maoist movement in India erupted in May 1967 in a West Bengal village called Naxalbari, giving its adherents the sobriquet Naxalites. China then actively supported the movement, and Indian Maoists vowed to pursue China's revolutionary path.

    China began distancing itself from the Indian Maoists in the 1980s and now has no institutional linkages with any of the Maoist groups, including the dominant Communist Party of India-Maoist.

    I doubt China can do anything because China has no connection with those Maoists. China haven't interfered the internal affairs of other countries since 70s of last century unless China feel threatened.

    I think this is the way for Chinese gov to distance itself from those people.

    In SE asia, there were some Maoist groups which was supported by Chinese gov. But Chinese gov successfully persuade them to give up and made peace with their gov in 1980s.

    The Maoists in India and Nepal are different.

      Oneman,

      Then what happens to the international struggle and supremacy of the proletariat, which is one of the pillar of Communism?

      Honestly, what type of Communism is being followed these days by the Communists? Even in my State, the Chief Minister has declared that there will be no unions allowed in the IT industry.

      Imagine that.

      The Communists are abandoning even the basic fundamental rights of the worker - collective bargaining!

      Funny Communism.

      I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.

        I agree with you here. China and India have receprocated each other by India stopping military support the Tibetan guerillas and China suspending support to the North-east.
        However, the Maoists of Nepal and their connection to China is rather vague and not quite clear.
        Indian Maoists are basically a creation of the inefficiency of the state govts development policies.

        Cheers!...on the rocks!!

          Contradictions,My Lord!!!
          What's the difference between people who pray in church and those who pray in casinos?
          The ones in the casinos are serious.

            No contradictions.

            China did that before 1970, and stopped it after that. In 1980s, Chinese even helped those govs and those Maoism groups to reach peaceful deal. For example, there is no Maosim movement in Malysia now.

            The Maoism groups in S. Asia and even some in middle and S America have nothing to do with China. Maybe some people hold the same idea of Mao.

              It is funny indeed. Even CCP still has the communist in its name. But it goes to market economy and rich people can be the CCP member. Biz and the national securuty is the top priority of CCP and Chinese gov.

              The economy is the most important index to inspect leaders' or officls' performance in China. It is changing though. The environment, even devlopment and so on will weight more in the index.

              No matter what, most of Chinese elites are still in the CCP. CCP member come from ordinary people like you and me. Today's Chairman Hu Jingtao, Premier Wen came from ordinary famliy. Look at Russia, most of its leaders used to be the member of communist party. Putin was even the head of KGB.

                True, but Russia is no longer Communist.

                China is.

                Mao did not come from an extraordinary family either.

                Everybody except Kings are ordinary.
