US, PRC, ROC: a new Great Game?
By Jerome
Keating
There are games and then there are games; some games are serious while others are just for fun. However, the real ones can be deadly, especially if they involve nations.
One such example served as the backdrop for English author Rudyard Kipling’s novel
Kim; there he used “the Great Game” to describe the struggle between Great Britain and Russia over influence in central Asia. As this game played out, central Asia became a graveyard for many.
Today, another such game is developing, but this game is in East Asia and it could be called the Taiwan Game, or perhaps Great Game II. Its origin is questionable, especially as the players have changed, but its implications remain vast. How and when did this geopolitical game start?

Plans are afoot for the integrated development of Motupalli, a historic port in Chinnaganjam mandal of Prakasam district.
The tourism potential of the sleepy village, where the bronze idols of Lord Nataraja, his consort Parvati, their son Ganesha and Alwars, the Bhakti movement saints dating back to the 12th century, were found in the 1970s, has remained hitherto untapped.
It is interesting to note that coins and pottery from the 9th century Chinese Ming dynasty were also found during the excavations conducted in 1972.
