Xi Jinping’s Call for ‘Rejuvenation’ Means Taking Indian Territory: Analyst
News Analysis
NEW DELHI As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) celebrated its 100 year anniversary on July 1, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke of the “rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” and the “rise of the east.” These agendas that the Chinese are likely to relentlessly pursue will have a direct impact on India, the country next door with whom the PLA has been engaged in a fierce confrontation since last year, said an Indian analyst.
“All the struggle, sacrifice, and creation through which the Party has united and led the Chinese people over the past hundred years has been tied together by one ultimate theme bringing about the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” boasted Xi in a speech that repeated “rejuvenation” at least 24 times.
Exactly a year after the Indo-China conflict began, the border is calm but distrust continues with tensions persisting at least at four locations in Ladakh.
