#1 A wise move. The Chinese will begin pushing the border, pushing it, pushing it, ever so slowly. And when the Indians fight back, it will be portrayed as an insult to the Chinese people, demanding a response.

#2 It's a little disturbing to realize that India has many Commies in it, IIRC John you related that both old commies and the "newer" Maoist Naxalite peckerwoods were now attempting to subvert India's Great Capitalist Leap Forward!

#4 Yep... the commies are true believers. They have their Unions engage in wildcat strikes at Japanese owned manufacturing plants when the Japanese express interest in increasing investment in India (at the expense of China). Their famous statement of "China's chairman is our chairman" indicates their true loyalty.
