Bored, so I am gonna eat your brain with my brain shit.
It is not meant for all Indians, meant for only a particular bunch. And I might go a bit off-topic so bear with me.
As an unbiased Indian, I would say that we have been dissing China for decades, sometimes too much. What did they do to get this much hatred from Indians?
Our economy crashed, let's blame China
Our country caught a new disease, let's blame China
Our computers got hacked, let's blame China
Our soldiers died, let's blame China
I lost my pet, let's blame China
My cat peed in my pants, let's blame China
My wife eloped with my driver, let's blame China
What the heck did they do?
I can understand a few things, I support Atmanirbhar Bharat too. I know China is helping Pakistan. But I think a few Indians are taking it too far, including Govt Officials. We are importing things from them because we need them, China is not holding us at gunpoint and forcing us to buy from them. I agree, during and after Corona, China's economy thrived, it doesn't mean we can blame them for everything.
1)Our soldiers died in the Galwan River valley fighting with Chinese soldiers but China didn't release their body count so we started dissing it, saying their army is weak, we killed more of their soldiers, China is scared of us. What the heck is this? It sounds like an invitation for war with them. It is like provoking them. And we didn't even know who was telling the truth, our Govt or the Chinese Govt. We just started believing whatever our Govt said. We didn't know who pulled the trigger first or who advanced their positions first. This is a problem many fail to see.
In North Korea, Kim Jong-Un is projected as a god to them. Because their Govt says he is protecting his people but the world knows the truth as a third person. The truth is lost when there is no unbiased witness to articulate what exactly happened. We can only hear the perspectives and form something close to the truth. But that truth won't be exactly true.
2)During the pandemic, many people across the world came up with this bullshit, "China declared a Bio-war on the world". People started saying "China created Corona in a lab and discovered a vaccine for it too, China hid the vaccine for itself and released the virus on the world". I still don't understand why some people believe that. Science is not that advanced yet, not even in China. And it was definitely not a bio-war.
3)Some of our countrymen are so stupid. Whatever China or European countries invent, they claim that it was in our scriptures, our ancestors had that technology or we invented it first. I know our ancestors were smart but why do some people still believe in "we invented everything", "we are the smartest ones". Let's give other countries credit for their inventions too, there is no harm in that. Can we agree that we don't know somethings too, instead of saying "everything is in our scriptures"? Let's not inflate our egos.
4)We stole their Kung-Fu. Well, not exactly but many of the Indians believe that Kung-Fu is our art and the Chinese stole it from us. There is no concrete evidence to suggest that but still, people believe that. Don't know why.
5)We accused China of stealing our data and selling it, we accused their apps spying on us which is true in some cases. So we banned their apps and products which was welcoming. But no one was talking about Google? Google's got your data, probably more than China could ever collect. So let's ban Google too. We are being a hypocrite here, Google is from the US, US is our friend, so let's not ban Google. If Google was from China, then we would have banned it.
And many more like this.
Just for a sec, why don't we try to be unbiased and think things through, instead of just believing in rumours.
I know what few people are thinking "prevention is better than cure", "we must be ready always", "they are our enemy". That is alright, but it should never mean we can blame China for everything. That is not healthy behavior. If we blame people, or fear people without knowing the truth then that is Paranoid Personality Disorder for God's sake.
Optional reading:
Remember my statement "Science is not that advanced yet". I would like to elaborate on it as I don't want to mislead people by giving wrong info. I mean to say "Science is advanced but not that much advanced to start and stop a bio-war just like that in a region". And "just like that" as in just a matter of a couple of weeks after infecting thousands of people. It is possible to create viruses in a lab. Most Scientists do it for research purposes and advancement in genetic-engineering, not to start bio-wars. And truth be told, some countries do have bioweapons. But a bioweapon once used, cannot be controlled, even the users of bioweapon will be infected too. I think no country will take that risk, putting its own people's lives on the line. It took a global effort to create a vaccine for Corona and some people believe "China scientists have the vaccine, so released Corona on the world so that countries fall at China's feet for the vaccine". That view is wrong. Sorry that I added this optional reading after a long time of posting.
