"China commemorates 110th birthday of late Premier Zhou Enlai"
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-03/01/content_7694999.htm
Zhou Enlai loved People of Bangladesh and Pakistan Also
There was a Banglade**** owning a newspaper. He posed as a China expert
and eventually managed to become an ambassador, thanks to the 1975
Revolution of Bangladesh, because of which he came out of the jail,
but when the revolutionaries languished in the jail his paper did not
write anything to release these patriots, rather published an article
by a man introduced by him as a young intellectual and the man wrote
against the legal indemnity that protected these revolutionaries from
harassment for 21 years, and was thanked twice by a happy Indian in
the internet for his writing which served Indian interest very well.
China is only 43 miles from Bangladesh; this man owning the newspaper
traveled half of the globe and died in Canada. It is believed that
people of Bangladesh spend over $200 million annually for overseas
medical treatment. Bangladesh is a huge country by population though
most people are poor. The corrupt elite, visionless politicians having
no medical policy for the common people, and newspapermen who procure
sup****t of foreign diplomats for these politicians regularly visit
overseas.
I cannot remember seeing any serious article in his newspaper
advocating possible collaboration between Bangladesh and China in the
fields of medical and scientific research, education or industrial
development.
The way people of Pakistan and Bangladesh lost op****tunities to get
benefit from the presence of China nearby to solve some of the
pressing problems that are bleeding these two countries from the time
of their birth is amazing. In 1965 with the help of willing Zhou
Enlai, Pakistan could not only solve its problem in Kashmir but also
could cause the unnatural borders north of Bangladesh, borders that
are the root cause of human misery in this part, to collapse totally.
During the final hours of the Pakistani debacle in Dhaka, idiot
Pakistanis were awaiting a Chinese intervention. These were the same
people who did not read the news that Pakistan is using commercial
flights to Canton to take photographs of Chinese installations (I need
a reference, I possibly read this news in an Indian re****t on Yahoo's
was visit to China).
To the reading public the 17th August bombing activities in Bangladesh
that made Madam Khaleda Zia to cut short her visit in China in 2005 is
comparable to the bomb that exploded in the conference hall where
Foreign Ministers of Afro-Asian Conference were supposed to meet on 29
June, 1965 in Algiers.
The conference due on 29 June was postponed to Nov 5, 1965. Ben Bella
was overthrown two days before the Commonwealth Conference and Afro-
Asian Commonwealth leaders, including Ayub Khan, decided on 23 June
not to go to Algiers for the Afro-Asian Conference. Z. A. Bhutto
however did not give up. He attended the Foreign Ministers meeting
held (26 June) in Algiers, and persuaded Ayub Khan to meet Zhou Enlai
and Sukarno in Cairo.
China declared on Oct 26, 1965 that it would not attend the proposed
Afro-Asian Conference.
In the middle of this urgenecy that Pakistan might develop a problem-
solving relation****p with China, on August 1 the paper which even
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman diagnosed to be serving dubious interest started
to come out in Dhaka by the effort of some Banglade**** called "London
left-nationalists." To unsuspecting people it appeared as the sole
agency of China relation in Bangladesh.
Then the 1965 war started between India and Pakistan. During this war
Z. A. Bhutto, foreign Minister of Pakistan, managed to get Zhou
Enlai's assurance of a decisive action against India. But Ayub Khan
asked Zhou Enlai not to get involve.
In 1966 June Z. A. Bhutto, who tried heard to improve Pakistan-China
relation, was dismissed. Though earlier Bhutto was one of those who
backstab the great Bengali leader Suhrawardyh for Suhrawardyh's effort
to improve Pakistan-China relation.
There are essentially two courses of development a country can pursue.
One course is that of development against opposition (as China
developed). The other is assisted development (as it happened in
Japan). Which course is suitable that depends on the history of the
country and the mentality of its people.
The Chinese under Mao rejected assisted development because the limits
it has and the dependence it creates conflicted the state ideology.
Chinese experience of developing under opposition could be a valuable
example for people of Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Today idiot Pakistanis are dying like anything. It is not clear who is
killing whom for what benefit. Banglade****s are also dying at the
border regularly. Corrupt politicians simply do not talk about it.
By remembering Zhou Enlai, and studying carefully his interest in
Bangladesh and Pakistan, academics of Bangladesh and Pakistan can
advise their policy-makers about the right course of action.
There is a point too for those who chant religious slogans in
Bangladesh and Pakistan. People like Zhou Enlai are not born often. If
God-given op****tunities of easier solutions are lost stupidly,
Merciful God may punish his bondsmen by making solutions harder.
