20 वीं पार्टी कांग्रेस के पहले शी जिनपिंग-सीसीपी नेतृत्व “कलर रिवोल्यूशन” को लेकर सजग

चीन में “कलर रिवोल्यूशन” की आशंका को लेकर चाइनिज कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (सीसीपी) के नेतृत्व में चिंताएं अप्रैल महीने से लेकर अब तक पारदर्शी रूप में काफी बढ़ गई हैं। हालांकि शी जिनपिंग सहित चीनी कैडर्स ने 1991 में कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी ऑफ दि सोवियत यूनियन (CPSU) के 1991 में विघटन के बाद उन आशंकाओं को दूर कर दिया है, लेकिन अमेरिका के साथ संबंधों में हाल के वर्षों में तेजी से आई गिरावट के बाद इसकी चिंताओं में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि हुई है। चीन में इस बात पर राय बनती जा रही है कि पेइचिंग और वाशिंगटन आने वाले भविष्य में सत्ता की प्रतियोगिता में शामिल नहीं, अमेरिका में हुए नेतृत्व परिवर्तन के बाद भी। पीकिंग यूनिवर

Eastern Ladakh – In Focus Again!
July 19 , 2021 Lt Gen (Dr) Rakesh Sharma (Retd.)
Article Views: 1599
With a meeting of the EAM Jaishankar with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, Eastern Ladakh has come in focus again. Most information and analysis of the events in Eastern Ladakh of 2020 and the first half of 2021 have been analysed in fine detail, and hence requires no repetition. There are three issues that of late have been at the fore and need examination – infrastructural push by China in Tibet, the state of disengagement and infringements, if any, in Eastern Ladakh and the prospects of the next military talks following the meeting of the two Foreign Ministers.
