Modi In China. Manmohan In Maldives.

The US denied Narendra Modi entry into the country. The State Department got bullied by the liberals. China received Modi. They don’t care about liberals. They care about business. They received Modi as they would a leader of stature. Of course with the Chinese involved, I always get suspicious. But the is not the point here. The points in my view are as follows.

1. The mainstream media ignored Modi’s visit even though it bothered the hell out of the leftists. After all how can their grand daddy be nice to a vile man such as Modi!! Anything that bothers the leftists must be OK. This is what was said in a blog on Rediff: In fact, actor Shabana Azmi, known for close Leftist links, is said to have called up a senior Left leader to find out whether they were doing something about it. She was, of course, told that Modi’s visit was something between two governments and Indian Communists should make no noise. The Left’s unstated irritation is that, despite being targeted by them for the 2002 riots, Modi managed to impress his hosts

2. The visit bothered the liberal rag, Times of India which was expecting him to abandon his Hindu nationalistic ideology in favor of Chinese business. Much to their surprise / chagrin Modi spoke clearly about the Chinese army’s presence in PoK and Pakistani perfidy amongst other seemingly contentious issues. This is a remarkable departure from the usual timid Indian response to the Chinese. Now there is a leader with guts and gumption.

3. Bengal used to be the most prosperous and industry driven state. That was before the commies took over. Now it is a shell of its former self. Going from 224,132 man-days lost because of strikes in 2001 and lockouts in 53 establishments in the same year, Gujarat by 2010 had a mere 41,128 man-days lost and 18 strikes and lockouts.
Of course this stat does not include the strikes backed by the commies in the rest of the country. Who can forget the all India Bandh called by the commies during the UPA-1 when they were in power. I don’t even know how many man-hours were lost.

4. The list of proposals from China for Gujarat is very impressive. It is such that one can start talking about Sino-Gujarat ties rather than Sino-India ties. Now the delusional leftists would give the credit to the hard working Gujaratis but the fact remains that the Gujaratis have always been hardworking. They have never had a leader of Modi’s caliber. Now they are shining. It is really refreshing that Bhai Narendra Modi is not depending upon the central government for foreign businesses. He is bringing in investments despite of them. In fact what he is doing for his state should be a model for what should be done for India.

5. However, if you compare his visit with Manmohan Singh’s visit to the Malidives. You will really wonder why we have Singh as a PM and not Modi. Singh committed one blunder after another. Not to be outdone by his boss, SM Krishna who was only too happy to shake Hina Rabbani Khar’s hand showed clearly that Indian Foreign Ministry has fallen for the Pakistani ploys of getting India off their backs while they deal with the US pressures and drone attacks.

The importance of Narendra Modi's visit to China
The success of Gujarat has today put it in a place where it can negotiate and navigate international relations of direct economic consequence to it without being held back by the timidity in New Delhi, says Shashi Shekhar.

Modi also questioned the wisdom of a Chinese transformer maker, TBEA, displaying a wrong map of India at a function in New Delhi, which resulted in a sharp exchange of words between a journalist and Chinese ambassador in India, Zhang Yan. Gujarat government is worried about the controversy because it has signed a Rs 2500-crore contract with the Chinese company.
