The reason we did not retaliate against India for hosting our separatist groups, was not out of some self-righteous sense of principles (or anything silly like that)... but simply because we were too weak.
We were in the middle of the worst famine in Chinese history, the Great Leap Forward from 1958-1961. China was literally falling apart from starvation and unrest.
We also had the two superpowers of the world as our enemies, the USA and the USSR. Both these superpowers, in conjunction with their Asian allies, had China surrounded on all sides. Only a while before, we had fought the USA during the Korean war, and were also in the middle of the Sino-Soviet split.
Today though, the time for us supporting the ULFA and other assorted outfits has gone, we missed our opportunity to pay India back. Now let's see if the skeletons can remain in the closet or not.
