India seeks nod from China on UN Council seat

[faithfulguy]

It certainly is not a numbers game. Correct me if I am wrong - but now in Taiwan there has been a regime change and China (Taipei) has repeatedly proved its democratic credentials. Just like I can't hold today's German regime accountable for the Holocaust and other Nazi atrocities. On the other hand, in case of China (Peking) - it is still the same communist regime which has committed genocide. Usually, it takes time but genocidal regimes meet their end - be it Stalin or Hitler. China (Peking) is one of the last countries in the world where a tyrant and mass murderer like Mao is on the currency - the others are probably Zimbabwe and North Korea - tell me honestly - does China want to be seen in such august company?

The current regime of China is more of a continuation of Deng then that of Mao. its ok to criticize Mao all you want in China now. But if you said a bad word about Deng or talk about 6/4 incident, then watch your back.

^^^ The 1.5 billion members of the Islamic world should have representation too.

The have significant geopolitical importance as well, especially in terms of resources.

India can only represent itself, not South Asia or SAARC. And India's geopolitical importance is nowhere near that of the Islamic world.

I guess we have third largest Muslim Population, So Dude dont cry about representation of Islamic World

Very doubtful.

Relations between China and India aren't exactly friendly.

Well they are no bad either. I mean we have come a long way since 1962 and we have a long road ahead of us in this path of mutal,strategic friendship.
