599 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ ভারত-পাকিস্তান যুদ্ধ প্রশ্নে চীনের ভাষ্য : চায়না, পাকিস্তান এ্যান্ড ৭ ডিসেম্বর, ১৯৭১ জাতিসংঘ সাধারণ পরিষদে গণচীনের ংলাদেশ প্রতিনিধি চিয়াও কুয়ান হুয়ার বক্তৃতা STATEMENT BY THE CHINESE REPRESENTATIVE CHAHO KUANHUA IN THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY, 7 DECEMBER, 1971 India and Pakistan are both close neighbors of China. The Chinese Government and people are seriously concerned over the armed conflict between India and Pakistan. The Chinese Delegation would like to make a few remarks on this question. 1. The Indian Government is an outright aggressor. Our Colleagues here all know well how the war between India and Pakistan was started. The Indian Government has been saying again and again that it was the question of the East Pakistan refugees that has put it in a position in which it has no alternative but to send troops to invade Pakistan. This is indeed absurd to the extreme. The Indian ruling circles had also some time ago forcibly coerced several tens of thousands of the inhabitants of China's Tibet into going to India and set up a so-called government in exile headed by the Chinese traitor Dalai Lama. To agree that the Indian Government is justified to use the so-called refugee question as a pretext for invading Pakistan is tantamount to agreeing that the Indian Government will be justified to use the question of the so-called "Tibetan refugees" as a pretext for invading China. Is not this kind of pretext utterly ridiculous? Supported by a certain big power, the Indian Government has become most arrogant and rampant. It openly clamours that since Pakistan is a neighbor of India, the existence of Pakistan troops in East Pakistan constitutes in itself a threat to India. This is sheer fascist nonsense. India is also a neighbor of China, does the existence of Indian troops in India then constitute a threat to China? Indian ruling circles claim that India is a country that loves democracy, freedom and peace. This can only deceive or hoodwink those who are not familiar with the facts. In the world today, only in India can one find several tens of millions of untouchables. Among the new, independent countries in Asia and Africa, only India has a "protectorate". Almost all the neighbors of India have been bullied by it at one time or another. What kind of democracy is this? What kind of freedom is this? And what kind of peace is this? India's expansionism had a long history. In his book The Discovery of India, Nehru openly proclaimed that the South Asian Subcontinent and the Indian Ocean is the sphere of influence of India. For years the Indian ruling circles have never given up their ambitious attempt to become a "superpower" or a "semi-superpower." Their present aggression against Pakistan is the inevitable outcome of the implementation of such an expansionist policy.
