Chinese hardliner newspaper ‘Global Times’ called its leaders to ‘rethink’ its stance on Bhutan and Sikkim. Currently China recognizes Sikkim as a part of India and sovereignty of Bhutan. India has startling control and oppression over Bhutan, and as a result, Bhutan has not established diplomatic ties with its neighbour China or any other permanent members of the UN Security Council, the newspaper said in its report. Through unequal treaties, India has severely jeopardized Bhutan’s diplomatic sovereignty and controls its national defence, the report alleged. India imposed a similar coercive policy on Sikkim before. The small neighbour’s revolts over sovereignty in the 1960s and 1970s were brutally cracked down by the Indian military, the report stated. New Delhi deposed the king of Sikkim in 1975 and manipulated the country’s parliament into a referendum to make Sikkim a state of India. The annexation of Sikkim is like a nightmare haunting Bhutan, and the small kingdom is forced to be submissive to India’s bullying, the report said. After independence, New Delhi inherited the brutal colonial policies of Britain and pursues regional hegemony at the sacrifice of tiny Himalayan nations. New Delhi’s regional hegemony is boldly shown by the border face-off this time. Using the excuse of ‘helping Bhutan protect its sovereignty’, India brazenly obstructs China’s road construction in Chinese territory, the newspaper report claimed. China’s construction site is near India’s Siliguri Corridor, a vital path to the country’s turbulent Northeast area. Suspicious of the potential threats the road construction poses to the corridor, Indian troops crossed the border to the China side and obstructed our road construction, the report added. New Delhi’s regional hegemony is swelling to a tipping point. The country has to pay for its provocations. The world should pay attention to New Delhi’s bullying of tiny Himalayan countries. The international community must be aware of Bhutan’s dilemma and prevent India from oppressing this small kingdom, the hardliner Chinese daily report said. China should lead the international community in restoring Bhutan’s diplomatic and defence sovereignty. Unfair treaties between India and Bhutan that severely violate the will of the Bhutanese people should be abolished. China needs to put more efforts into establishing diplomatic ties with Bhutan at an earlier date as well, the newspaper urged. In a startling outburst, the Global Times, said Beijing should reconsider its stance over the Sikkim issue. Although China recognized India’s annexation of Sikkim in 2003, it can readjust its stance on the matter. There are those in Sikkim that cherish its history as a separate state, and they are sensitive to how the outside world views the Sikkim issue. As long as there are voices in Chinese society supporting Sikkim’s independence, the voices will spread and fuel pro-independence appeals in Sikkim, the report claimed. The report claimed with certain conditions, Bhutan and Sikkim will see strong anti-India movements, which will negatively affect India’s already turbulent North-east area and rewrite southern Himalayan geopolitics. The Global Times is a daily Chinese tabloid newspaper under the auspices of the People’s Daily newspaper, focusing on international issues from a Communist Chinese perspective. The Global Times differentiates itself from other Chinese newspapers in part through its more populist approach to journalism, coupled with a tendency to court controversy.

सीमामा भारतसँगको तनाव बढ्दै गएपछि चिनियाँ सञ्चारमाध्यमले सिक्किमको स्वतन्त्रताबारे चिनियाँ नेतृत्वले पुनर्विचार गर्नुपर्ने धारणा राखेका छन्। चिनियाँ कम्युनिष्ट पार्टीको मुखपत्र ‘पिपुल्स डेली’सँग आवद्ध ‘ग्लोबल टाइम्स’ मा प्रकाशित सम्पादकीयमा चीनले भुटान र सिक्किमको अवस्था बारे पुनर्विचार गर्न सक्ने उल्लेख गरिएको छ। पहिला सार्वभौम राष्ट्र रहेको सिक्किम सन् १९७५ मा भारतमा बिलय भएको थियो। सिक्किम भारतमा मिसिएको चीनले सन् २००३ मा मात्र मान्यता दिएको थियो। ग्लोबल टाइम्सले भारतले यसअघि चीनसँग दलाई लामाको कार्ड खेल्दै आएको भएपनि अब त्यो कार्ड काम नलाग्ने भइसकेकाले चीनले सिक्किमको अवस्थाबारे नयाँ अडान लिनु पर्ने बताएको छ। पत्रिकाले एउटा ठूलो चिनियाँ समुदायमा अहिले पनि सिक्किमलाई स्वतन्त्र बनाउन सहयोग गर्नुपर्ने भावना रहेको उल्लेख गर्दै यदि चिनियाँ नेतृत्वले सिक्किमको स्वतन्त्रताबारे पुनर्विचार गर्ने निर्णय गरे सो संवेदनशील भावना सिकिक्ममा पनि फैलने र त्यो नै नयाँदिल्लीसँग ‘डिल’ गर्ने शक्तिशाली कार्ड बन्ने बताएको छ। ‘केही निश्चित अवस्थामा भुटान र सिक्किममा भारतविरोधी भावना बढ्नेछ र त्यसले अहिले नै समस्याग्रस्त भारतको उत्तरपूर्वी क्षेत्रमा नयाँ भूराजनीति अवस्था निर्माण गर्नेछ’, सम्पादकीयमा भनिएको छ। भारतले सार्वभौम राष्ट्र भएपनि भुटानलाई अहिलेसम्म चीन र संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघका अन्य स्थायी सदस्यसँग दौत्य सम्बन्ध कायम गर्न नदिएइएको पनि सम्पादकीयमा उल्लेख छ। ‘असमान सन्धीका आडमा भारतले भुटानको सार्वभौम कुटनीतिलाई खतरामा राखेको छ र उसको राष्ट्रिय सुरक्षालाई नियन्त्रणमा लिएको छ’, सम्पादकीयमा भनिएको छ, ‘भारतले यही नीति सन् पनि १९७० को दशकमा सिक्किममा पनि अपनाएको थियो।’ ग्लोबल टाइम्सले आफ्नो स्वतन्त्रतापछि भारतले बेलायतले अपनाएको क्रुर औपनिवेशिक नीति नै साना हिमाली राष्ट्रहरुमा लागु गर्दै आएको बताएको छ। ‘अहिले फेरि भुटानको सार्वभौमिकता रक्षा गर्ने भन्दै भारतले चिनियाँ पक्षले आफ्नो भूमिमा बनाइरहेको सडकमा अवरोध गरेको छ’, सम्पादकीयमा भनिएको छ, ‘यो सानो हिमाली राज्यमा नयाँ दिल्लीको दादागिरीबारे अब विश्व समुदायले चासो राख्नै पर्छ। भुटानलाई भारतीय दबाबबाट जोगाउनु पर्छ।’ पत्रिकाले चीनले विश्व समुदायको नेतृत्व गर्दै भुटानको कुटनीतिक सार्वभौमिकता र राष्ट्रिय सुरक्षालाई पुनस्र्थापना गरी जति सक्दो चाँडो उसँग दौत्य सम्बन्ध कायम गर्नुपर्ने सुझाव पनि दिएको छ। ‘वान बेल्ट वान रोड’ परियोजना अन्तर्गत चीनले सिक्किमसँग सीमा जोडिएको क्षेत्रमा सडक निर्माण गरेपछि चीनको सो परियोजनामा सहभागी नभएको भारतले त्यसलाई रोक्न खोजेको चिनियाँ पक्षको अारोप छ। भारतले भने सीमामा त्यस्तो सडक बनाउँदा भारतको सुरक्षामा खतरा हुने बताउँदै अाएको छ।
