By this time our Foreign Office should have realized who are our friends and foes who had stood by us in our hour of distress, China or America during the past half a century and suppose we are pushed to a situation where we have to take a decision whose side should we be on, what course of action should we adopt.
Odds are that highly volatile and whimsical as he has exhibited himself to be on some occasions in the near past Trump might try to adopt an aggressive policy against China. In that case if he expects us to play second fiddle to Washington which side should we be on, Beijing or Washington .
Neutrality is the best policy of course but if push comes to shove and circumstances force us to make a choice we had better say a big NO to Trump if he adopts a policy on the pattern of the one adopted and followed by the Americans in early 1950s translating Dulles doctrine of cold war against the then Soviet empire which proved to be disastrous for us.
We had better keep ourself aloof in such a situation keeping in view tremendous loss faced by us in the not- too -distant past in our blind allegiance to White House. in our foreign policy.
