The
white man's burden on the British shoulders to develop the eastern world could
be seen in the railway tracks built by them in China. However, the wheel seems
to have taken a different turn. The British approach towards China has an
essence of mendicant in it.
The
Chinese are in progress of gaining the same skills as the British had at a
point in time. Like every other European country, the British also stand in the
queue to secure a share in the Chinese market along with its booming investment
across the seven seas. Straightforward as the Chinese are, the British Prime
Minister was cold shouldered as he showed his concern towards the Tibetans. To top
it all, Cameron also met the Dalai Lama. Fearing financial loss, Britain took
to guard and approached china cap in hand. Obviously, Britain did not want to
be left out when it came to Chinese foreign investment.
Britain’s
shaky attitude towards Tibet changed overnight and Britain in turn was awarded
the honour of being China’s best friend and most willing partner in the world.
It
is evident not, that china has the game controls in its hand. The western
powers led the game at one time and now its China’s turn to lead.
