POREG VIEW:Talking peace and mounting heat is a part of the two-track strategy of China in its dealings with all its neighbours, India including. The General snub – the denial of visa to Lt Gen B S Jaswal, commander of the Northern Area sector, which includes Jammu and Kashmir, for a planned high level visit to Beijing in August, though he was an honoured guest in China during his stint as Tezpur Corps commander in Arunachal Pradesh- follows the known pattern. Cultivated enigma is China’s USP. And it proves the continud relevance of the Truman advice to President John F Kennedy on the eve of his first summit with Nikita Khrushchev in June 1961.
