There is a parallel between the Kremlin's power play in the Western Hemisphere and the Red Chinese invasion of India. In each case, there was a use of force to achieve a political objective.

The Communist leaders in Peking wanted full control of long dis- puted territory on India's north- ern border, Probably they also were determined to humilate India by military defeat, and thus assert dominance in Asia. back thousands|SCHEME: MAY BACKFIRE But, while the Chinese proved military..superior, their scheme threatens to backfire.
