The Hindu was not always a great Chinese institution, but then neither were the Olympics. Things change. China is once again a great power. It controls oil and natural gas in Sudan, mines in Tanzania, ports around the Indian Ocean, and governments in Zimbabwe and Myanmar. It controls the weather near Beijing by shooting silver iodide shells at the clouds from anti-aircraft artillery pieces. It controls the American economy through its ownership of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities. But even this vast portfolio is incomplete without controlling an Indian newspaper.
With the Beijing Olympics underway, you can expect lavish praise on its organization and grandeur from The Hindu as Aadisht writes about the China’s favorite newspaper in India.
