Respected Ms Shobhaa De
I am writing to you with reference to your article on China published in the Asian Age on 11 0ct. I share your views however most of us come back totally impressed by all round development made by China as well as the hospitality shown by Chinese to outsiders. It reminds me of 1978 when a senior officer who visited China was so impressed by the Chinese that for a month, he spoke nothing but of beautiful China. We as young crowd were surprised how he got so impressed or brainwashed'. I got an opportunity to visit China in 2003 and i was there attending a symoposium along with 50 odd officers of many countries.I was also totally impressed by them. Similarly my wife who joined me for 10 days were impressed by them. Although many of their acts were artifcial but they did it very well'. i also visited Shanghai and so many other places and observed what you had observed in Shangai.
One apect, we all might like to agree that is Chinese can act very well whether it is in politics or on any other issues'
With regards
Yours sincerely
Ranjit Borthakur.
