DESPITE CLAIMING to have socialism and non-expansionism as its ideology, China has embraced the expansionist ideals of the emperors of its past, according to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
Speaking at a discussion titled “Role of India in Global Perspective”, organised by the RSS Sunday, Bhagwat said that despite efforts by the US, a multi-polar world has arisen and China is trying to spread its influence.
“China has now risen. Now this is what China wants to do. Communists keep saying that we are socialists and we will never go towards capitalism, we are not expansionist. But Guruji (former RSS chief M S Golwalkar) said in the 1960s that this will not happen. He said wait for some time and China will come back to its basic nature. It will have little of Confucius and more of the expansionism of its past emperors. And that's what we see today. Today, China has become a big economic power and it wants to expand its influence. It is not bothered about what the world thinks about it. It is pursuing its goal,” Bhagwat said.
The RSS chief also said that India is stronger than ever and has realised its strength.
