The Eastern Economist December 25 1953 Annual Number

When India and China met head-on in South-East Asia the collision peaceful for the most part was an expression of the cultural difference between the forms of expressions of the Imperialist Chinese dynasties and the great overflowing of enthsiasm which was the mark of India's great Gupta age. [...] The British in India Burma and Ceylon; the Dutch in Indonesia; the French in IndChina and the Russians in Turkestan and China in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries added to their military and commercial proficiency the disturbing fruits of the Industrial Revolution. [...] But the character of the Chinese Revolution has suddenly made an alliance of the largest Asian country with the largest European country a basic condition of a large section of the life of the Asian people. [...] THE RESPONSE TO COMMUNISM This is the meaning of the acquiescence of many Asian peoples in the colonial administration of Malaya and the reluctance of many wise observers to see the French depart from Viet-Nam which the Government of M. Laniel is anxious to do. [...] In the case of the old Colonialism the basic purpose of the colony was to minister to the interests of the Colonial Power.
