(THE INTRIGUING TECHNIQUES AND RATIONALITY BEHIND CHINESE PLAGIARISTIC OBSESSION)
The Chinese are double-dyed bootleggers par excellence and they are consummate propagandists evidently traits inspired by their former Soviet masters. Just as in any dictatorship, attention grabbing, diversion or delusive dispersion of information for the domestic audience becomes a cardinal policy for governance and by a reasonable assumption; it goes in with the fodder. Inherently they are hegemonic by nature since the leadership psyche is indoctrinated and fueled by such an ideology which advocates aggressiveness and consequently it is accompanied amply by a will to dominate, having a conniving determination and a firm quest to achieve its goals. To feed these nefarious ends they adopt an artful semblance of posturing seemingly in the intention to rattle their adversaries aspiring to be a step ahead of them either through deceit, larceny or reverse engineering tactics. Bootlegging technology in every sphere of scientific development is a well-honed practice, and it is diligently backed up by massive resource and logistic support. The lists below bears witness to this approximation though some of the equipment is licence produced, but the Chinese have the uncanny habit of deserting or contravening their joint venture agreements and partners and continue manufacturing them under their own branding. Like their former boss-men, the Soviets the Chinese politburo too is compelled to resort to such crack-brained propagandist rhetoric as part of preserving their dictatorship. In at least the cases listed below, desperation by China seems to have won over innovation.

Why are the Chinese so dedicated to copying almost anything from western and other sources? I presume it is cultural by nature. Historically, Chinese folklore propounds that copying is a way of showing respect for human mastery over Science, Technology and the Arts. As an Historical illustration, the Chinese painter and critic Hsieh Ho from the 5th Century AD formulated the "Six Principles of Painting", which included a tenet "to convey and change by patterned representation", which translates subtly "to transmit by copying". Nevertheless, this does not justify the ruse of blatant infringements of intellectual property rights or innovating on other people’s creativity. However, it would be foolhardy to infer that the Chinese are all but champion bootleggers of modern technology; then again it would also be prudent on the part of India to believe and accept the fact that they do have some levels of technological capabilities to develop sophisticated military hardware.
Most of their ostentatious grandstanding, posturing and fully loaded blustering is done periodically for both their domestic and international audiences and to augment the rhetoric, they resort to tacit intimidation of its neighbors. Regardless of this sheer vain conceited posture and even in the event of collusion with Pakistan, India will be able to retaliate in an effective manner. A point to introspect here is that our defense policy always focused in developing mainly defensive weapon systems rather than offensive ones. The Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV) or Advanced Air Defense (AAD) anti ballistic missile batteries will take care of the DF-15's and DF-21's or the Pakistani Shaheen-1 and 2 (Imported Chinese M-11 and M-18 missiles), the H-6K (Tupolev Tu-16's) are conventional vintage strategic bombers without any stealth abilities, our Akash SAM's will take care of them as well. In retaliation our offensive response will be with Agni-V ICBM's and Brahmos 1 and 2 supersonic/hyper-sonic missiles. INS Vikrant, INS Viraat and INS Vikramaditya can do carrier service in the east and the west coast.
To put things in perspective, India unlike China has taken a more conservative and holier-than-thou approach in its weapons development programs, take the case of the Tejas as an example it has taken more than two decades for the warplane to evolve as a credible fighting system and it is still limping toward its crucial Final Operational Clearance (FOC). The long gestation period between conception (1990) and the final commissioning of the fighter was on account of new technologies being adopted for the first time in India. Several cutting edge technologies were realized during this period.
Some of the key technologies developed ingeniously for the Tejas are:
Some of the key technologies developed ingeniously for the Tejas are:
- Tejas employs Relaxed Static Stability design in its architecture. In aviation, relaxed stability is the tendency of an aircraft to change its attitude and angle of bank on its own accord. An aircraft with relaxed stability will oscillate in simple harmonic motion around a particular attitude at increasing amplitude
- It is equipped with a sophisticated quadruplex digital fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control system
- Tejas employs a powerful digital flight control computer (DFCC) comprising of four computing channels, each with its own independent power supply and all housed in a single LRU (Line Replaceable Units)
- Tejas is constructed using aluminium-lithium alloys, carbon-fiber composites (C-FC) and titanium-alloy steels
- The computer interfaces with pilot display systems like the MFDs (Multi Function Display) is through the MIL-STD-1553B multiplex avionics data buses and RS-422 serial links. MIL-STD-1553 is a military standard published by the United States Department of Defense that defines the mechanical, electrical, and functional characteristics of a serial data bus
- Tejas is also to be equipped with an Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST) sensor
- The Electronic Warfare (EW) suite, known as Mayavi (Magician), includes a Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), Missile Approach Warning (MAW) and a Laser Warning Receiver (LWR) system, self-protection jammer, laser warning system and chaff/flare dispenser
- Tejas is equipped with LRDE's 3D Multi-mode radar which uses contemporary ADSP processors, this radar has been superseded by the new 3D Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Fire Control Radar (FCR) and a Synthetic Aperture and Inverse Synthetic Aperture radar
