TURKMAN: When had I said, China was in Foreign Hands? I had said Chinese 'Economy' has been in Foreign Hands and proof is, until China permitted Western Industrialists to start building their factories, China's Foreign Exchange Earnings were near Zero. China has grown because of Foreign Factories and had started her Foreign Exchange Earnings because of them.

TURKMAN: Because China has over $ 2 trillion already accumulated in Foreign Exchange Reserves.

> 3) And after 38 years, India is still dragging its feet, dangling the carrot to BD, for making a single item duty-free from BD to India. All this SAARC junk that India cooks, to attract (and decieve) its neighbors is basically a FAARCE.

TURKMAN: India has only less than $ 300 billion in Surplus Earnings of Foreign Exchange. She does not want to lose them.

TURKMAN: This should stop and India should at least let us equal her exports to us.

> 4) In the whole world 'TRADE' means "Give & Take policy", but for India 'trade' means "Give & Give". You have to GIVE everything to India, give them business, transit, water, land, borders, Talpotti, Teen-Bigha, Farakka, Tipaimukh - the list goes on.

TURKMAN: Not right.

TURKMAN: India should not be stopping BD Emigre by Barrel of Gun. This is violation of UN Charter and BD should seek relief from UN on this.
