"There is delightful irony that China has put forward a plan to resolve Rohingya refugees, which is so deceptively simple and yet didn't occur to Indian ingenuity. The 3-stage Chinese plan proposes to:
-- Achieve a ceasefire so Rohingyas are no longer displaced. (The ceasefire is now in effect.)
-- Encourage Myanmar and Bangladesh to keep communication lines open in a bid to arrive at a feasible solution by carrying forward their initial agreement on repatriating refugees in Bangladesh.
-- Find a long-term solution by addressing the root cause of the conflict through development of Rakhine state. (Xinhua).
It is a moot point whether the Chinese plan will work, because in the long run, as they say, we are all dead. What matters is time present."
