Another reason is that, with respect to the rise of China, the United States is committing to investing in a rising India to challenge China economically, politically, and militarily.
Somehow the article fails to mention the burgeoning defense relationship between India and the United States, and the US imperatives to build out regional challengers and opposition to a China that is growing in power.
- kerbalspacepro 10y agoThe article also fails to mention the existing defense relationship between Pakistan and the United States, and the United States' imperative to make sure that India and Pakistan both fear the other enough to not do anything rash.
- jwtadvice 10y agoNice. The article somehow focuses entirely on a (primarily exaggerated) economic aspect of the new defense relationship. This is pretty common in the US press, and leads many of the people inside the country both to evaluate criteria with highly theoretical economic dogmas and to assess their country as both apolitical and unstrategic.
