China Gains in U.S. Eyes, and India Feels Slights
By LYDIA POLGREEN
NEW DELHI — The statement, on its surface, seemed like any other bland missive released at the end of a polite visit by a head of state. It was put out by the United States and China after President Obama’s visit there, and said that the two countries would “work together to promote peace, stability and development” in South Asia.
But on the eve of a visit by the Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, to the White House, where on Tuesday he will be the guest of honor at Mr. Obama’s first state dinner, the words rank as one of several perceived slights that have dampened hopes for a new chapter in the sometimes rocky relationship between the United States and India.
The vague statement has been widely interpreted here as an invitation to China to meddle in India’s backyard, and prompted howls of dismay across the political spectrum.

Nothing that silent about it - Bush got a great reception there last month, and the Obama administration made their displeasure about it clear to the Indians. During his second term and also right now, Bush is probably more popular in India than he is in the US.

We may also have India-China split in U.S. politics. Indians generally siding with Republicans while Chinese with Dems.

We need more Indian immigrants. Their votes should lead US in the right direction. I wish US could get rid of China town just like India does. We don’t need those espionage hotspots.
