So, Russia's role is very prominent. He also deals with India's role. Biplob: I think its an interesting situation - both have an intertwined business (US and China), even US debt is financed by China which is in turn invested back in the US Treasury. However, as Levin says in question #2 when asked about the same thing - that War may come first and decoupling may be a by-product. Meaning that the reason for war may be extraenous - it could be national pride or some such thing. Moreover, we have to completely understand the nature of China's strategy. They are behind North Korea's missiles, behind Pakistan's Nukes, and have tacitly blessed AQ Khan's Nuke bazaar. Its all political expediency. Ultimately it all will haunt the world. Like I always say every one can see the Green flag of Islamic terrorism, what no one sees is the Red mast of China that supports that flag!

I think, this is an interesting article. Chinese economy is growing rapidly and I don’t think that there is any reason there could be a fall out between China and USA. Many USA based multinational business companies like General Motors are doing well in China and I think, both the countries are getting the benefits of this. Thanks for uploading the nice interview. 331383@desicritics.org Tue, 6 May 2008 05:47:23 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/05/05/093850.php#comment-331368 Another piece of research by an overpaid analyst. 331368@desicritics.org Tue, 6 May 2008 01:33:17 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/05/05/093850.php#comment-331360 From the interview alone, and not having read the book, it seems to be more about the US-China equation, and not as much about Russia as a counterweight. Indeed, there could be many counterweights and loose confedarations. A Sino-Islamic axis is also likely, as much as the Shanghai Cooperative Organization 331360@desicritics.org Mon, 5 May 2008 21:48:48 EDT
