Its is hilarious the OP is stating CISMOA and LSA was signed to get US support for NSG membership.
If we go by that logic, shouldn't CISMOA and LSA be payback for American success on India's NSG waiver?
The OP again like his nation's media completely has white-washed on the significance of NSG waiver or its threatening consequences to China. Guess CCP is an omnipotent entity which can never make mistakes and any thing thats seems to be mistake should be hushed up.
The Americans under Bush had good foresight and anticipated these hurdles to India's NSG membership.Hence schemed the NSG waiver as a bait, which the omnipotent CCP leadership of China was gullible enough to bite.
It still remains a mystery how China got forced by USA to compromise its own nation's security.The same USA the OP keeps boasting about how China forced them on the longest retreat in Korean war.
As I have stated earlier. China's attempt to block our membership is damage control for the NSG waiver blunder.
For sometime in future in order nullify India's NSG waiver and update NSG charter China would need the entire group's consensus, which however is going be a Herculean task given 41 of 48 members support India.
China is free to hold its breath until that happens.
What is interesting to note here is despite PRC's much touted global power and influence, not a single NSG member rejected India's application in order to appease the Chinese stance. The 6 other nations creating hurdles were doing it for their own reasons.
On whole I think it was blunder to jump for NSG membership without addressing each of the naysayers separately.
China can addressed once we attain MTCR membership and trade their MTCR membership for our NSG membership.
Except Turkey, rest of the other 5 nations improving trade relations may help.
Its only Turkey under Edrogan that seems to be a wild card and prove most difficult to win over, as currently we seem to have nothing to offer them.
