No 'Hu' and cry over Chinese Prez visit, US prefers India

[Roybot]

that's why i said in my first post itself that it's not just an article but a policy statement...

Thing is saying stuff like Indian Prime Minister got a state dinner and US think-thanks are surprised at President Hu Jintao getting one too, is just pathetic. I mean do you how many Indian Prime Ministers did not get a state reception in the past?

India doesn't need American approval about being a major economy and player in the world. Certainly not in the form of "state dinners". And in actuality thats not what is happening, but the article made it sounds like that. That is all. Hence to the article

Somehow US-China relations are just like China-Indo relations where each party is not sure about the other's intention

where as US-Indo relations though still not what it can but atleast suspicion and rivalry is not part of the game there

the only country that should be "mad" with obama state dinners are Canada and the UK

the Canadian and UK media were crying because Obama didn't even bother to greet Harper and Gordon at the door of the white house. Canadians and British have shed bloods in the name of the war on terror...anybody who deserve a dam dinner it is Canada and the UK.

China needs to please the USA?

Lol... Indian media humor.

 

[conworldus]

Okay the U.S definitely treats India better. We know that. China challenges the U.S. India...well

The point of the article is that the Indo-American alliance is a done deal. India is going to help contain China by putting military pressure on Tibet in a crisis situation involving USA against China like conflict over North Korea, East China Sea or Taiwan.

China has to focus strategic pressure on India because this is the weakest point. China can forge a military alliance with Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepali Maoists, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to counter-contain India.

No 'Hu' and cry over Chinese Prez visit, US prefers India

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh got a state dinner when he came here in 2009 as President Barack Obama's first state guest. Chinese President Hu Jintao is getting one too, but commentators are discussing it as if it was completely unexpected. This and other comparisons are being drawn between India related stories and China in a triangular relationship with the US, going right up to the White House itself, unsolicited and unprompted.

Shortly before Hu arrived on Tuesday, Obama's press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters not to expect deliverables to match those of the India visit.

Even the think tanks seem a little under-enthused. Though papers are being presented and talks are being hosted, the buzz is missing. "The bottom line is that no one expects dramatic breakthroughs with the Hu visit," said Richard Fontaine of the Centre for New American Security. Though corporate deals worth billions are expected to be announced over the next two days, the high-voltage success of Obama's visit to India in November might have raised the bar for visits of this kind.

When asked about the dinner for Hu, and Obama's policy on state dinners, the White House spokesman brought up India once again: "India enjoys a very personal relationship with the United States."

And a state dinner is not something every visiting foreign leader gets as a matter of right. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, for example, who was here earlier this month didn't get a state dinner.

Former US President George W Bush hosted state dinners only for the closest allies of his nation. He didn't host one for Hu when he was here in 2006.

But comparisons are still being made.

National security advisor Tom Donilon was asked at a White House briefing about the apparent absence of "staff work" that preceded the India visit, which the reporter said "was really a summit".

"It just had a different strategic dynamic to it," Donilon said, adding, "We fully embraced India's rise as a great power and a great partner for the United States."
