As strategic signaling goes, this one is fairly direct and uncomplicated. President Obama is sending his National Security Advisor Tom Donilon to China and India on a two-nation visit this week, indicating that his administration has moved past the G-2 idea involving only the United States and China to a G-3 formation that includes India.

"Donilon's visit underscores this administration's commitment to growing US leadership in Asia, and our work with emerging powers, such as China and India, as a core component of this commitment," the White House said while announcing the visit. The statement accentuated Washington's resolve to boost its primacy in Asia while treating China and India on a similar footing, formally sidelining a school of thought that sought to bracket US and China in a G-2 tie-up while consigning India to a subsidiary regional role.
