WNU Editor: This is Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third visit to Japan on October 28-29, and it symbolizes how important this alliance is becoming to both countries. Bottom line .... their focus is on the growing dominance of China, and how to counter it.
Very good thing. Before that, India was "squeeze" between China and Pakistan, but now China is "squeeze" between India and Japan. Great deal!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe US, Japan, India and Australia are all assisting in a joining of common military capabilities and mutual acquisition of each others military hardware. Notice Boeing manufacturing wings for F-16 in India. The economic assault on China by Trump is welcome around the Asian sphere too. Modi and Abe aren't leading the charge against Trump's trade policies either, both very muted.
