We need strong regional counter-weights to China to tie them down and confine China's sphere of influence. A potent Indian military presence on China's southern border would serve us well - and India and China have ongoing border disputes. But Indian bureaucracy and corruption will probably prevent them from ever achieving any real level of military concern for China.
