More and more people, analysts, and nations are becoming concerned with this. And well they should. It is something I have projected and written about since 2001 with the 1st book of my Dragon's Fury Series of novels. In that fictional scenario (which was written as a warning against the potential in real life), the potential and consequences of such a relationship are dire for the United States.

As time gos on and as this real life relationship continues to progress (see the recent article India and China Agree to form Partnership), the actual potential for downside to US economics and foreign policy multiply.

"But what if it is more than that?"

What if pigs fly? What if the US merges with Argentina, or Australia?

Personally, I think that it's good that India and China are getting along. Maybe the Indians can teach the Chinese a little something about civility and democracy.

What if China and India unite? Let's see...both countries will starve? China will stop eating beef? India will start practicing infanticide (kiiling girl babies)? The results might be staggering.

"has stopped eyeing Beijing as enemy No. 1."

I cannot believe that Farah really believes that. The Indians are not that stupid.

In terms of strategic partnership, "maybe". However, the unrest of Kashmir has not end "yet" while China has also maintained relations with Pakistan. I wonder if Indians will be satisfied with that.

Jeff - thanks for the article.

A partnership between China & India is definitely something to watch closely - could be very troubling - economically and militarily (both are in the nuclear club).

FReegards,

Why does WingNutDaily seem more and more like a fiction site?

Hmmm... what if India and China unites?

Well for one, the new 'Chinese' restaurants would suck - and secondly our dry cleaning would smell of curry.

No offense, just a joke.

Nah.

Nothing muich is likely to come outta this partnership, IMHO.
Many within and outside India realize that India and China are strategic rivals in the long term, not strategic partners. India's best chance of a longterm strat partnership is with the US and IMO it's likely to be a mutually beneficial relationship.

Ah, time for the weekly pants-wetting China panic article.

People mistake diplomatic glad-handing and press releases for real deep-rooted alliance all the time.

The warming of relations between China and India, the world's two biggest nations, is giving intelligence analysts in the West nightmares.

I'd be surprised if an incompetent twit like Farah actually knows or regularly talks to REAL "intelligence analysts" rather than pretend ones like Farah.

Gertz was on with Drudge last night and he mentioned a Russia/China partnership.
