India is in a position where it can do what China says, or it can develope and chart its own course moving forward. There is just so very much potential there and they are surrounded by hostile or at least unpredictable countries. I think the USA should do everything it can to strengthen our (India and USA) relationship as friends and allies. There are a lot of thinks we can do. India can really help itself by using the rule of law. Stop the corrruption, or shady deals and honor contracts. Allow permits for improvements. Make it easy and safe to do business in India. Everyone will benifit. We need allies there. It is just such a natural fit. It seems we have a lot more in common than we have differences
