The euphoria around Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bonhomie with U.S. President Barack Obama may not be unfounded. Experts believe that the U.S., considering the carrot of building a nuclear power plant in Andhra Pradesh, may make an all out effort to tame China’s opposition to India’s NSG membership.
However, the fact remains that each of these countries, be it U.S., China or India will act in terms of their national self interest. Considering this fact it will not be surprising if China pulls out a rabbit from its hat at the last moment. China’s affiliations to a Pakistan cannot be discounted.
That pleasing Pakistan serves China’s self-interest much more than agreeing to India’s demand is a fact that cannot be ignored.
