It is a response to China, no matter what Gates claims in dementi.

It's also about the resource fields in the South Chinese Sea.

Meanwhile Obama expressed support for India's wish to become the 6th permanent memeber of the UN security council. A logical gesture. I see India as a key player in the region, with in the longterm maybe even brighter economic prospects than China. I wish Europeans would try harder to reach a better common lineup with India. But it seems Europeans are more busy with headlessly overstretching the EU with additional, far from vital memebers.

It is ironic. The EU wanted to win in political weight by becoming larger and larger. By following that "strategy", it in fact became lighter and more meaningless on the international stage, since the more people crowd the European kitchen, the worse the cooking must be.
