We have heard too many predictions of the US enlisting India, along with its traditional allies such as Japan, Australia and South Korea to gang up on China. Old news. My personal prediction is India will be more than happy to be drawn closer to the US to reap all sorts of benefit, primarily to keep China in check; but it will not become another Japan, aka "Britain of Asia". I think deep down India is very proud and independent nation which does not allowed itself to play a secondary role. Japan will remain a "no question asked" ally, and it will form some sort of unofficial alliance with India for the common enemy, China. China on the other hand will remain defiant as it is today. I don't see countries hastily jumping into the frey when something happens in Tibet, Taiwan, Korea and Pakistan etc. China will continue its tight grip on Tibet, India, Japan and the US can do nothing but to express their "concerns". Taiwan, if a war breaks out, it will be China vs. Japan-backed US, I just don't see how India will play a role in it. The future of Korea will have to be negotiated by Russia/China on one side and US/Japan/South Korea on the other side. China's influence over Pakistan is waning and the US and India will play a bigger role, Japan will have no input whatsoever. Sounds like this book does not offer anything new, if I may say.
