The U.S. and China began two days of high-level meetings in Washington on Monday, with nuclear proliferation and the global economic crisis among the issues on the agenda.

Kind of sick of the holier than thou USA . India was conquered without a shot being fired . You and your cousins the British are pretty good at divide and rule because they were incited to fight among themselves..
So we know how the western press can be mobilised to do the work . Western journalist euphemised lies by calling it spin or selective reporting. The paragon of free speech to enslave people with their innuendos , half truths and pretense. It’ll be their joy to see China and India squabble.
