DNA India: Obama kowtows to China
Likewise, Obama took an exceedingly conciliatory tone with China that amounted to a ritualistic kowtow from the head of an economically enfeebled US to its 'banker'. He held out the assurance that the US "does not seek to contain" China; he praised its contributions in promoting "security and stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan"; and he certified China as being "committed to the global nuclear non-proliferation regime" -- a sentiment that's at dissonance with the most recent Washington Post revelations about China's clandestine transfer of enriched uranium to Pakistan.
