>>212543107India doesn't have much to offer either, and is in no position to be a superpower. They have a lot of internal problems and will probably stagnate the same way Pakistan has. They're barely able to maintain a sphere of influence in South Asia, they're a global non-factor despite their massive population.
>Also, the tech sector here is second only to America's, there's a very good reason why most big companies have RnD divisions hereSuperpowers want their own independent tech sector, they don't want to piggyback off and be beholden to another power. Any co-operation will be them just wanting to mimic your shit and then have nothing to do with you.
When push comes to shove, all your neighbors that hate you can offer so much more. Resources and a massive consumer market are worth much more than being 3 years ahead in chip fabs or having slightly better software.
