In the 1990s US fostered China's economic growth, particularly by facilitating its entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001. A strategic error based on flawed liberal assumptions, as it enabled China to rise as a major global power, potentially challenging US hegemony. Post soviet collapse US had no need strategically for china and it was a poor backwards nation built up by US investment. Would the US pivot from china to india result in empowering the jeets in the same way creating a powerful foe that didn't need to exist? We took out the russians then propped up the chinese are we about to make the same short sided error proping up india to take down china? China already being in a demographic death spiral wasn't gonna be a longterm threat so why invest american capital expertise and industry in india?

You forget Clinton and friends got a few million dollars for selling out the country, so it was worth it for them at the time!

The United States gained nothing from the collapse of the USSR except a moral victory. The EU has expanded, Asia has become more independent, and relations with Russia have become even worse than they were under the USSR. The US dollar still needed a foothold to maintain its status. The alliance with China provided this support, as they began to trade only for the dollar, it was just as important a deal as the deal with the Saudis. You naively think that the main problem of the United States was the USSR, and after the collapse there were no problems, but in fact this only became another round of the decline of Western civilization and the growth of Asia.

India is way too fucking incompetent to every get to chinese levels of development. I shit you not. India's capita STILL is less developed than tier 3 cities in fucking Vietnam. This is a country that got bombed and invaded by FOUR superpower this century and it's already overtaking India.

That is right

China was a big winner of world war 2, which gave its people no reason to support US (besides keeping the US at bay)
