U.S.-India Civil Nuclear Cooperation

India getting its hand filled.

*U.S. President, George W. Bush signed the legislation on the U.S-India nuclear cooperation, approved by the U.S. Congress on October 8, 2008. The U.S congress gave final congressional approval to legislation authorizing civilian nuclear trade with India, which built its atomic bombs outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The framework for this agreement, launched in 2005, was a joint statement by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and U.S. President George W. Bush, under which India agreed to separate its civil and military nuclear facilities and place civil facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards and, in exchange, the United States agreed to work toward full civil nuclear cooperation with India. India is not a party to the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) however the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) granted the waiver to India, allowing it to access civilian nuclear technology and fuel from other countries. The Bush administration is hoping that latching onto India as the rising star of Asia could help them handle China. The United States sees India as a viable counter-weight to the growing influence of China. Right after the U.S House of Representatives passed the nuclear deal in September, India and France inked a similar nuclear pact making France the first country to have such an agreement with India.

ニュースアニメ「アメリカ上院が米印原子力協定を承認、発効へ」
米上院本会議は、米国とインドの民生用原子力協定を承認する法案を賛成多数で可決した。核拡散防止条約（ＮＰＴ）非加盟のインドに核技術・燃料の輸出を可能にするもので、­ブッシュ大統領が２００５年の政策転換により推進してきた同協定が発効し、７４年のインド核実験を契機に始まった禁輸措置は３４年ぶりに解除される。協定は、台頭する中国­をにらみ、インドとの関係を強化する戦略的意味合いに加え、巨大なエネルギー需要を抱えるインドとの原子力ビジネスが目的。ＮＰＴは核兵器保有を米英仏露中の５カ国に制限­。ＮＰＴ非加盟国への核関連輸出は原則禁止されているが、原子力供給国グループ（ＮＳＧ）は核兵器を保有するインドを「例外扱い」することを承認した。フランスも先月末、­インドとの原子力協定に調印。核大国の国益が優先される形で、インドの核保有が容認されつつある。

India is too big and strong to be a puppet of any country. But I prefer India allying with a democracy rather than a communist country.

[shantanubhadoria]

I don't think India would unite with China. Not unless China becomes a secular democracy or something, in which case US won't need to contain China either.

SCO is not really a serious forum. Even one of its main participants, Russia doesn't put much trust in China. Observer state in SCO is maintained by both US and India just like they do in ASEAN. That doesn mean they wanna join the group. The name speaks for itself. 'Observer' means they are there to observe.
