China's growing assertiveness and economic heft across Asia, combined
with a newly reticent United States, is making countries in the region
wonder if and when they'll have to choose sides between Washington and
Beijing.
That's exactly what appeared to happen last week, after India rejected Australia's request to send warships to participate in big naval exercises in the Bay of Bengal. News reports painted the rejection as a way for India to appease China, or at least avoid needlessly provoking Beijing.
After Kevin Rudd became Australian Prime Minister, he held several meetings with Chinese officials, and in February 2008 Australia withdrew from the quad in a joint press conference with the Chinese foreign minister.
"New Delhi hasn't forgotten Canberra's hasty capitulation a decade ago," said Nitin A. Gokhale, a New Delhi-based national security analyst, in an email to FP. "Moreover, the foreign policy establishment is aware of the deep economic and political relations that Australia and China have."
