Interesting article, the result of the the first time in 50 years that press were allowed to sit in for all session's of the Trilateral Commission's Asia group.

China's rise is evidently making East-Asian elites increasing weary of obeying U.S demands for total obedience to their directives. On the other hand, the magnitude of China's gains over recent decades has also drawn India closer into America's orbit, due to a fear of being outmatched as a power in Asia.

    China wasn’t there in this meeting. But two points:

    Positive: If forced to choose, it is mentioned that SE Asian countries will choose China over U.S.

    Negative: India is more anti-China than ever before (well, since the war). As a rising power, it is being groomed by western capital to take on China.
