Indians would take exception to your statement as they believe India is a global player in the same league as US, Russia and China.

Exactly. China, US and Russia are the only true global powers and will remain so for the foreseeable future. There's no room for a newcomer.
Interesting to see holland so high up .
And russia nowhere.
Even a City in China- HongKong ranks far far far ahead of poor India! @Chinese-Dragon

Wow! Ivanka is also in the picture. She has a lot of say and her father listens.
What history will Xi and Trump make?

In the midst of many uncertainties about the China-US relationship - the most important bilateral relationship in the contemporary world - Chinese President Xi Jinping held his first ever meeting with his US counterpart, Donald Trump. During the deep-going and long-lasting conversation, Xi emphasized that there are “a thousand reasons to make the China-US relationship work and no reason to break it”. Xi added a historical perspective on his vision of the bilateral relationship when he called for both sides to take political resolve to enhance China-US ties over the next 45 years

We have to watch this bilateral relationship closely.
Why? Because these big two countries matters.
Decisions they make affect the rest, i.e. smaller countries such as Australia, etc.

Ivanka: Trump's secret weapon with China?
(CNN)US President Donald Trump has talked tough on Beijing but America's first family still has big fans in China.
This is largely down to Ivanka Trump, who has helped soften her father's confrontational approach towards Beijing in the eyes of the Chinese public.
Her children have also featured heavily in the charm offensive. A clip of Ivanka's daughter Arabella reciting Chinese poetry went viral in China shortly after Trump was elected -- some interpreted her command of Mandarin as a sign of the Trumps' hidden affinity for the country.

#Trump’s grandson & granddaughter sing traditional Chinese ballad What a Beautiful Jasmine, recite two Chinese ancient poems in Mar-a-Lago
5:56 PM - 7 Apr 2017
Trump's grandchildren were on show again at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate Thursday when the US President met for the first time with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
According to the state-run Xinhua news agency, Arabella and her brother Joseph sang a Chinese folksong "Jasmine" and recited verses from the "Three-Character Classics" as well as Tang dynasty poems to the two presidents.
In February, after the White House failed to send the customary Lunar New Year greeting to Beijing, Ivanka and her daughter paid a visit to the Chinese embassy in Washington for a reception to celebrate the Year of the Rooster.
The two were welcomed by China's Ambassador Cui Tiankai, watched a musical performance and enjoyed paper and sugar sculptures -- the event was featured in a prime-time newscast in China.
Last month, Ivanka posted a picture of her youngest son, who had just turned one, enjoying a bowl of long-life noodles -- a Chinese birthday tradition.
Now with a formal White House role, Ivanka, along with her husband Jared Kushner, attended the lavish dinner with Xi in an ornate private dining room at Mar-a-Lago.
Business ties
Zhang Baohui, a professor of political science at Lingnan University in Hong Kong, said that Beijing has tried to court the US first family to smooth relations with Trump.
"Beijing is keenly aware that Trump relies closely on a very small group of advisers to guide him on policy issues, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump," he wrote in a February op ed for CNN.
Ivanka gets glowing coverage from China's state media. After her visit to the Chinese embassy in Washington, the Global Times, a state-run tabloid, said that she was regarded as the "most influential first daughter" and her "words and deeds are also believed to carry more weight."

"Her appearance at the Chinese embassy, with a certain political and diplomatic significance, could be invigorating to the China-US relationship," the paper said.
Global Times also defended a factory that makes Ivanka Trump branded shoes against allegations of overwork and poor working conditions.
Ivanka is known in China as baifumei -- white, rich and beautiful -- and a recent tweet by Xinhua, China's official news agency, asked people to compare her with Li Bingbing, one of China's most famous actresses.
