Thing is we all know what the West is like. Mirchi lagi hain unko
Remember when India and Pakistan exploded nuclear bombs? Their clique got so worried - it was like - "Shyte, we can't play with these babies directly now..." and must have made a poker face.....
What we do is some petty fighting...but then we are aware what the USA and the West do - Exporting democracy, World Wars etc...
Actually deep down Indians like it if China is doing something awesome(especially if the Brits get angry). But then it also hurts if she does it better than India
But a healthy competition is cool.
