Yes, to create tensions between India and PRC, and to prevent the formation of a pan-Asian bloc headed by the Soviet Union. For a period in the 50s, both India and China had close relations with the USSR (closer than they had with the U.S.) and this was viewed as a threat.

You might actually be right.

The Bush nuclear deal maybe viewed as a China type kissinger move; a
lollipop to prevent a modern day Russia/China/india alliance forming, even though
remote and keeping India on the west's side.

The SCO in the future can be a bigger threat India and Pakistan may both join with
Russia and China leading it (Screwing Kissingers terrible idea of keeping China away from Russia)

SCO is a pipedream...

SCO is a pipedream...

It is an organized grouping of Asian nations that did not exist before just that fact alone
is a threat to non Asian countries similar groupings of Latin American countries are
viewed with a lesser disdain.
