Indian economic success is an American interest on its own. So is the open approach taken by India and Brazil on issues such as governance of the Internet, at a time when Russia and China are seeking more authoritarian control.
将美印关系的改善仅仅置于中国实力崛起的背景下考察是一个错误。印度的经济成功本身就符合美国的利益。印度和巴西对互联网治理持开放态度也是如此，而俄罗斯和中国寻求更加极权的互联网控制。
