There were a few contenders in the superpower game, EU, Russia, China, India... Why US of A paid so much attention to China? Because they see China is the only serious potential threat to their world hegemony in the near future, EU has a long way to go to get themself integrated into one entity, Russia was smashed in the dust that she still has problem to put the actions together. Indians... with a slave mentality like that will remain to be a bunch of wannabes.
