WSJ: China, India Border Stoke Rivalry

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:14:12 GMT

Interesting time for this very compelling story in the Wall Street Journal as we were just having this discussion in the past 2 weeks in one of our comment threads - the potential friction between India and China as they "grow up".
