their only motto: that which advances chinese interests/imperialism, all else be damned. have to give them credit for single-mindedness.
as compared to india's motto: "india has 16% of the world's population and enjoys 2% of its resources. the objective of the congress party is to ensure that it stays this way".
(due credit to ravi a. who came up with this).
remember george kennan's motto for america: "america has 6% of the world's population and enjoys 50% of its resources. the objective of american foreign policy is to keep it that way".

Just like Mexico, India is Buying Old US Helicopter Carrier
I think this is an excellent idea, as it could greatly help India, not just with disaster relief, but also possible military operations in Sri Lanka and Bay of Bengal, including Bangla, Burma, Thailand.
Besides, US has always had superiority in carrier design to the Soviets and even the British. So it would be good for India to have a US carrier in its hands, to learn how to built its own.
