Forty-five nations approved a U.S. proposal on Saturday to lift a global ban on nuclear trade with India in a breakthrough towards sealing a controversial U.S.-Indian atomic energy deal.
One hurdle remained before the U.S.-India deal can take force -- ratification by the U.S. Congress. It must act before adjourning in late September for elections or the deal could be left to an uncertain fate under a new U.S. administration.

The U.S.-India deal raised international misgivings since India has shunned the almost universal Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) meant to stop the spread and production of nuclear weapons and mandate gradual disarmament, and a companion test ban pact.

Washington says the fuel and technology deal would forge a strategic partnership with the world's largest democracy, help India meet exploding energy demand in an environmentally sound way and open a nuclear market worth billions of dollars.

Of course they will have their own reasons for that. It is nothing of our concern. Let us mind only our business.

The Chinese are hardly bothered about our nuclear deal, but are opposing on grounds of Pak- who are their ally. If they say a bilateral deal can be drafted between India & US, the same should be made possible to Pakistan & US. And the Chinese argue that Pak has more claim to cooperation from US since they're closer allies to US than is India.

And China is a competitor, so they will always try and antagonize us & pull us like this. Did we also not support boycotting China after Tinamen square? Did we also not harbour a most wanted criminal in China (Dalai Lama) ?? Did we not harbour Falun Gong, when they were wanted in China in relation w/ multiple homicide???
