A bid for Asian dominance in Asia?

Do China, India and Russia have enough common ground to form an alliance that could rival American global hegemony? Perhaps they do. The foreign ministers of the three giant states are due to meet for the second time in three years and talk of a tripartite compact among the three may have Washington worried. Between them they comprise 5.9% of global land mass, 39.1% of global population and 8.5% of global GDP. Only in the later category does the US have any advantage, and it is currently a material one, but the growth of both China and India both significantly outstrip that of the US.

If nothing else talk that they will work to ensure that no outside interests maintain dominance within Asia will be most worrisome indeed.
