Goras are always smart and are always 2 paces ahead of Asians.
So, they devised some dubious strategy "to control the development of India & China".
The economies of developed countries are slowing down and hence there is no scope for more business in those countries.
Plus, all these developed countries want to make money in India & China.
"Behti ganga mein haath dho lo" !!
So, sell technology to India & China and also get a chance to pollute more (that way capacity of their companies can be increased or new companies can be opened in the name of carbon credits).
In the end, India & China will have to struggle to achieve their objectives. Both countries will take atleast 10 years more to come close to be called a "semi-developed country" but where as by 2012, these countries will be sitting pretty.
There is definitely some tricks in this new game. Its not that simple as it looks.
And about MCX, its just a gimmick. They just want to make some money ... thats it.
