India,	actually.

How very true John, but I don't see India butting into their buddy 
(more or 
less currently) China's squatter tactics in the Paracels or  Spratleys. 
Now 
if they become significant rivals in some way then yes	India is a
significant 
part of the equation.  Lots can happen in 5  years.
 
And for those who wonder where I stand...I see a PRC CV possibly  built
but 
not operational in 5 years.  I also think it will be a show piece  more
then a 
critical design factor in a PRC Blue Water Navy  schema.
