“You have to conclude that Biden’s mouth moved faster than his brain,” Gerald Curtis, director of Columbia University’s Japan Research Program, said in an email about Biden’s remarks. “Japan may be moving too slowly for its own good in welcoming more foreigners to live and work in the country,” he said, but to “lump it” together with China and Russia was “over the top.”
However, India and the United States are not formal allies. Assassination plots against critics of Modi’s government on U.S. soil and the Indian prime minister’s anti-Muslim rhetoric have led many in Washington to view New Delhi with caution.
According to data from the International Monetary Fund, Japan’s GDP is predicted to grow by 0.9 percent in 2024, down from 1.9 percent last year.
India’s growth has also slowed this year, with its GDP forecast to grow by 6.8 percent — down from 7.8 percent last year. China is similarly predicted to decelerate with GDP growth of 4.6 percent predicted this year by the IMF, down from 5.2 percent in 2023. Russia’s GDP has slowed too from 3.6 percent last year to predicted growth of 3.2 percent this year.
