		However, in the broader context of India's and Pakistan's attempts to improve relations with Southeast and East Asia, certain factors should be noted.
		South Asia is tangential to all of these dynamics, but plays a central role in none.
		From its viewpoint, India's grievances in its relations with East Asia is justified: Japan and Germany are offered UN Security Council seats, India is not; India is not invited to join APEC; and the United States was strongly opposed to the idea of including India in the ARF.

		When the joint allied command was agreed upon, it was decided that the senior position should be held by a member of the British military because the British dominated Allied operations on the South-East Asian Theatre by weight of numbers (in much the same way as the US did in the Pacific Theater of Operations).
		Stilwell, who also had operational command of the Northern Combat Area Command (NCAC), a US-Chinese formation, was supposed to report to General George Giffard — commander of Eleventh Army Group — so that NCAC and the British Fourteenth Army, under the command of General William Slim, could be co-ordinated.
		His overall role, and the CBI command was then split among three people: Lt Gen. Raymond Wheeler became Deputy Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia; Major-General Albert Wedemeyer became Chief of Staff to Chiang, and commander of US Forces, China Theater (USFCT).

		One must first understand that South-east Asia is a construct so that's the reason we scratch our heads so much when we are trying to find a common culture for South-east Asia.
		And the roots of South-east Asia is warfare and not geography or culture.
		As Emmerson noted: "The United States in effect limited the 'treaty area', where a 'common danger' would justify action, to places subject to 'Communist aggression'." As the organisation of countries was a construct, it fell apart in 1977 after Pakistan withdrew in 1972 and after the Vietnam War ended in 1975.

		General Joseph Stilwell commanded U.S. forces in the CBI Theater, directed aid to China and assisted in the coordination of Chinese operations.

		Encouraged by the U.S., President of South Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem repudiated the Geneva Agreement and put obstacles in the way of the functioning of the International Control Commission, of which India was the Chairman.
		India-China friendship got frozen in the snows of the Himalayas and India's foreign policy was conditioned by increasing China-Pakistan collusion in the subcontinent and the unwillingness of Indian leaders to follow policies that might conflict with those of the superpowers, on whom India increasingly depended for military and economic assistance.

	HyperWar: US Army in WWII: Strategy and Command: The First Two Years [Appendix T]
		Operations in the North Pacific, the South Pacific, China and the South East Asia theater should be conducted in support of the main operations in the Central and South West Pacific.
		British/Indian land forces which can be made available to South East Asia command up to the end of 1944 are likely to be fully committed in carrying out the operations recommended for the season 1943/44, and subsequently extending the area of occupation in Burma and in carrying out additional operations against the enemy.
		This concept is subject to alteration in the light of the progress of the 1943/44 operations and of detailed examination of the forces which will be required for 1944/45, but included in the forces retained in the theater there should be at least one amphibious division.
