Just Curious

Please state the answer in the form of a question... Just Curious is the occassional blog of Andrew Nelson. In an attempt to balance the polemical tone of most of the blogosphere, all entries hope to pose at least one useful question. Many entries simply advance useful memes. Personal entries may abandon the interrogative conceit.

could U.S. interns give India an edge over China?

Many people will have read this morning's story in the NYT on American business interns who spend the summer in India. The story briefly notes why such interns are going to India instead of China:

Many are in India to study globalization firsthand, Mr. Karnik said; that is often not possible in China because, unlike India, English is not widely spoken there.
Over time, could the relationships American MBAs build with Indian society make them prefer relationships with Indian businesses over Chinese ones, even if the latter are cheaper? Or would other economic factors almost always prevail?
