By Asian nations looking to ‘lead world’ in an EU-style community, does they mean China and India run Asia at the cost of the other nations?

Asian nations discussed plans at a major summit Saturday to “lead the world” by boosting economic and political cooperation and possibly forming an EU-style community.
The prime ministers of regional giants China and India also looked to foster unity on the sidelines of the summit in Thailand after months of trading barbs over long-standing territorial issues.
But nuclear-armed North Korea and military-ruled Myanmar were also set to top the agenda in the royal beach resort of Hua Hin, underscoring the challenges still facing the region.

The European Union is, basically, a French jockey riding a German military horse.  If Asia created a EU style government, I would expect something very similar; however, I have a hard time seeing China giving up political or military control to India (or any other country).
