The hard part about reading these kinds of things is that China is doing essentially what the United States has been doing since WWII. We put missiles everywhere... Right in China's doorstep even.
I just pray that as China grows in military strength they'll also grow in a desire for peace. Right now they are behaving like someone that has something to prove.
- CamperBob2 11y agoRight now China faces an interesting social problem -- their population includes millions of military-age men who are demographically doomed to remain single. Unfortunately, from their leadership's perspective, that means that the lives of those young men are cheap disposable resources. If the Chinese want to become belligerent, expansionistic players on the world stage, right now's the best shot at it they'll ever have.
