China is not openly and repeatedly threatening to invade its allies militarily. And I say "allies", but at this point it's rather "partners". And those ex-allies wish they did not depend so much on the US.
- p3rls 2y agoChina has only one ally, North Korea. Singular. A real dream team of human flourishing.
- palata 2y agoAre you trying to say that it's better to have an "ally" that threatens to invade you than having a "partner" that doesn't?

- dragonwriter 2y agoOf China? Technically, I believe, no, in the sense of having a mutual defense pact; practically, yes, at least, more so than they are of, say, the US (with whom they also do not have a mutual defense pact), which has legally designated Pakistan a "major non-NATO ally".
- Ekaros 2y agoIt is reasonable view point considering history that you don't necessarily have allies. Well Europe had them. But most of the world being screwed over time after time have extremely good reasons to not trust west. China being all about business is very reasonable, both sides will try to do best for themselves. Which is power dynamic that you can trust to continue.
