Economic mutually assured destruction. Asia depends on the US, the US depends on Asia. It may not solve all our problems but it's nice to know the world economy is so interwoven at this point that there's no incentive for any one of the major powers to destroy each other. Not bad considering 30 years ago we were on the brink of annihilation over ideologies. If manufacturing and trade gaps are going to be the H-Bombs of the future we should all consider ourselves lucky.
