Saber Rattling in East Asia

Much like Russia with NATO, China is building up its maritime and air capabilities in the South
China Sea and testing the strength of the alliance between the United States and our key partners in
the Asia Pacific. Meanwhile, North Korea continues to conduct missile tests and to threaten not only
South Korea in particular and regional stability overall, but also the United States. What more must
be done to confront these challenges, and is the alliance up to it?

Lived in China and loved it, China is a superpower on the rise while America is in rapid decline, sadly. During my stay in China I was impressed by the friendliness and hospitality. In spite of the western propaganda china's police are super friendly and professional, always reminds me of Mayberry from the 60's Andy Griffith Show. Far less scary dealing with friendly and polite Chinese police than trigger happy American police.

China is already a great power 2k ago, it is nothing new, so no point of talking of chinese resurgence or aggressiveness, It is now the 21st century so no need to belittle China
