David Shambaugh said "China is making southeastern Asia countries economically dependent on China, not interdependence but dependence"

Go ask people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria how their life was before US troops came. And go to southeastern Asian countries ask people there how they think of China.

Even the intellectuals of US are double-standard hypocrites.

One thing whichMr. David Shambaugh is right is that both China and the US should not ask ASEAN states to choose, which just push them into the opposite side.
