Politics in the times of danger
The aggressive political scenarios of the West will not help us pacify the sleeping dragon of the East (China), its occupation of Afghanistan, Iraq and potential threat to Pakistan and China has not put it in any better diplomatic position as sheer power and respect for a nation doesn’t come from bullying attitudes, but it comes from display of wealth, prosperity and international relations stands and view points.
China the other hand has played its cards well by putting the word out there very subtly that it will not budge to the bully and at the same time keep its integrity in the most possible way, it doesn’t mean that it will go out of its way to do that. This has included certain actions which continues to occur, the bullying of oil works off the coast of the disputed South China Sea and the inspection of the RIMPAC and VALIANT SHIELD exercises on the islands of Guam.
The ideal platform for China and US power intergeneration in Asia will come from power sharing. If both parties don’t move towards that scenario and if China or US do not wish to back down, this will lead us to potential war of scale that could leave no winners on any side, as no nuclear war is winnable. However what needs to be done is that forces need to be combined to deal with common threats like terrorism as well as the dangerous rogue state of North Korea.
