China’s Global Times described a new regional bloc as a “ridiculous utopia”, in response to a Reuters report that Australia, Japan, India and Vietnam were quietly stepping up talks to form an alliance to counter Beijing’s growing influence.
The editorial (link in Chinese) argued that the countries in the region need to cooperate with China to achieve their “most important tasks”. At the same time, the Trump administration would pay no mind to the message that Washington needs to step up its regional presence. Trump, after all, needs to fix problems at home, regardless of the “grumbling” of allies.
“Talk of Asian countries ‘forming alliances’ to counter China is always attention grabbing, but this discussion actually becoming an effective geopolitical point of leverage is not realistic…
Asia is not the Europe of those days, today is not the Cold War era of the past, making new alliances to counter China will severely harm the geopolitical climate…
it would have no benefit for the countries involved, and for these reasons whatever countries actually raised the flag of such an alliance would be almost as awesome as Don Qixote.”
F— YOU CHINESE GOVERMENT,CHINA EXIT IN ASIAN..RESPECT EZZ PHILPPINES SEA..
It is only natural, and it is to be expected, that the countries of Asia develop overland trade infrastructures of roads & rail. To me, it is amazing that it has not happened sooner. China is building road & rail in Pakistan. India is building it in Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
In a generation, travel & trade in Asia will be revolutionized.
China is behaving schizophrenically.
On one hand, it promotes trade, cooperation, and mutual investment.
THEN, on the other hand, it bullies, and threatens war. It has overtly threatened war with Taiwan, Vietnam, India, and Bhutan. It has implicitly threatened war with Japan, South Korea, and Philippines. It has even bullied Indonesia and Brunei over the South China Sea.
In effect, China has two different, mutually exclusive, foreign poliicies. Do they come from different groups or power centers in China?? It seems so.
I think that the militaristic bombastic approach is already hurting trade and investment in China.
India’s growth will give countries a local more cooperative and peaceful alternative.
I think China is making serious mistakes that will hurt it in the long term.
As a viet, it only hypocritical for me if I don’t condemn this comment. Since I always gungho when an American vet said they should have nuke Vietnam. Countless of million of individuals with hope and dream wipe out in an instance. And that can only start a nuclear war.
Nope la! They don’t & they won’t. Who are they? Locusts only! Locusts attack against our planet keeps happening. Respect? They won’t respect even (others) life whereas they only respect RMB.
p.s. We HKers are eager to see the eight-nation alliance reorganization project so as to conquer that evil Communists of China.
They are barking everyday on some news channels — like a mad frustrated dog … who cares !! …. Whole world is not like Pakistan and North Korea, the $ex slaves of China, who will be busy whole day to make China happy by $uck!ng Chinese 2 !nch long d!ck …. To say true, recently China is behaving like a 4 yr old nagging stubborn girl …. This is very much irritating … this kinda children need a tight slap to teach a lesson.
China needs to learn somethingt: If you want respect YOU HAVE TO GIVE RESPECT. YOU are NOT the only people in the world. The same kind of garbage could be said about OBOR, but no one is doing that because we respect your effort, HOWEVER maybe that respect isn’t justified after all.
Nuke China
