A few examples:
Iran, the next north korea.
Freedom of naviagtions.
Freespeech.
Job stealing in the west by total slavery and with 0 respect for the earth.
Continuous weapon program to reach parity.
The will to regulate and subjugate the market liberty and all aspect of life to the will of the cccp.
I see 0 peaceful initiatives from there. Only gaining time until they reach leathal superiority. If allowed to ger there it will be a war, they will provoke to expand. So or they are stopped now with still western edge and sent back or later in a more symetrical and ugly way.
Advantages: once chinese power is reduced to hashes, it will possible to restore sanity worldwide (iran, nk, authoritarian regimes, attack on freespeech, restore the earth, trade freely and fairly).
Otherwise they will continue to conspire ans weaken by all means the west.
A war with china will be over in a single minute, full quantic: 1billion+ Deaths).
The windows of opportunity is getting smaller everyday...
Please prove me wrong... but you can't, i bet.
Their power is augmenting everyday but is nothing if they want to weaken the West. West is superior in many life aspects comparing to China, freedom of speech, freedom of trade, freedom of choice, freedom of vote to name some. Freedom cannot be weaken with augmenting power from China or Iran regimes. As long as we stand to our values we will be free and happy.
This is very easy to say for someone who is not at the receiving end of China's ambitions. Tell this to Vietnam who's finding no choice but to further integrate its economy with China because of the failed TPP. Tell this to the Philippines who's capital would soon be within striking range from the islands China reclaimed. I may not agree with the US nuking China but if China wants to be recognized as world power, it must gain respect first and that would be hard to get if you can't even treat your neighbors properly. I'm for containment if just to show them that they must be responsible and they can't just barge their way in into other's turf.
