I realize of course we are far apart politically, but I appreciate that you are sincere and thoughtful in your posts. So it's disappointing to see you jump on board the Trump train (bi partisan as it is) for regime change in China. I would have thought the US regime change debacles across the ME would given thinking people pause for thought.
"Western democracies are finally aligning and resolving to push back against aggressive territorial actions"
It was only after Obama stood next to a newly installed Julia Gillard in Parliament and announced the "pivot to Asia" and the new US military base in NT that China started to militarize the South China Sea reefs and islands. The Chinese knew what that meant way back then and acted defensively, as any nation would. Still the US military has China completely surrounded, the "aggressive territorial actions" are entirely on the US side.
