China's SCS Strategy Thread

[manqiangrexue]

Every state by its very nature will maximize its own interest, power and prestige while minimizing its rivals. That is the whole premise of realist theory of geopolitics.

Somehow cpc is different is completely not true and seems naive thinking.

Anyways, as I said, in historical hindsight China not pressing its SCS claims more vigorously while it had the chance will be seen as a blunder.

Counties like Philippines are only getting stronger over time.

We always have the chance, which does not depend on America's presense or absense, and the further we move into the future, the greater that chance because China is the only country growing meaningfully stronger. American strength wanes in the region in comparison and Filipino "strength" is a non-factor. The only blunder is you thinking that China wants to pull a fast one while the US is gone while in actuality, the whole point is to demonstrate to the world how useless the US is in Asia.
