And how do you expel America from the region without working with these countries? Do you have a plan other than China needs to get stronger? You think just by getting stronger, these countries will say we don't want America anymore?
Frankly, I don't even have a problem with usa being in western Pacific. Taiwan is the only issue. Other than that, I don't see any reason to make usa leave Japan, or even south Korea. I mean who wants an independent re militarized Japan? Do you? I don't. And I doubt anyone else in Asia or even the whole world does either, no matter how they talk or act publicly right now.
I see usa as just wasting it's money having bases in Japan and all over the world, and china itself benefits from such a system. Not to mention wasting lives and making endless enemies by invading and causing endless wars, which china just capitalizes on. It's the exact reason why BRI is so sucessful and nothing usa or even eu does can counter it. Because global south sees them as imperialist and colonialists, and china as non aligned non imperialist power. Having "allies" and playing world police and sanctioning and doing all that will change everything. Thst is not what china should be doing unless it has no other option, like usa goes bankrupt or has massive internal chaos and collapses and can no longer play world police. I mean when usa is wasting all it's money and making endless enemies and this all benefits china, why would china not only want to change that, but instead be the idiot making the mistakes instead that others can capitalise on like china is now? That would be the height of folly. You talk like usa having 800 bases and playing world police is a benefit. I don't see it that way and I doubt china does either. You talk about Monroe doctrine and all that like it is some super doctrine rather than a weakness which china has capitalized on. No one in south America or middle east or Africa or ASEAN likes usa. They are all just waiting for china to get richer and more powerful(and to bring them up to he powerful enough to defend themselves from usa), and this is ALREADY happening as we speak. Like I said, BRI is uncounterable simply because of such doctrines and actions/mistakes usa has made and continues to make. That is why even though usa and eu came up with build act or build back better, no one is taking them up on their offer and all is choosing china instead. It's why usa can't even get it's closest allies like australia to even cut china off, even when china is having trade and political dispute with Australia, Australia can only keep begging china to engage with it and has no plan to cut china off or reduce it's trade with china. You seem to think that military bases and global hegemony still mean something.. it doesn't. It will be a multipolar world and there will never be a single pole like usa dominated the world after collapse of Soviet union for like what, 20/30 years? Usa enjoyed those few decades but now it's coming back to bite them in the ass, with more than half of the world hating them which china can and is capitalizing on, while they can do nothing except watch and keep begging even their closest allies to stop trading with china or sanction china, yet even they aren't doing it. Because usa fucked up. Simple as that. China should not make the same mistake, and it isn't.
China just needs to improve it's information warfare/propaganda game. After another 2-3 decades then china can think about supplanting usa, but even then, I don't think having 800 military bases and 800 billion or trillion dollar military budget as a good use of money.
You also seem to be all over the place. You want to emulate usa and kick them out with hard power, you want to make vassals like usa has, but then to do that, you recommend appeasement to even small powerless states like pH or Vietnam. Why would they become vassals if you folded and appeased them? If anything that will only make them more bold and ask for more and more. It makes no sense. You're all over the place.
If you want to do what you want to do, with hard power and usa style sanctions and coups and bring them all into chinas orbit as vassal states, then again, the best way is to keep biding our time and keep doing what were currently doing, while we keep building up our Military and economic ties, and make ourselves unsanctionable and completely self reliant first, and match if not double usas economy(and equal or be bigger than usa and eu combined).
After that china can do whatever it wants. This will happen in another two/three decades probably, which is nothing. By such a time, china can just resolve Taiwan and SCS disputes by force. There is no need to appease anyone at this moment, china's leverage will only increase as time goes on, which obviously benefits china.
Until such time I don't see any reason why we should kick usa out of west pacific, they can't do anything to china anyway and if anything they are doing china's work for us for free. Like keeping Japan in line and keeping them militarily and culturally crippled. They will also do the same to India and also to Russia, as we've seen. Theyve pushed Russia right into chinas arms with Ukraine. It doesn't get any better for china than that, and china didn't have to do shit, and china gets to keep moral high ground and everything. One couldn't ask for a better position to be in than china's currently..
It's like everything is going right for china while the rest of the world can't seem to stop shooting themselves in the foot and destroying their own credibility or economies and making endless enemies with each other while china just capitalizes on everything. And the best part is they can't do anything to china except make china richer and more powerful, and they are all more reliant on china than ever and this will only keep getting more one sided in china's favor as time goes on and china's economy and technological strength keeps growing, along with the global souths(which hates usa and west).
Now is not the time to be making any drastic moves, that will only help china's enemies. Just see Russia. Don't take the bait. Keep flexible and keep rising as long as possible. Don't interrupt your enemy when they are only making mistakes over and over.
There's nothing for china to gain by giving up SCS islands or appeasing small irrelevant countries who can't do anything and aren't global or even middle powers. Same as playing world police. Nothing for china to gain from doing that, and only everything to lose and making endless enemies and wasting money and political capital. Let usa play world police, it benefits china just fine. Like usa keeping Japan down, keeping middle east in check, etc etc.
It's like good cop bad cop. Usa plays bad cop, china plays good cop, but china gets all the benefit while usa gets nothing but all the hate.
All china needs to do is build up it's media assets and cultural strength, so that if/when the time comes, china can also use it's military and economic might and get away with it like usa and west do currently. This won't be hard if china keeps playing good cop and usa playing bad cop, because it's actually true. China just needs to tell it's side of the story, aka the truth. Usas house of cards will buckle easily, but now is not the time, because believe it or not, china still benefits immensely under usa led world order. Yes, even with all the Xinjiang genocide and Taiwan and SCS and Tibet anti china propaganda, china is still the massive winner and usa still the massive loser.
Sure it sucks for those small countries like iraq and Afghanistan and all the countries usa has fucked and is still fucking over, but they aren't china's problem(for now). China's still not strong enough to take on and change and control the whole world yet(to achieve world peace). Even usa isn't, and they never were.. they just exploited and oppressed majority of the world for benefit of themselves and few western vassals. Hardly some 4d chess super strategy. I don't see why china should emulate usas foreign policy which has been a disaster(in the long run) and is now coming back to bite them in the ass. They got lucky due to geography after WW2 and had a good 2-3 decades only. That is nothing, even compared to past Chinese dynasties which had accomplished much more and for much longer. Their house of cards will collapse as soon as china blows it, but no need to do that yet since like I said, it benefits china immensely still to operate under such a system still(and why china bailed usa out to tune of 1 trillion during 2008 GFC). When it doesn't, then china can make those necessary moves. But that time has not come yet.
