The only nation I see pushing is PRC.I'm consistent in saying China takes advantage of its power to pursue its national interests. Like other nations, China rather go with peaceful and cooperative means, because that's easier, but should push comes to shove, China would use all of its power, including bribery, coercion, and intimidation to achieve its objectives. Can you name a great power that doesn't?
I also remember that all nations using the aforementioned tactics ultimately loses to the lesser power when given enough time.
