“China’s territorial aggressiveness, which has manifested itself in a mind-bogglingly brazen attempt to claim the South China Sea for its own, is patent. It’s there for all to see, as Japan, Vietnam and other Asian countries, and specifically Southeast Asian countries, except its stooges like Cambodia, have seen, and decried. China is growing and growing fast, and it is starting to show the aggressive, invasive, imperialistic reflexes of countries that do so. Xxx. Xxx. The only way we can really deter China, or any other potential aggressor other than Bangladesh, is not by military confrontation but by diplomatic ingenuity. Not by bringing the fury of our arms to halt the invader in its tracks but by bringing the weight of global condemnation to bear on it to make it rethink the costs of occupation. Xxx. Xxx. Of course, even an Asia-wide or global condemnation of China might not deter it. But it has a far better chance of doing it than a military confrontation. Xxx. Conrado de Quiros
