China's expansion into the Asian Pacific region needs to be viewed with all the seriousness that partners in the ASEAN conference obviously do
The agreement to build a Naval Base on Manus Island which will be mounted by a partnership of Asian nations is drawing a line in the sand to the Chinese
The Chinese already have a road building and construction program underway particularly in South Pacific nations which are poor. These are in the form of 'loans' which it is patently clear they have no hope of repaying. Often these projects are nonsensicle and not needed
However China's strategy is to have these Countries 'indebted' to them thereby creating huge leverage
It is welcoming that the U.S. in particular recognises the immense danger that China poses as it flexes its muscle in the Pacific with its 'building' of islands then militarising them
We should be distancing ourselves from China it has already been exposed that China has directed its huge companies such as Huwaii to spy on foreign Governments and customers
China is the Big Brother that Orwell predicted and we must resist it with all our might
Or you could do a Trump and meet them on a non-threatening 'equal' ground (unlike previous Presidents who 'belittle' China as a political 'naughty kid') which results in much respect and honour.
This 'annoyed' Putin and Russia: how dare China put on such a lavish welcome for Trump of the USA !

...but this is how Trump plays his cards: He makes Russia 'over-confident' directly, but less confident in-directly through China.
In the end, Trump's work will be seen 'after' he is gone from Presidency.
He will be remembered as the President who turned CHINA against RUSSIA. He made China Darth Vader pick up the evil Russian Emperor and throw him into the Abyss.
Trump knows that Russia is the reason why everything in Asia is up the clacker. Why China 'fears' USA, which justifies its military expansionism. Which is why Trump reinforces that USA has no intention of 'invading' China - even the N.Korea. That USA is being 'defensive' only.
So if the USA won't 'invade' - then who will China fight then?

In the end, China will invade Russia.
Yeah - sure, the Media will have you think otherwise.
Let alone, get the news 3 months after the word is out.
The Media hasn't really got a clue and is probably one of the perpetrators as to why the world is stuffed up currently.
So Trump has put into place the orthodox approach of negating Russia once and for all - not directly, but indirectly via China.
Eventually, after Trump is gone. You will get a blonde Aryan-Angel President. The Media will hate him too. But he will put an end to the MING THE MERCILESS military agenda of China.
The Ranga starts it.
The Blonde finishes it.
