Try to look at it from a Chinese point of view, or try to imagine what the US reaction would be to a few squadrons of Chinese warships patrolling just outside the territorial line in the Mexican gulf on the pretense of protecting Cuba's maritime interests? and try and come up with a scenario where the US is as passive as the Chinese have been. Then try and remember that the US Navy did spend about a century acting as corporate thugs for a bunch of mostly Japanese cartels doing the unequal treaty period until China re-emerged as a independent state under the communist in the 50ies followed by about 30years of the US pretending that the puppet regime in Taiwan was the rightful rulers of china and today backs the a Japanese government that don't feel japan have anything to be ashamed of in regard to their occupation of Chinese territory. It's way to easy for someone with a basic western education using only mainstream western news sources to forget that the world looks quite a bit different to everybody else that the west behavior have historically never been consistent with anything the west considered to be core western values and that those behaviors havent been forgotten in the east. Even more modern examples have demonstrated to the 3rd world that you cannot necessarily trust to US to implement a democratic system even if they gain 110% control over a region either due to incompetence or other motives. I.E. i doubt there is any genuine 3rd world pro-democracy movement that want the kind of help the West have provided in the middle east or Caucasus. The North Korean conflict have to be seen in the light of the very genuine distrust the Chinese have for not just the US government but also Japan's claim that they actually represent anything related to western values. And you begin to understand why the Chinese cannot really tolerate a reunification under the current week and in the Chinese's government view non-independent South Korean government. |
