Yes, that needs to be told !

"By now, even the most casual observer of goings on in Asia will have noted the aggressive geopolitical maneuvering of China..."

After all, the chinese Navy cruises every day in front of Americas Coast, while the Americans would never dream of provoking and threatening China by sending their military to east Asia, right?

China is innocent because it hasn't picked on the biggest kid in the class but instead has bullied the weaker ones?

That's an interesting take on the situation.

How many wars has Amerika been involved in last ten, twenty, thirty years? And how many were against bigger nations, and do the numvbers for China.

You can count, can you?

But then... you have not understood the comtent of my comment in the first place

Then perhaps you need to focus more on your poor writing skills if I 'misunderstood' you attempt at a smoke screen. You brought up America in an article about a book about China's actions in Asia. Last I checked, the United States isn't in Asia. "But America!" is a poor excuse and a poor defense in terms of China's aggressive actions towards its neighbors. India is not the United States, and yet China violates its borders. The Philippines is not the United States, and yet China steals its land. Vietnam is most definitely not the United States, and yet China constantly butts heads with it. China has attempted to browbeat the rest of East and Southeast Asia and is getting more aggressive about it. That has nothing to do with the actions of the United States.
