The Wall Street Journal: China seize the opportunity to showcase the power relations _ | | WSJ news

　　Reference news net reported on June 8 foreign media said Shangri-La dialogue is a major Asia's annual Security Conference, recently held in Shangri-La dialogue beyond, diplomats and policy experts reached a consensus on two points.

United States the Wall Street Journal said on June 4, first of all, China believes that the remainder of the term of Obama is the appropriate timing for China's continued dominance in the Western Pacific. Second, China at the meeting showed that "intimidating" hurt himself, in essence, helping weaker neighbors to seek United States help.

Reports suggest 1th weakened 2nd: with Washington primarily seek to reduce overseas commitments, it is not suitable for Asian friends to resist China's "bullying". Therefore, China's "threat" may seem shortsighted, but also very reasonable. In the United States on whether to lead a strong comeback contradiction comes as "intimidation" of neighbouring countries is the most effective.

Major General Zhu chenghu, analysts said, and United States foreign policy has suffered a "erectile dysfunction". He says for example, major general, United States to Putin's weakness, he United States "at a time of territorial disputes between China and its neighbouring countries intervene or military intervention" of disbelief.

Reports, which bring people back to the La delegation shared views that the Obama administration was unlikely to use force to stop in the South China Sea "violation". United States in Asia "transfer points", but also cut the army. By 2020, the United States air force and the Navy 60% in Asia, 50% rise than it is now, but that army of 60% will be reduced by 60%.

It was reported that a Pentagon Assistant Secretary in March admitted that due to budgetary reasons, "pivot" policies "are re-examining, because frankly, it is unable to reach. "Recently, Obama's speech at West point was not mentioned in the" pivot "policy. United States Supreme Commander in Asia warned that deficiencies with its submarine fleet, implement back island amphibious operational capabilities were also flawed.

Reported, in this case, Chinese neighbours to United States may incur some losses. Beijing's thinking seems to be that United States would promote Japan military cooperation started sending troops to bases in the Philippines, Viet Nam for a port visit, and so on, but when China ground and air when the facts changed, United States mostly just gonna look. For Beijing, this deal is very cost-effective.

Think about China's policy towards North Korea. For years, Washington warned China that unless it is controlling the nuclear ambitions of Pyongyang, or United States military presence in East Asia will expand, adding new missile defence and other resources that Beijing does not like. China would prefer United States don't have that kind of military power in East Asia, but Beijing has been helping the Pyongyang regime survival and threaten China and surrounding area rivals in Asia as a primary interest. Benefits of a nuclear North Korea over United States in neighboring limited price.

Reports in the South China Sea seems to have made a similar bet, that is, now is the time to "intimidation of deterrence", because the United States response will be limited. Unless the Obama administration changes this projection, or Beijing's behavior is fair game. (Compile/Wei Xiaohui)
