U.S. Defense Secretary is lying just like Collin Powell regarding Iraq's arms of mass destruction on purpose to iritate the Chinese who caN'T lie. This is U.S. psychological warfare MEANT TO IRRITATE the Chinese to THE MAXIMUM. The USA has built U.S. military bases in former Soviet countries on China's western flank, A CLEAR CONFRONTATIONAL ACT meant to "unhinge" the Chinese. The Indo-Pacific QUAD qualifies as a "de facto" Asian NATO. And YES the USA has for decades working on DIVIDING THE ASIAN REGION into two (2) opposing blocks in order TO PROVOKE A WAR that has "decades in the making" by the USA whose sole objective is to KILL AS MANY ASIANS AS POSSIBLE using LIMITED NUCLEAR WARFARE. THE TWO (2) TRIGGER POINTS that THE AMERICANS are concentrating on in order to achieve their objective is Taiwan + North Korea. By being NON-REACTIVE, North Korea is NO LONGER "being played" by THE AMERICANS. China should do the same: be NON-REACTIVE like North Korea + reward North Korea for having "the upper hand" with THE AMERICANS. By having joint military exercises with THE AMERICANS South Korea is stupidly playing into the hands of THE AMERICANS like the Vietnamese. The American military bases in Asia - especially in South Korea + Japan is facilitating THE ARMED CONFLICT that THE AMERICANS have been planning to have FOR DECADES. Those military bases are THE BIGGEST THREAT to the national security of South Korea + Japan. An armed conflict would mean the lost of their independence as they would be integrated into China. With THAT as the final outcome China could possibly welcome this conflict as it would also mean THE END OF HOSTILE AMERICAN INFLUENCE in the region that seeks to DIVIDE ASIANS + diminish their chances of prosperity for the whole region. The Chinese should be happy knowing they have THE MONEY + THE AMERICANS are BROKE + therefore, NOT CREDIBLE. The Chinese reaction to THE AMERICANS is to give them TOO MUCH CREDIBILITY resulting in A PSYCHOLOGICAL WIN for THE AMERICANS at the expense of the Chinese. To take THE AMERICANS seriously is JUST BEING SILLY. THE AMERICANS are clowns. You laugh at the clown. (Ha! Ha!) Ken, Toronto, CANADA
