Boy, looking at this toon, you would think China has a military budget over 4 times larger than ours, not the other way around.We shouldn’t be oblivious to China’s plans to build up it’s ability to project power in the west Pacific, but the warmongers are hyping the threat & exaggerating the scale of China’s actual power.
China’s territorial claims are largely driven by the need to secure natural resources to ensure it’s growth. Our best deterrent is to remind all parties that a peaceful resolution to disputes is a lot cheaper than war.
