Those are happy thoughts, but do you really think China is going to let itself be surrounded by an alliance of prosperity rather than vassal or stressed and worried states without some pushback?

China will be some sort of partners in any deal. The other side has to get something out of it. USA has some big issues with China and has incentive to shut China off from the American Market which is what the tariffs on Canadian metal are all about. That metal is transshipped from China. China’s takeover of the major nexus of sea trade in the South China Sea is a very big deal. My thought would be that we should designate a Fleet for that zone and and put its Asian side home port at Cam Ranh but Trump will probably fix things withoug something that close to a war.
