Uh, no.

The reality is that American Power in Asia is on the rise.

Trump has stopped the bleeding and the patient is healing.

When was the last time Norklandia let off a missile over Japan?

When was the last time (never) China sent out its ships to play footsie with an American warship or Battle Group while transiting China's so-called Maritime Security Zone?

Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, India South Korea all reaching out in friendship and solidarity in common cause. And delivering on considerable defense commitments.

The Chinese Hegemon challenged, or brought to heal on ALL fronts.

In fact, that's the apparent philosophy of the Trump foreign policy...to use all elements and capabilities of American power (economic, military, financial, diplomatic) in concert to pursue American interests.

And to choose battles wisely.

The countries in Asia see this and have immense respect for our President. The Chinese never thought they'd see anything like this from the US.

Europe is next.

If Trump doesn’t have a land war with the PRC, then he’ll be in trouble with ED WONG, huh.

Okay.

Like I'd trust somebody named *Wong* writing in the New York Slimes about how Trump is failing in Asia.

How do we know he isn't just a plant from Chicom intelligence?

"..internal battles in India and Hong Kong or the rivalry between two American allies, Japan and South Korea, Mr. Trump and his advisers are staying on the sidelines."

As well President Trump should. Interfering in other countries internal affairs should be completely avoided.

As for Hong Kong, the british handover does not completely absolve the british of responsibility. Where is the protestations from the UK?

The last time North Korea shot off a missile over the Sea of Japan was August 5. It was the fourth test in 13 days.

"Washington has chosen inaction"

Yes, it looks like doesn't it. But other than state the obvious, would the editors or Mr. Wong care to give the President advice on a course other than inaction?
