When they stop bulldozing Catholic churches......and roughing up Catholics.
Give them a little bit of power and they will start acting cocky with the big neighbor and then we will have a situation requiring our response. We need that.
Any of China’s neighbours would be ill-advised to get cocky with China, because even if they did get modern weapons, they will never be able to match China. What is more, China has an angry surplus male population thanks to a combination of male chauvinism, abortion and one-child policy. A nice little war would be very handy for burning some of those disgruntled men off and releasing some of the social tension...
