Just curious, how exactly would you like China to be dealt with?
The same way that I would like all totalitarian regimes to be dealt with.
1. The UN should be dissolved and an organization of democracies should replace it.
2. We should not give them most favored trade status.
3. Military ambitions against a democracy or in an area that is counter to our national interests should be met with clear resolve and followed with action if required.
The only thing our 2 nations(since they have nukes) along with Japan and Australia can do is containment. Do not let their sphere of intrests grow in asia.China would lose a hot conventional (Air and sea I mean)war. Then they would fire nukes. They would lose that as well but our sides would take large losses.What needs to be done is to form an alliance sort of like NATO for the sole purpose of Chicom containment.
