No, I did not mean any ONE, I mean anyone. The Chinese may be getting powerful, but to oppose them is not just the US, but also Japan, India, Australia, Vietnam, South Korea, Singapore etc.

That's why the Chicoms have been furiously romancing all the ASEAN countries and trying to become "one of the boys" in all the councils that were originally set up to provide a counterweight to blowhard Chinese foreign-policy claims.

They're pushing Chinese ownership of the South China Sea and East China Sea all the way out beyond the Ryukyus to the toe of the Asian continental slope (for economic reasons, and also to isolate Japan and Taiwan) -- including the water column.

They're also running a constant anti-U.S. commentary intended to encourage Asians to see their interests as separate from those of their allies, and convergent with those of Greater China/the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
