This is an interesting post. And I know nothing about China’s strong arm tactics. Is there a good document to read on this subject?
Kind of weird to see the Post criticizing China.
China is trying to make up for decades of wimpism...
China doesn’t view building popular support as valuable. It is much cheaper for them to get the other country’s leaders in a closed room to make a “deal” against the interest of their own people.
It sounds as if the Chinese know how to further their objectives.
APEC then needs to eject Communist China from the group as that regime really only wants to disrupt any use of it against their (Chi-Coms) unfair practices and bullying of other nations.
APEC should then reconvene in a month and immediately create a strengthened pact : to as a group, counter with strong action any move that China makes against its members.
Now the real commie aspect of Red China is coming to the fore.
Soon we will see a line in the sand.
I have no doubt that we will cross it in defiance.So will Japan.
