China's Belligerence Fuels Southeast Asian Arms Race
The nations of Southeast Asia, fearing the growing power, and seeming willingness to provoke confrontations, of China, have begun to spend a great deal of money to arm themselves against the perceived threats.
For some reason, Blogger would not let me make this quote a part of the original post, but here it is:
"In 2009, when asked to choose a country that would be the greatest source of peace and stability in the region in 10 years, "strategic elites" in the region overwhelmingly choose the United States, according to a survey conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. The country that posed the greatest threat to the region, the survey found, was not North Korea but China."

And, strangely enough, I also found a comment awaiting moderation, from Mauro.
ReplyDeleteSince he labelled it as a test, I have to assume that he is having troubles commenting here.
Mauro, if you are reading this, PLEASE continue to try, while we will attempt to figure out what Blogger has against you.
I changed settings on the comments to never require moderation, it had been set to require on threads more than 90 days old.
ReplyDeleteHope that fixes the problem.
Thanks for changing the moderation settings, DWT. Hopefully mauro will be able to comment now! :)
