Without exception, every Far Eastern nation has territorial disputes with China and while China has increased defense spending many fold in the last decade or so, all East Asian countries have reduced their defense budgets from 3% to less than 2%. Wouldn’t you be terrified if your enemy was spending 10 times more on armaments ? Strangely, it seems that East Asians are not so ‘terribly terrified’ of the rise of China, in fact they seem to be enjoying manifold increase in bilateral trade, despite the rhetoric on territorial disputes. So much for China’s ‘growing power in the Pacific’, where it can’t as yet compete with Naval Power of Japan, what to talk of US. The Real Problem is in our mindset of thinking with Western Logic.

Very different from the countries China engages with in ASEAN. As a well wishes, China could discuss with Pakistan what its support to terrorism is delivering as benefits and what the costs are. Although China has reaffirmed its support to Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity post Balakot, it too must worry where incidents like Pulwama can take the subcontinent.
