Re: "I wasn't trying to imply that we were attempting to prevent economic growth in China. More to the point, we are trying to contain their territorial expansionism (remember Tibet?) and military hegemony of the region...." >>> Right, but if you're talking China specifically, I don't see where any of the moves we or our new south Asian 'buddies' have taken to date offer especially much in the 'containment' area. (Intros to new energy markets, yes.) >>> As to 'encircling' Russia and south Asia... and inducing some type of mercantilism that keeps them poor (and presumably us rich), well I've heard that argument before (from some ex-Soviet empire defenders) and I don't see much merit in it, or evidence of it. I doubt it would be successful, and I doubt the results would be as assumed by the theory... and therefore I doubt that anyone would be foolish enough to try it. >>> There is far too much dependable wealth to be made just ensuring synchronous Capitalist development among the nation states of the area to consider attempting to turn back the clock to try to enforce mercantilism. >>> A difference of 'degrees' perhaps :)
