It's difficult, perhaps, to expect people who approach an issue from significantly different perspectives to agree on a common conclusion from a disputed set of facts, as in the case of China's claimed 80 mile limit on airspace and the US intrusion on that claim. Over the next few weeks the situation will undoubtedly play out.

It is reasonable, however, to assume the Hitler-Stalin non aggression pact of 1939 gave each party what it needed, and without it World War II would have been much different. Hitler received the green light to invade Poland and Czechoslovakia without fear of the Russians. Stalin took Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and a part of Poland. With the agreement still in force, Hitler later took Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium and France. The absence of a "second front" made the western campaign much easier.

It's a risk to assume people of a different background will respond the way "we" think they should to a specific circumstance. China is no different...
