Margaret,

Thanks for the interesting article. A couple of comments:

1. Disaggregation, while in some instances practical, does not constitute a viable foreign policy.

2. China IS expansionist, so are Britain, Germany, France, Japan and the US, and, for that matter, every aspiring Regional or Superpower. What we lose sight of sometimes, is that "territorial expansionism" is totally passe and uneconomical (except for some 4th world countries). So the new mantra is the ability to project power, be it political and/or economical. This of course has to be backed up by economic wealth and might, a subset of which is military might, but not of the invading hordes kind.

Rgds,
Steve
