The Chinese strategic method is to delay and deceive while avoiding direct conflict until they have obtained an entrenched position and win by default because the cost is too high to reverse.

Now, the western model was – traditionally – to solve problems quickly before the other side could concentrate great forces.

And so the problem with the Chinese strategy is that while it has worked throughout most of their history, it didn’t work against the Japanese, and moreover, it will not work against the west unless the west defacto wants it to.

I love the fact that china is building up the south china sea while the international courts say that they have no claim to it.

Just gives the usa an excuse.

sigh.
