Lol. Do all the Neocons and Conservative hacks gather at the SCMP?It is just comical that these people wanted China to resolve the world problem when it benefits them. Most of these problems were not initiated by China but by the Western powers.
For now, China might be happy to watch things play out. But, unfettered, these forces are likely to create nothing but misery and a Eurasian backyard in which China will find itself the dominant power watching over chaos.
And while in the short term it might be possible to find some benefit from this situation, in the longer term, it will spill over and ultimately create problems that Beijing cannot just watch from the sidelines.
