WSJ is smokin weed. Why would China save "the world" aka G7? Save us, save us and we will set up G20 so you have a say. Did they disband G7 (7 of the world's richest nations -- lol) like they were supposed to after that?

Not only was China not appreciated in 2008. After bailing out the culprits to the tune of 4 trillion, she got repaid with Pivot to Asia a mere 6 years later. To add to that, they blew sunshine up India's tushy with "Indo Pacific".
China can help America only if America immediately drops all threats of invasion, ends aggressive posturing in Asia and vows to reduce its military buildup.

Otherwise let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

No one on China's side wants war. Its all American delusions that a military operation against another nuclear power will somehow save their flagging economy. If America abandons the path of aggression, China would not mind giving them assistance.

US has the choice to save face and keep confronting China, resulting in burning out hard and fast, or let cooperation happen and wind down their threats.

Unfortunately, the Ohio incident is kinda a microcosm of how the current regime in Washington thinks, and which choice they'll go with.

How America views treaties and agreements.


It would be the height of folly to exchange anything tangible for a paper promise from the Americans.

America dropping threats today is meaningless as they can just make even more outrageous threats tomorrow once they got what they wanted from you.

That is why China should only provide assistance which aims to create conditions in which yes, American economy may be improved, but China's economy will benefit from it as much or even more.

No nation can thrive solely off foreign aid. If that was the case, Africa would be the richest continent, not Asia.

Foreign aid can kick start America again if Americans are smart about it. But I'd say that is a risk China can take. Giving these types of aid will not weaken Beijing, on the contrary, the movement of goods will provide orders, expand businesses at home.

Making Americans tear up their invasion plans in public is worth such a price, if only to humiliate them for even considering it in the first place as well as giving China more time to enjoy peace dividends and continue its porcupine strategy.

Even if they can eventually do the threats again, so what? The power balance will be even worse for them at that time.

I think China should fish for a deal, as long as the deal provides signficant concessions at least in the short and medium term.

Not even worth the paper it's written on, Don't want to sound racist but cultures descended from Eurasian steppe like West, Xiongnu and Turkic are pastoral nomadic in their thinking only the present conditions are of any importance historical benevolence from your side doesn't matter everything is essentially superficial, Settled agrarian culture like of Chinese should let go of any hopeful delusion of making a deep connection with the westerners by being more accommodating there simply isn't any, Cultures like them are tribal,unreasonable,egotistic,xenophobic and confrontational by nature, only way to deal with are violence or avoidance any other engagement should be done if there is tangible benefit to be had and with worst outcome kept in mind
