Supporting role only in case of Chinese attacks

Should China move against any of its neighbors, including Taiwan, these nations would surely arm to defend their liberty. But the first defense perimeter of Free Asia should be manned by Asians themselves, united in regional alliances, with the US relegated to a supporting role. Like Shakespeare’s Fortinbras, it has been the role of America to come in at the end, not at the beginning of the family wars of Asia and Europe. Let other nations play Hamlet.

China uses our trade deficit to hurt the US

Since 1992, the United States has run a trillion-dollar trade deficit, $200 billion with Communist China, which now uses our currency to expand its military, steal our technology and buy weapons to target US Marines on Okinawa and the sailors of the Seventh Fleet.
