And so what you have is the United States will not show up in Asia.
In Asia, there are all these countries who believe that the United States was going to play an important role as a counterbalancing influence for power in the region because China is the dominant power and the others are much less power.
And so the United States being in there
was going to balance those power.
And because they have a military presence, the idea of having bases in their countries was believed to be that will help that happen.
Okay, now there's a recognition that not only they might show up, but maybe these bases can become liabilities and that the Chinese economy
have a lot of influence and power under that set of circumstances.
For example, chips come out of Taiwan.
We could imagine what would happen if they blockaded chips leaving Taiwan.
Okay, you'd see the world stock markets crash.
You would see terrible, terrible things.
That represents a non-military power, just even the ability to threaten that.
Say the Chinese say for five days, we're not going to have it.
What will the United States literally do?
Or if you go to countries like the Philippines, which has a treaty with the United States, that's like a NATO treaty.
How would the American public react that we're going to send troops?
Military, you know, aircraft carriers and so on into the Philippines to stop the Filipinos from being picked on by the Chinese.
I mean, so what you're seeing is a change that is very similar to the British Empire in terms of being organized.
I remember a time not long ago that the United States would just have to almost hint to a country that we would like this thing to be this way or you would like it to do that.
And they would do it because of the American policy.
