GETTING CHINA RIGHTThe United States is doing a generally good job in standing up to a rising China. China has, for example, been assertive and threatening in the South China Sea and East China Sea (and along its Himalayan border with India, where China did kill some Indian troops in recent years). The United States should continue to operate its naval forces freely in the South China Sea. The idea is to compete with China, but with a clear end state in mind.”44CONCLUSION: RUSSIA AND CHINA TOGETHER? As such, the United States does not need a true global two-war capability to ensure peace on the peninsula.
