In 1930s Japan asserted its nationalism. In 2015s the Chinese are doing the same thing. Every country in SEA is today scared of China and hates the, Disputes with Vietnam, disputes with Malaysia, disputes with Philippines, disputes with Japan. Very soon there will be trouble with Thailand, Myanmar, Singapore, Indonesia as well. You already have contending claims with Indonesia. Almost forgot about Taiwan and the recent Hong Kong crisis.
The country that is rubbing its hands with glee is USA. Philippines had removed US forces and now they are begging America to come to their island once again. There is a saying in India, "pair pe kulhari marna", meaning hitting the axe on your foot. You Chinese have done the same thing. Is patience an alien concept in China?
I just have one question:
If china wants to be a regional dominator,why should its military expenditure just take up 1.3% of its GDP in 2014?
