Letting the Chinese in this region open other markets besides just military arms sales. It's about power and gaining power too just like those countries I listed in Africa, don't you see? Reverse things let the US try opening a new base near mainland China and see if they react to it. Let the US get permission to build a base in the northern section of Vietnam and see if the Chinese don't freak out. The little Chavez piss ass is causing the US to lose a little power or control in an area where we have more or less controlled for 70 to 100 years and the Chinese are quietly slipping in, its how its done. Africa was the same way the US doesn't take much interests in Africa compared to others and the French and English faded out there's no big guy on the block anymore. Now look at how many countries then in and will be in for good. Five or ten years from the people in those counties will be say the United States who? There are very patient people in general and can easily let this first step take ten years before the next one, but it's still a step. I think it's a mistake not to counter there move because it was a move.
I'm not saying lets form watch guard groups to walk our shores at night or ban Chinese food but it was a move.
