re: #62 The War TARDIS

Ok, here’s the other thing though. Without The economic links, nations may side with China. Making them much harder to contain.

I find the notion of containing any modern industrialized nation a bit quaint. We can contend with China (If we ever get out of the ME swamp), we should even try to cooperate with China on some things. Containing China is out of the question. Consider China’s diplomatic and economic initiatives in the Third World, the TPP isn’t going to stop that.
