It is a multiparty democracy with a strong commitment to freedom.

The people in East Timor did not find it so.

Largest Muslim population. Won’t like the Chinese much. But they haven’t shown much affinity for the Christian west either, afaik. Maybe an alliance of convenience with Oz since they share a part of the world. We’ll see.

There will be resistance to China as it expands its political, economic and military interests beyond its borders. Thus far there is no comprehensive pact among the disparate nations that for cultural and religious reasons do not accept the dominance of the “Middle Kingdom”. IMHO Taiwan is at the greatest risk for overt Chinese aggression. Yet it is not clear that China can absorb the political cost of losing many of their “only son” soldiers in a bloody campaign. It is also not clear if Taiwan will actually fight to preserve its freedom or will come to accept voluntarily peaceful reunification with the mainland. The people of Taiwan know they will be alone if it comes to a fight. The majority may not have the stomach to make the sacrifice of resisting China.

Lest We Forget: the Indonesians are our friends.

They are Muslim, thus not our friends unless we submit or convert.

No one knows for sure if China will continue to primarily make its way in the world through trade or become a more aggressive power.

Partner, Chicoms have grown in knowledge of U.S. Technology since we gave the Chicoms everthing they wanted free of charge from the CEO's of American companies. This is the Major Reason on why the Chicoms have grown in technology and all of this technology has been free.

Our POTUS had gotten the attention of some of these companies and they are moving out of Chicom territory.

We can forget about Indonesia since they are a Mooselimb country and tell me the last time a Mooselimb country fought its way to be No. 1 or 2 in Technology.

Heck, the Mooselimb religion is a gutter religion and it will always be a gutter religion!!!
