#1 This is all about the "superior/inferior" concepts of Confucian culture. China is not the superior, and feels like it should be. If you're not the superior, then you're the...inferior. There is no other choice. China has felt itself inferior for 200 years and now feels that the situation has changed.

There will be no "peaceful co-existence". Well, unless the USA bows on one knee and acknowledges China as teacher.

#4 Is this China That Can Say No or Mahan/Fuller/Guderian/Ludendorff material here?

Because if it's the former, then that book was the leading indicator of the collapse of the Japanese Bubble Economy. If it's the latter, then, well, completely different kettle of fish.

#5 Aside from some pushing and shoving with the US Navy around the margins of the Middle Kingdom, I suspect China will be quite busy challenging the Chinese people.
