While I will grant you that the Chinese are cheaters and liars, you aren't going to get anywhere with them by continuing to blast them all over the place.
The world over has treated China with kid gloves the past 30 years. They've enjoyed protected status as an up and coming nation the world over. From Bush the senior to the Clinton's and the Obama's they've been allowed to do as they wish with near impunity.
If you're going to carry a stick, someone has to believe you'll use it or what's the point? In the name of diplomacy the US and the UN's gentlemen/lady statesmen have failed in any way to get the Chinese on a level playing field.
But how exactly do you get China on board? I think there is an innate arrogance in the commie hardliners that wont allow them to view us a true equals and thus a "fair" deal.
What has worked for you Monarch? (genuine question, not trying to be argumentative)
