I believe the argument could be made that no country would be working for such an event seeing that the ramifications go much further than those countries principally involved. Who would “retrieve glory”? Do you understand the affect such an event would have globally. The idea that someone in the region would profit from this is odd. So I do not understand if you make this statement as a joke or as a serious idea.

I would like to hear your view on how you think China will play this. What can they do other that using military pressure to persuade the involved parties? How do you feel the internal debate is in country, does your sentiment represent the view “on the street” so to say?
