Columnist for the Wall Street Journal Walter argues that the administration of Biden too lightly the loss of military influence of the USA in East Asia, where every year, the influence of China, and North Korea is inexorably increasing its nuclear Arsenal. Political, diplomatic and economic stability can return to this region only if it is restored America's military superiority, which she lost 15 years pursuing ineffective policy.
The US is not even able to withstand the invasion of Russia in Ukraine, although the positions of Washington and NATO allies on the European continent is stronger than in the Asian region. It showed, he said, that the current policy of preventive deter potential rivals does not work in today's world. If containment measures fail to stop China and China will attack Taiwan, you can stop this invasion will be more difficult, and the consequences of such an escalation will be much catastrophic than the Ukrainian crisis.
The Taiwan Strait and the South China sea is much more important to world trade than the Black sea. Military action in the Taiwan Strait to stop the export of microchips, which is critical for the global economy. There is a shortage of everything that is produced in China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan, there will be a collapse in the global financial markets, the expert warns.

In an attempt to confront Russia in Ukraine and in Europe, the United States continuously increase its military and financial assistance to Kiev, which has reached nearly $ 20 billion, sending its troops to the East of the continent. While on military aid to Taiwan Washington plans to spend $ 10 billion over the next 10 years.

To even out this imbalance and to effectively deter China, Russia and North Korea, not only the United States but its allies in Europe and Asia, it is necessary to significantly increase defense spending. Countries such as Japan and Germany have strongly increase military spending, but also American spending is also expected to grow, I'm sure the Ministry of foreign Affairs.
— panic American Explorer.
The Chinese know how to count no worse than us, like an expert. Whatever harsh statements have not been heard from Washington, if NATO fails to provide adequate military protection of its fundamental interests in the Indo-Pacific region, sooner or later, the concept of deterrence will fail. When faced major powers, even non-nuclear war costs unacceptably expensive because it is destructive, and cruel.
— reminds of the foreign Ministry, adding that at the moment, military training America "woefully weak" amid the Ukrainian crisis.
