Imperialist China’s bully acts causing outrage in Asia

Australia has joined the United States, Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam in accusing China of causing destabilization in the Southeast Asian region. Australia recently condemned China’s destabilizing moves in the West Philippine Sea. Australia also echoed calls for China to respect the rule of law. Australia’s bold statements should be a wake-up call for China. With its continuing aggression, China should by now realize that it is collecting enemies.

China knows that Southeast Asia is a successful region and is able to deliver enormous amounts of prosperity in the Asia-Pacific. China

apparently covets the entire area because of its economic prospects. But what it is doing right now is threatening to reverse the economic progress the region now enjoys, which would surely affect the international market.

China’s motive is clear: To build up its military capability to pursue its economic interest. China appears selfish, wanting to have all the economic resources in the region only for itself. That’s why its use of military force.

The communists ruling China have become the imperialists they and Mao Zedong, Communist China’s founder, hated. And the animosity toward China among its neighbors is growing. Growing likewise is the outrage over

China’s acts of harassment, bullying and destabilization.
