Jeremy Cliffe, International Editor of the New
Statesman, notes:
“There are few limits on China’s military and economic
power - the notion that it is threatened by tiny Hong Kong and Taiwan is absurd
- what the country really lacks is friends. But for a few craven and
transactional partners (Pakistan, Cambodia, Serbia and, perhaps increasingly,
Russia) it is a lonely power that lacks genuinely committed and trusting allies
of that sort that underpinned America’s long years of superpower-dom. China’s
aggression, ultimately, hurts one country more than any other: China itself.”
