Tightly constrained violence might be the answer.

An interesting and compelling argument. The more that nations ignore the blatant and imperialist Chinese land grabs the worse it is going to be when the REAL crunch comes.

Confrontation in the air and at sea happen frequently. The Chinese are harassment specialists.

Tonnage is not entirely the answer, IMO. There are new weapons coming along we barely know about, along with counter measures. The USN has a tremendous firepower and endurance advantage in naval strength for now. We can place surface, carrier, and submarine resources close to China. They cannot do this to us…limited range. Taiwan is not yet within their capacity to attack, IMO.

hmmm, an in-depth defensive perimeter of island chains, where have I seen that before? Oh, that didn't work either, as I recall… ;-)
