America misread China's deep insecurity as China's strength, and the Pivot

China's deep insecurity: after all, who wouldn't be deeply insecure, if
their former best friends killed 20 million of their people? That is why
America needs to really understand China's PTSD resulting from Japanese
brutal invasion to understand Chinese behavior and insecurity.
“We will have to see what the U.S. will do to shore up the idea that
they are in Asia to stay,” said Roderick MacFarquhar, professor
emeritus of Chinese politics at Harvard University in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. “That they’re not going to quit the stage and leave it to
China, and that they’re not going to desert their friends and allies.”

My commentary: It's wonderful that we Americans stick by our
friends and allies. But our particular friend and ally in this case is
Voldemort itching to pull us into a destructive conflict with her ex-best-
friend-turned-into-victim-of-her-mass-murders. Ultimately we are still
known by our associations.
