YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — Not long ago, China was the darling of its
less powerful Asian neighbors with its growing economic importance and a
policy of non-interference in external affairs that contrasted with
bellicose U.S. foreign policy after 9/11.
However, a series of clashes over territorial disputes and Beijing’s
tendency to economically punish those who get in its way have encouraged
many Asian nations to reassess their choices — an increasingly
aggressive Chinese dragon or a more distant and relatively benign
America.
