China, while militarily powerful, is not a threat to the USA. This is NOT because China is not capable, but simply because China is not inclined to attack.

I do not fully understand the situation in the South China Sea. However, I believe that the USA should not meddle in the affairs of others unless asked, and even then, any intervention must be carefully considered.

China is not my enemy. It should not be my country's enemy, either.
