  The question is not if China will rise peacefully.  The question is if China would be allowed to rise peacefully.

  The difference in cultures between the US and China is the following metaphor:<br>The US takes an orange, cuts it in half, and uses both sides to juice it until it is dry discarding afterwards. The Chinese takes an orange and study to try find solutions to grow an orange grove to become a partner. In both situations people are the oranges.

  John and Kishore are both realists and great strategic thinkers. &nbsp;Kishore has a clearer view as a 3rd party observer of the US and China competition. &nbsp;US has fallen into the hegemon trap, which resulted in &quot;endless wars&quot;. &nbsp;The US can do much better by 1) facilitating technology innovation and excellence, &nbsp;and 2) embarking on a pan-am initiative or hemisphere initiative. &nbsp;Based on immigrant tradition, US can do a lot in the western hemisphere and both North and South Americas.

  I watch this because of Kishore. Without him, it is a waste of my time. I am from south east Asia but we are not afraid of China. Please get this right.

  The 2 debater Kishore &amp; Mearsheimer exactly depict the Asian outlook &amp; Western outlook of the world. One the Western view points it is the survival of the fittest the stronger one will walloped the weaker one. I am just being candid here the Western always look at winner take all...Asian doesn&apos;t look at it this way there is always a path to co-existence which can benefits both....that is being Civilize. That is what former Malaysian PM Mahathir said &quot;We have been China neighbor for thousands of year yet China have never Colonised or Conquered us...but when the Western came via Portuguese, Conquered us withina few yrs&quot; follow by....Dutch, British, French....within a few years there Conquered &amp; Colonised everyone in Asia wow what a revaluation!!!!!

  The book “Has China won?” was published in January. Now it’s June, so I suggest it should be followed by a second addition named “China has won!”

  I really like Kishore&apos;s rationale and pragmatic solutions to potential conflicts. No wonder he was a top diplomat in UN security council. Need more peacemakers like him. My salute to you good sir!

  What we Chinese want: <br>1. Get rich (Everyone on the planet deserves to live a better life.)<br>2. Keep the money we earned (No one dares rob us again.)<br><br>I totally agree with Mr. Mearsheimer on the century of humiliation. This is one of the reasons holds us together nowadays.
