"If you read the daily headlines, whether from Ukraine or closer to home in the Solomon Islands, you could be excused for concluding that conflict of some sort with China is inevitable.

They have to be blended so that we can take a comprehensive view of our relations with this large and important country."
And this is an excellent example of why China will continue to rise while the US is in terminal decline:
