Agreed. Only American-Japanese solidarity can stymey China's Pacific ambitions. An American-Indian alliance would be beneficial as well. China MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXPAND, their regime is notorious for human rights abuse. The Chinese Communist Party is directly responsible for at least 30 million civilian deaths, using pseudo-Stalinist tactics like artificial famines, extensive prison camps, and indiscriminately violent police and military personnel. To allow such a nation to extend its influence beyond its immediate frontier is unacceptable.
