Azino is right on this score,
I worked with some, what I would consider, nationalist Chinese a few years back. The subject of the troubles with the Phillipines and Japan came up. I remember an engineer saying "China will crush the Phillipines. If America is smart, they will stay out." A female metallurgist present was just as forceful regarding the Japanese. There was no compromise, or trepidation, at all.
I came away from the experience thinking that Canada should simply not play with China, do what we can to get along, council caution, and understand
why there are Chinese of this mindset. They are not going away any time soon.
