Washington has not made it clear what Washington’s stake is in the disputes. The reason Washington cannot identify why China’s disputes with the Philippines and Indonesia are threats to the United States is that there is no reason. Nevertheless, the undefined “threat” has become the reason Washington needs more naval bases in the Philippines and South Korea. What this is all about is provoking a long-term Cold War conflict with China that will keep profits and power flowing into Washington’s military-security complex. Large profits flow to armaments companies.
