He is telling us 以暴制暴。
I dont agree at all. What China needs to do now is to continue what they are good at and keep on doing it ? Cannot give up!
OBOR and HSR, this will bind all the land countries together to become 1 strong continent beyond Asia.
This is what US is most fearful about.

The Chinese aren't looking for a fight. Not for at least the next 10 years.

Reason is simple - The World has rapidly enter into great stress in many dimensions from Ukraine to USD-driven inflation to breaking of existing order and supply chain to possible end of Globlisation. None of that serve China's interest as it needs stability, especially in our region.

In contrast, the US knows it is running out of time and resource to "contain" China. Which is why we see suddenly so many US plans from AUKUS, QUAD, IPEF (a substitute of TPP), changing of US's TRA, and now passing of CHIP 4 bill - All targeted at China. George Yeo has alluded to that in many of his interview...

US also knows they cannot wage any major military adventures when dealing with 2 fronts against Russia and China...so they invest more in creating proxy wars (Ukraine and TW) and finding NED to drive overseas Color revolutions (Iran and maybe Saudi next) The problem with such strategy is US has overplay the same game many times, hence no longer a secret...

The real problem is America forget who the REAL ENEMY is - Itself. That is why, in that same SCMP interview, GY says "We are worried for America".
