We have noted what they have said that they will never be a hegemony. However, it is better to have a balance. That balance has got to depend on a strong America, a revitalised Japan and a vigorous Korea. Then, we will have abalance. I don't see a balance inherent within Asia itself.
China is just too big.
You can put the rest of east Asia together - it just would not tip the scales against China. It's an extremely slow difficult process and will take a long time. But we have got to keep encouraging them, making it easier for them. The final choice will be theirs. You cannot force a man or a woman to take a risk if he or she is risk averse.
