  Understanding the Chinese mindset  Support CaspianReport through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CaspianReport SINGAPORE - In recent years, the government in Beijing has taken an offensive attitude in regard to the territorial claims in Asia. China has disputes in the south, east and west of the country. The pursuit of these geopolitical objectives has come at the expense of its neighbours.
