Preventing war with China requires diplomatic wisdom, not more US military investment. Nicholas Burns (The trouble with China<\/em>, Op-ed, Jan. 16) cites a recent mini-crisis in the E.China Sea as a warning sign for \u201ccongressional leaders in both parties supporting deep cuts in the State Department and Pentagon budgets.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the modest budget reductions that have been proposed \u2014 next year the Pentagon is actually getting a $20 billion raise \u2014 would in no way prevent the United States from performing shows of force such as the recent flight of B-52s through China\u2019s newly claimed airspace in the East China Sea. The Pentagon\u2019s budget would have to be cut in half to get close to touching overwhelming US military dominance in the Pacific.<\/p>\n

A quick look at a map of the region will reveal that China has critical national interests in unencumbered access to the shipping lanes off its coasts and through the passages to the south. Accommodating these interests is the best path to peace in the long run.<\/p>\n

America will be much better served by helping to establish an inclusive cooperative economic and security zone in the region, rather than pursuing an ultimately losing game of indefinitely overmatching China\u2019s military power in its own neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The trouble with China: It\u2019s the responsibility of the US to prevent war over East China Sea islands
\nby Nicholas Burns, Boston Globe<\/em>, 16 January 2014.<\/p>\n

As the White House struggles to cope with a burning Middle East, another vital challenge is arising on the far horizon \u2014 China is flexing its muscles with real consequences for America\u2019s future in Asia.<\/p>\n

In the East China Sea, the United States worries about a stand-off between our ally Japan and Beijing over conflicting, historical claims to small, uninhabited islands the Japanese call the Senkakus and the Chinese call the Diaoyu. China opposes Japan\u2019s ownership of the islands and, in November, announced creation of an Air Defense Identification Zone in the East China Sea that directly challenged the right of Japanese, American, and other aircraft to transit airspace in the area without prior notification to Beijing. China has made equally extravagant legal claims in the South China Sea against Filipino and Vietnamese territorial claims.<\/p>\n

As my Harvard colleague, Graham Allison, recounts in the National Interest, China\u2019s actions are playing out on a broad historic canvas with Beijing and Washington as the main actors. He reminds us of the \u201cThucydides Trap\u201d\u2014 when, in past centuries, \u201ca rapidly rising power rivals an established ruling power, trouble ensues. In 11 of 15 cases in which this has occurred in the past 500 years, the result was war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conflict between the United States and China is far from inevitable. But the East and South China Seas crises illustrate the American challenge in working with China\u2019s assertive new leadership. The United States and China are partners on a range of issues, from trade to climate change and proliferation. But they are also strategic rivals for power in Asia. That is why the White House should be firm that the United States and its allies won\u2019t be bullied by China\u2019s peremptory and unilateral territorial claims.<\/p>\n

The immediate challenge is in the East China Sea. Tokyo defends its long possession of the islands through naval and air patrols while Beijing counters with its own naval vessels and aircraft to contest it. The obvious risk is potential collision by two powerful militaries at sea and in the air. The stakes are very high for the United States as our defense treaty with Japan obligates us to come to its assistance in the event of conflict with China.<\/p>\n

The United States has rightly stood by Japan against China\u2019s unilateral claims. Washington is also counseling China to gain better control of the often-willful People\u2019s Liberation Army and submit its territorial claims to international adjudication rather than assert them by fiat and intimidation.<\/p>\n

To be fair, however, Washington is also advising Japan\u2019s nationalist Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, to lower the temperature in his rivalry with China. His recent visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, where war criminals from the Second World War are buried, as well as Japan\u2019s refusal to acknowledge the horrific actions of its military during the Second World War, are unnecessarily provocative to the Chinese, South Korean, and Filipino peoples.<\/p>\n

As the United States seeks to keep the peace in the East China Sea, the immediate danger is not so much that Japan or China will decide to launch a war for the islands but that they might stumble into conflict by mistake or miscalculation.<\/p>\n

British historian Margaret MacMillan warns of such a risk in a recent Brookings Institution essay. She recounts the improbable and unplanned events that led to the outbreak of war in 1914 in which 16 million combatants and civilians eventually perished. Her essay is a direct warning \u2014 we can\u2019t take the current Great Power peace for granted. Human folly, frailty, and hubris could lead the great powers of our time \u2014 among them China, Japan, and even the United States \u2014 into a conflagration we never believed was possible. \u201cThe one-hundredth anniversary of 1914 should make us reflect anew,\u201d she warned, \u201con our vulnerability to human error, sudden catastrophe, and sheer accident.\u201d<\/p>\n

The East China Sea Crisis and the lessons of World War I remind Americans of a final stark reality \u2014 global peace and security still depends on us more than any other country. It is thus essential that we remain the world\u2019s strongest diplomatic and military power. Congressional leaders in both parties supporting deep cuts in the State Department and Pentagon budgets should remember that in Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, we are still, as Madeleine Albright once rightly claimed, the world\u2019s \u201cindispensable\u201d nation.<\/p>\n
