Of course, if China becomes aggressive, Asian countries like India and Australia – which are already disturbed by China’s assertiveness in the South China Sea – will join Japan in the effort to offset China’s power. But, as things stand, a strategy of containment would be a mistake.
当然，咄咄逼人的中国将使印度和澳大利亚等亚洲国家——它们已经因为中国在南海的独断专行而愤懑不已——将加入日本，一起遏制中国的实力。但是，就目前情况而言，遏制战略将是一个错误。毕竟，最容易点燃敌意的做法正是将中国作为敌人对待。
