But China has been far from blameless: witness its heavy-handed approach to its Asian neighbors in pressing its territorial claims in the East and South China Seas. And, while growing signs of impatience with North Korea have been welcomed as a harbinger of an eventual policy shift, fresh thinking in China has not been sufficient to forestall US efforts to step up military cooperation with South Korea and Japan.
但中国的做法也远非无可指责：其对亚洲邻国强加东南中国海主权要求时的高压姿态就是证明。尽管中国对朝鲜越来越不耐烦的态度被视为最终政策转变的先兆而颇受欢迎，但中国新思维并没有阻止美国强化与韩国和日本的军事合作。
