At least the military solution is always the last option for us, so you can see that we are trying our best to keep our promise.
With China's today military strength, we can easily clean up our backyard in Southeast Asia. Now US is struggling with their WOT, and in reality they can only provide a little help to these Southeast Asian nations.
China can easily crush those Southeast Asian nations with both economical and military way, yet we choose to solve everything in a peaceful manner.
So please understanding our sincerity to keep the harmony in Asia.
