How should the US view China's developing relations with her neighbors? Should the US modify its foreign policy towards these same nations in light of their changing relations with China?
I believe that the US should view China's developing relations with their neighbors in the most cautious yet realistic way possible. It seems that China truly has an agenda as well as a reasoning behind everything it does. It always has its best interest at heart and economics on the brain. It seems to be written on the wall what is going on, even though China won't or won't ever directly admit to it. China has the means to help smaller countries get on the map economically speaking, while exploiting them for their natural resources so they can fuel their need to grow, build and expand. China also is using the money from these trade deals to finance military growth and weapons purchasing (to the tune of 1 billion dollars according to the essay by Yom. We all also know that the SCO was founded with the Anti Western slant that China is trying to impose on the ASEAN through spins on current affairs or views on other topics.
