The most contested areas of the globe in the 20th century lay on dry land in Europe, but in the 21st century they are in the "seascape of East Asia," which is quickly becoming the world's "new center of naval activity." ++ "America's aim in Asia should be balance, not dominance. It is precisely because hard power is still the key to international relations that we must make room for a rising China." ++ "Morality may mean giving up some of our most cherished ideals for the sake of stability."
