The main point of this article is to make the point that we are containing China and explain how we as America control the world. It explains how we are keeping from going to war with China by making truces with other countries. We are making sure that China being a bully lately doesn't go to far later. We just want to trade with them without problems. If they do anything we don't like we can get our stuff from India and other countries. They are done when we aren't there to "run China's economy". We don't want to start a cold or hot war with China.
The title of the article is "Containment- Lite". We are kind of containing China, but we are taking less extreme measures than a cold war. We are keeping them at peace with our treaties. We are also getting ready for if China "goes off the deep end". We are just trying not to use military threats yet.
I agree with the author completely on that the tactics will keep us in control and China where they belong, a communist country that does what we tell them. Containment is definitely what is coming. We haven't pulled out our "big American guns" yet and we are trying to make it so we don't have to, so no one gets hurt. If we went to war with China it would be the literal end of the world. We are keeping China in check.
