I'm unsure why you think I'm a liberal, but please, do continue to toss names.
Additionally, I didn't cite "moral equivalence". I just think that China too is Clausewitzian in seeing war as an extension of political and economic struggle. The corollary to that, of course, is that political and economic struggle is an extension of warfare.
I certainly don't shrug and say "meh" ... where you got that from, I can't say, but certainly not from an accurate reading of my post.
