The Dangers of the Korean Incident
July 30, 2010Sunny Lee writing for the The Korea Times reports that the majority of Chinese policymakers and academics feel that the Cheonan incident, where a North Korean torpedo allegedly sank a South Korean navy ship, “may” not be true. However, that doubt is not the only factor playing a crucial role in Chinese decision-making.
The Chinese also feel that the US and South Korea are politically motivated and overreacting. China sees the incident as part of the 60-year-long hostility between the two Koreas. In fact, China wants the US, South Korea and North Korea to pull back from the incident.
China’s opinion may be the best advice.
If you do not agree, consider World War I, the “Great War” if a war may be called great. World War I was not caused by dictators hungry for power as in the case of Mussolini and Hitler and the military oligarchy that ruled Japan during World War II.
World War I was caused by a strong sense of nationalism and emotions that were allowed to rule the day. Strong feelings of nationalism fed hatred in pre-war Europe. It turned Frenchman against German and Russian against Austrian. Source: Causes of World War I
Regarding the Cheonan incident, China is the cool head while the hotheads are the US, South Korea and North Korea. If these hot heads prevail, how much suffering and death would add to the 45 deaths already caused by the sinking of the Cheonan?
The match that lit World War I was the assassination of one man, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914. By the end of the war in late 1918, fifteen-million people had been killed, making the war one of the deadliest in history.
Does the world want that in Asia? America’s Military Industrial Media Empire might, but China clearly doesn’t—evidence that war is the last thing China wants.
