STOMP AROUND AND CARRY A SMALL STICK: CHINA´S NEW "GLOBAL ASSERTIVENESS" RAISES HACKLES, BUT HAS MORE FORM THAN SUBSTANCE

First off, this wikileak has a very funny title, "stomp around and carry a small stick". But anyways, This article explores the feelings that different countries have towards Chinas new aggressive approach to international relations. Many countries are saying that they are having troubles dealing with and doing business with china. The EU has voiced strong opinions about feeling that China has become increasingly more stubborn. Many countries want to work closer with the United States in order to deal with China. I wonder what affect that will really have on dealing with China. One specific example that the leak gives is Japan is having troubles dealing with china over an issue of the East China Sea, with different oil and gas fields. China has repeatedly not followed through with their actions that they agreed upon and has become more intense with their coast guard which has created dangers for the Japanese. People believe that by China taking the approach that they are, they will begin to lose their high status compared to other countries.
