What would you have us - or anyone - do?
Why on earth would you want to manage the situation unless you feared it would get out of hand? Fear is reason you pay attention in the first place.

First thing I would have us do is recognize that the ChiComs are right bastards and when right bastards get hold of a lot of weapons, talk about taking part of the ocean over, shove people around on a regular basis and run the biggest espionage operation in the history of the world, there is a real possibility that they will cause trouble in the future. According to the article I referred to a few posts back, the fight over that is going on right now inside the beltway.
