China's rise to power, economically and militarily, is unprecedented for an Asian country. It is now flexing its might and its neighbors, particularly the Southeast Asian nations as an association, are understandably disturbed. The Philippine President has been very vocal against China's incursions into the Scarborough Shoal near Zambales province. Anyway, the puny ASEAN could give China a run for its money, by what else but a boycott of the giant's economic products. You can not ignore a market of 600 million warm bodies--the combined populations of the emerging nations.
