China really doesn't have many allies in the region.

China does not have many actual allies anywhere. They do have close relations with a handful of nations, and are friendly with some others.

It is just sad that China is ruled by a cabal of old men with delusions that they know better than anyone else in the populus nation. Little to no ability to suggest change to a corrupt and inflexible system.

With a rich culture and a long history of innovation behind them, China today strangles its people to keep them in a line drawn by cronies raised by communist values that have not even survived in the country of its origin. They could be so much more if they were not herded into limited thinking and a lack of freedom of individual expression and thought that drives innovation and development of society and technology. A real waste of ability that denies the world as well as themselves from a brighter and better future.

If only the CCP was capable of and willing to change outdated and harmful thinking that continues to hamper its people.

 plans to announce more than 60 billion yen ($380 million) in development aid over the next three years to counter China's influence

Money talks, however they don't need to agree for everything to what Japan want them to agree.

Which country first abandoned the "Nuclear non Proliferation Treaty "/

The PIF comprises Australia, the Cook Islands, Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and France's overseas territories of New Caledonia and French Polynesia.

Most of these are colonial possessions and/or under the yolk. Shades of the 'co-prosperity sphere' there.

"free and open rule-based international order" in accordance with international law.

There they go again. Translation - the goal posts can be moved.

Selective "strong opposition" ??? The Middle East is being "unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force or coercion" everyday. How about saying something? Its something the American hasn't say???
