PRC should take out the kid next door and show its a useful power for the region

A Reliance on China Jeopardizes the South Korean Economy. Okay....and what about China's economy?  The PRC is investing greatly in their military and apparently, much like the United States, without a strategic goal.  From an outsider's point of view the best purpose for a strong Chinese military is to protect the logistics that ties the interdependent tech business that is the economic driver for Southeast Asia.  To allow the neighborhood kid to play with nuclear matchsticks so that South Korea and Japan buy American THAAD antimissile systems to protect themselves is the height of stupidity.  Its the kid that is damaging the regions tech hub and the danger he presents to the regions' interdependent tech industry is what will damage this very important engine of growth and prosperity.  Rather than punish South Korea the PRC should take out the kid and show its a useful power for the region.
