I like the way Chinese plan to take over all ASEAN nations by mixing diploma. By using economy and international marriage over centuries, no blood was shed only bring the happiness and prosperity to all party. Unlike USA and Westerner occupation method with force and weapon 'either with me or my enemy'. If the West learned just a fraction from China and change to Seep In Tactic like China, this world probably is full with harmony. North and South Korea problem will be solved; patient is the key. The Chinese had fought and lived along side with Thais for more than two centuries; now Generations later patience is bear the successful fruits.
