We probably cannot say for sure how you can stop China from doing that, because, if this is an autocratic country and if everything can be decided by one person, when things become like that it's very unpredictable. It is not like the logic goes that way, and then you come to a conclusion. It can be so unpredictable. It is all depending on one person. This is why, when I say that China is having problems at home, it can quickly translate into some belligerent actions abroad. What you want to do, what I think is the best way, which is effective so far and is still continuing, is to have a collective deterrence.
Look, China meant to intimidate. Intimidation can be countered by deterrence, especially when this is a collective deterrence and a credible deterrence.
