One influential source is his principal policy and planning adviser on China, Miles Maochun Yu. A China-born professor of military history at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, he harbours some pretty dark visions about the world and Asia-Pacific in particular.Yu is clearly an uber-hawk, judging from his books, articles and speeches. On China and Asia, there seems to be two strategic conclusions on Yu’s reading of the state of affairs in the region: mixed messages and diplomatic subtleties are dangerous when it comes to dealing with “communist” countries. And in the South China Sea between the US and China, military conflict is all but inevitable.
