Abstract
China is on the march. Within the Chinese concept of warfare and considering the strategic nature of her economic engagement around the world –including the Western Hemisphere, it seems that we have already been in a Second Cold War for many years, though not aware of it. It is time for freedom-loving countries in the hemisphere to stand together against the Chinese. The Rio Treaty (1947) has broadly been regarded as a failure, due largely to perceptions of the United States’ (US) neglect and tendency toward intervention. However, this may be an opportune time to renew and refresh this military pact; there has been a consistent maturation of stable democracy in most countries of the hemisphere, marked by such measurable signs of progress as civil-military relations codified in defense white papers. Now is the time to expand the role of military diplomacy.
