As US retreats, China touts its trade deal wares to Asia
When you target one country, it can become isolated.
When you target many countries, you may end up becoming isolated.
In war, we are taught to try and line up our engagements sequentially, so that we can bring our forces to bear on one target at a time, hoping to overwhelm it. And also avoid putting ourselves in a situation where we are surrounded by multiple enemies, putting ourselves within their striking distances.
It is a simple rule, but it works. And it applies not just to warfare, but to all manners of conflicts. So instead of trying to solve all conflicts at once, it is probably better and wiser to work on them one at a time, so that you can influence the outcome of each to your advantage.
