For those who are thinking I'm not going to retreat in China, I will as soon as Larry starts showing he is getting serious there.
Til then I'm going to try and make him use up his resources repairing his armies.
PS: Larry I'm reading your having your AKE's shuttling supplies? If you disband the AKE's into port they can draw from the port using the "load tenders" button.
This way your AK/AKL's can run the risk of being torp'd and your AKE's stay relatively safe in port.
