Good article.

The Communist Chinese consider the U.S their primary enemy. They are preparing to fight us & win. And they are doing it with our money & technology.

One of Clinton's legacies is his wholesale treason of massively transferring critical technology to the Communist Chinese. (Make no mistake. This was not about money. Clinton was and is a Communist agent recruited and run by the Soviet Union and passed to Communist China.) Communist China's naval build-up is just one of the results.

Our counter-strategy needs to be kick-started. Not only do our Naval forces need to be expanded, but we must aid & integrate our allies.

We must quit messing around about Taiwan. Allow Free China to buy the equipment they have been clamoring for. Continue the push for expansion of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force plus South Korea's and the Republic of Philipine's navies. Make overatures to India. And start holding massive integrated naval exercises with these and ANZAC navies.

The dragon is awakening, and he is hungry.

You could cut the strength of the US Navy in half and it would beat the snot out of the PLAN in a few days, for the foreseable future.

Continue the push for expansion of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force

By themselves, with no US involvement, the Japanese Maritme Self-Defense Force would absolutely kick the living bejesus out of the PLAN right now. And the Japanese are increasing their capabilities faster than the Chinese.

Exactly.

The Communist Chinese consider the U.S their primary enemy.

I don't see the evidence that justifies that conclusion.

They are preparing to fight us & win.

Yawn. This same tired canard gets drawn out over and over. The economic relationship between the two countries is far too important jeopardize with anything more than quivering sabres.

See your doctor immediately. Your dosage needs to be increased dramatically, possibly even a new prescription.

Yes, scrap NATO and upgrade SEATO to be made up of Japan, S. Korea, the Phillipines, Australia, New Zealand, India, Afghanistan and other Central Asian/South East Asian states that wish to contain China.
