It is probably not coincidence that's about the time that China started to really bring in the dollars:
China's economy has been growing at a rate of at least 10 percent for each of the past 10 years, providing the country's military with the needed funds for modernization. The combination of a vibrant centralized economy, growing military and increasingly fervent nationalism has transformed China into what many defense officials view as a fascist state. "We may be seeing in China the first true fascist society on the model of Nazi Germany, where you have this incredible resource base in a commercial economy with strong nationalism, which the military was able to reach into and ramp up incredible production," a senior defense official said.
I am glad that at least we have senior defense officials who aren't missing this. I certainly wish some of that acuity could be found among a few more of our political officials.
When one understands the typical mental capacity of the average congress person and realizes the kind of 'issues' they spend their time on these days, it should cause much more alarm than the chinese build up. We don't have to worry about the chinese as much as we have to worry about our own 'leadership'.
Fact is, the DEMOCRATS AND THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION COMMITTED TREASON AND TRANSFERRED SENSITIVE U.S. MILITARY TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES TO CHINA!!
READ IT FOR YOURSELVES! THERE IS LOTS OF VERIFIABLE DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION TRANSFERRING U.S. "DUAL-USE" AND SENSITIVE MILITARY TECHNOLOGY TO CHINA!

Between the treason with China, and the treason of the liberal courts, America is being dismantled and destroyed by the United Nations Socialists (United Nazis) in Congress that call themselves Democrats...
The Democrats pledge their NATIONALIST LOYALTY to the collectivist body (SOCIALIST) body called the United Nations... Meanwhile, their SOCIALIST JUDGES are shredding the Constitution so fast that it is virtually non-existent.
Is it any wonder that the United Nations Socialists in Congress want all of the guns and will do anything in their power to take them?
A population that can not defend itself can not resist the tyranny of a totalitarian SOCIALIST government.

Japan isn't missing this either. China is going to become a serious threat to stability withing the next few years and I feel that trying to coax them to a more Democratic form of government through trade has only resulted in stuffing their coffers.
