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'.
You are correct. I have written my congressman over and over again on this issue and he has ignored me. He is too busy running around the state talking about his dream of a "self driving car"
