Thats what I’ve always said. What would be their economic advantage to striking us? Nothing.
Exactly. There's NO WAY China's going to attack us militarily. Not while they're busy accumulating all those US bonds as the World's #2 holder of them (Japan's #1). They'll be holding that over our heads if they haven't already used them for leverage during any discussions. All they'll need to do is cash in, and boy will we feel it.
Think conglomerates (ie., Walmart, GM and co.) currently benefiting from China's cheap labor are gonna root for our side? Yeah, right.
Manufactured goods from China, IT outsourcing to India (call centers!!!), the dominance of Japanese cars and tech equipment, South Korea's growing distaste for Americans... Asia's starting to worry me, though heck, they do need us as the greedy consumers we are almost as much as we need them.
Open borders are sure helping the problem too, huh? HOW ON EARTH did we get to this point? Where did my country go? BUY AMERICAN, d*mn it! Or is it too late?
