And this surprises who?

China is well on it's way to poisoning our young, killing our pets, and taking over strategic companys.

How much of this do you think is coincidence?

China is a problem. After a generation of a one child policy, millions of men have reached marrying age without the prospect of finding a mate - ever. Such a predicament may force unrest toward the Chinese government. A sure way to redirect unrest is to go to war.

China could field an army of millions. They are a problem.

With all due regard for the importance for survival I simply don’t see the U.S. winning in an armed conflict with China. If you want to endure the loss of millions of Americans lives in an nuclear war, take on China. The only answer to China is to wait them out. They know we can’t beat them in a conventional war on their home turf and that we’d be forced to engage them in a nuclear exchange. No one wins under that scenario but truth be told, with a population 5 times that of the U.S. and a geographic size greater than that of the U.S. when you take into account the size of the region as a whole, China is far more likely to survive a nuclear exchange than is the U.S. It appears to me that time is on our side with China although ultimate resolution may be at Taiwan’s expense.

Currently, an all-out war between the PRC and the United States is very remote.

China is hard pressed to keep up its economic rise so as to suppress potential unrest among its people. While the one-child policy has led to a higher percentage of boys, there is huge pressure on those [sometimes] single children to provide for their progenitors, not only their parents, but also their grandparents. A sizable proportion of young Chinese men dying in a war is almost guaranteed to spark an uprising within China. The United States and allies are currently by far China's largest trading partners. The trade sanctions imposed by a declaration of war would collapse the Chinese economy.

Similarly, due in part to bad judgment, the United States is becoming more and more dependent on China. China is a major source of imports, and also one of the larger nations to which the United States exports--a sign of how bad the United States is currently with exporting, even with a cheaper dollar. With China's trillion dollar plus trade surplus, which has been used to buy plenty of American dollars, China is protecting the United States from the country's huge account deficit. If war is declared, China could conceivably collapse the American economy, too.

So, total war between the United States and China (and it would almost have to be total war) seems to be far in the future, if at all.

China has more billionaires now than any country except the USA. The China of these file pieces is not the China of the present.

China has been preparing for war against the US for quite some time now. They are trying to find ways to counter our carriers and air advantage. It wouldn’t suprise me one bit if they resorted to nukes over Taiwan.

Maybe Bill Clinton can go over there to help? Actually I think he’s done enough damage to us already.
