And Nazi Germany would never invade France, France was their #1 trading partner!
You left out the part I said about the reliance China has upon our economy in general - Germany was not the largest owner of French debt as China is of ours, and did not rely on the French economy to the extent that the Chinese economy relies upon ours.
In fact, Germany was in debt to France (and others) thanks to the Treaty of Versailles, and this debt, and the anger over it, helped to partly propel the Nazis into power. China, on the other hand, owns our debt.
China going to war with us would almost instantly cost them a few trillion dollars, both in American debt they own, and in investments they own in this country.
And Germany didn't spend the past 30 years building up a massive economy that relied upon France's economy just to go to war with them.
Preparing and then going to war helped German unemployment. Going to war with us would increase Chinese unemployment, and unemployed Chinese are Chinese that have nothing to do with their time other than to wander around the cities and get angry with the government. The Chinese government has a hard time controlling dissent now. Dump a hundred million unemployed Chinese on the streets, and China would fall apart.
China going to war with the US is a fantasy. They will not destroy their economy and risk the destruction of their government/country.

The American business model is broken.
We sit in America, buying nothing but imports, using money we print.
That is not how to run an economy.
We need to sell things and buy our own goods.
Now. Stop buying imports. Buy American.
Now.

I was referring to your assertion that they would never invade South Korea...
