- I predict a war between the Us and China sometime but it won't be for a longggggggggg time. They're still growing and thier economy is still heavily dependent on our economy. If they pulled the plug on that, it'd be tying bricks to their feet and jumping in the ocean.
*One factor that the Chinese rely on is time and are not so concerned
with "having it now" as we are. They are like a python, squeezing.
Actually, their economy is based on petroleum, for transpo and
molded plastic parts and they are developing a larger base of consumers
to offset the loss of the US.
- There's no way China can withstand a war with the U.S and no, it's not arrogance. We just simply have enough firepower to basically set their nation on fire from the air. Because, our military technology is still growing at an alarming rate(we spend more on our military than the next 10 countries combined) and we'll have more powerful weapons by then. If they tried to invade, 95% of their fleet will be sunk before it makes it halfway across the ocean.
*Since your research in 2001 the Chinese have done MUCH in the way of advancements including getting to space, upgrading weapons through spying and new partnerships. Remember, they took apart our spyplane and got info? They are also posted in the hills of Afgan. learning how we use our high-tech stuff. I theorize that Bin Laden is just over the border within China which is why we can't go after and get him. I also think China is supporting these "bad guys" to tie up our developments toward anti-terrorism rather than products and military advancements. I could go on for days....but won't. These folks are NOT the little cow herders and rice pickers we watch on film.
The Chinese excel in low-tech due to large numbers. Who needs a fleet when you can attack with shipping containers ships full of soldiers just floating into all major ports. AND if they nail Japan and Korea which they'd LOVE to do a big portion of our guys are toast.
In short...we are spread to thin. Families now mail goggles and flack jackets to their loved ones
in Irag.
- The world wouldn't stand by as it invades Canada. They're cute and they have hot chicks. You don't fuck with them.
Mmmmm...agreed. B.C. "peelers!
- Chinese Generals are infamous for shooting thier mouths off and saying outlandish things. So I don't really put much stock into it.
Yes...and ours are a bit tooooo optimistic.
Sorry for the long post, back in April of 2001 when China and the US were at a standoff over the spyplane I did a lot of research on both countries militaries.
So...more METAL less of this!
