Add two to three decades and subtract fourteen years, and you've got six to sixteen years from now. This article was published long before 9/11. We know now that the American military was a lot tougher than thought at that time. I'm posting it to show that concern about Chinese belligerence was around even in the early days of FR.
Also, we know that America's debt troubles have only grown worse since then. Mainland China's a big creditor of the U.S. government now. Those junior officers in '97 have likely risen to higher and more responsible positions, and I see nothing that indicates they've changed their opinions. Suffice it to say that there's a cadre of Chinese officers who are well prepared to take advantage of any U.S. decline.
The original poster of this article, on September 18th, 1997, was none other than Jim Robinson. It got eight comments.

>Chinese see weaknesses in U.S. military
Really? Let’s have some “fun” then by having a million Chicoms invade our shores..
Is there a single one of the Republican candidates for POTUS who pays any attention to the Chinese threat? Duncan Hunter was the only one last time around. I’m sure the globalists like Romney and Perry don’t give a bleep, any more than Perry cares about the Aztec invasion, Reconquista, and Aztlan.
