China is a peace-loving country and the Chinese people long for a peaceful world environment for economic development.That is probably correct when speaking of the people of China. But the people are not in charge, and their government and military are another thing entirely!

While predicting Sino-US relations in the next 20 to 50 years, Mearsheimer said that ... the United States cannot tolerate the existence of rival that maches it in force. Wow. WTF?!
Based on this guy's prejudices, he'd be more accurate predicting the weather.

Being that most leaders in China tend to fight as a last and not a first resort, I doubt if anything would occur anytime soon... However, with a two billion person population, capitalism and a need for natural resources and economic security might be a motivation for aggression... And they could lose 600 million people and still have enough to take over the world... We can not do that here....
From what I know of the "Art of War" tenets, the Chinese would most like use a perceived threat of force rather than actually resort to it... They do cherish life to a certain degree though the people on boats would probably disagree with me...

CHina has never made bones about wanting to rule the world. Only a fool thinks they mean well. We're fools. Why else would we continue to allow them to prosper at our expense?

Ya mean we're not confrontin' 'em already?
