Agreed. I believe that the Chinese, if they ever reach the time and position where they are willing to act, will use asymetrical warfare in an attempt to negate our advantages.

They would much rather just continue down the road they are currently on to the point where economically they bring us to a point and we are either unwilling, or not in a position to counter or oppose their dominance in Asia. With our current economic policies, IMHO, we are playing directly into their long-term hands.
