IMHO, in any coming confrontation or war with Red China, one of the most serious issues we will have to find a way to deal with is our failure to prevent Chinese influence and mischief in Central and South America, and particularly with the Panama Canal.

That set of circumstances is one of many major issues that is examined and written about (along with a gripping storyline) in:

THE DRAGON'S FURY SERIES
A techno-thriller Series about America and the next World War

We are currently in a position, not unsimilar to the initial scenario that I came up with in 2000-2001 for the novel series...ie. heavy (and necessary) involvement in the Mid-East with a serious escalation of tensions with N. Korea that then leads to war...and then ultimate Chinese intervention when we strain to respond on the Korean penninsula while the fight in the Mid-East gets even worse.

Aren't we already in the third world war. Or the fourth, if you caount the Cold War.

Time to bring back the Monroe doctrine, people. Terrorism is just one of several threats to western civilization.

Central America is the USA's "soft underbelly." There is no doubt the Chinese are gearing up to give us major problems from that direction.
