"And,without the USA, who would they sell all of their goods to?"
Your first mistake is to assume that Communists put business relationships/trade above the REVOLUTION. It is quite the other way around, as the history of Communism has shown over and over.
"The Chinese would NOT want to go the war route"
I said the Red Chinese want to go the "National Liberation" route as per my post #65. They are building their military to keep us at bay while they build alliances and sponsor Communist revolution around the globe. Besides, why would they want to go to war right now, when they are winning victory after victory without even having to fight (Sun Tzu comes to mind here)?
