What happens when China eventually gets the capability to do likewise...assuming we don't also have some comprehensive missile defense that is... (Space based Brilliant Pebbles / Laser would be nice IMO)
Will this current crop of leaders in Beijing play MAD the way we played it with the Russians...or do they have some upstart ego driven young military guys...just like Japan had in the precursor to Pearl Harbor?

Why not mention NATIONALISM...an innate powerful force... Unlike Japan, which is a homogenous, well disciplined society...China is a multi-cultural, widely dispersed society that has no/little history of nationalism.

The so-called "nationalism" in China is nothing more than a facde. Uee a vical minority to cover the fact that the vast majority wants the ChiCom government gone.
