"They also perceive no downside to brushing off American concerns about their military buildup. "The neo-cons have persuaded Bush that Islam using local suicide car bombs is the biggest threat to America. Bush has gone along thinking they are 'doable' to demonstrate our 'shock and awe'. The Chinese are unconvinced.

An article that crystalizes things. I wonder if our leaders have the ultimate backup plan that pulls the rug out from under the Chinese economy and then ferments civil war there. On the other hand, when you have a leader who cannot utter a complete sentence, one tends to doubt.

Lost (more accurately, not mentioned) in all the economic/trade banter of the article is that China will eventually surpass the USA in military might. It will take a while longer to match the USA in force projection using conventional means, but long before that, China will exceed the USA in technological supremacy and military might (strategic).
America's days are numbered. Our "leaders" care more about popularity contests and wielding power and holding on to their jobs (their pensions) than they do the future of our nation.
