It will be really interesting to see what happens to China when their economy hits a recession (it's coming at some point) and they have troubles keeping the oil coming in....

Many Americans, many freepers included, can't pay attention to the mega-beast of China because they are WAY too busy hating all Muslims, all Arabs and the entire religion of Islam.
That takes so much time and energy that there isn't enough left over to hate the OTHER commie nations of Cuba, Vietnam, etc. They barely have the energy to hate EVEN Germany.
Thus, China goes ignored or YAWNED at when discussed.

That's either brilliant or ....well, just funny in a Three Stooges kind of way. Might you be suggesting that we don't know what's about to hit us?

As much as I hate to say it, with the war on Islamic radicalism at the top of the prioroty list, I just don't know if Taiwan is worth the war defending her would require.

Not that anyone should say so out loud.

They are building up rapidly, and using our money to do it.

This is where it could lead if we are not more vigilant:

The latest report expanded on that theme and said China had still not adequately explained "the purposes or desired end-stats of their military expansion."

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Blum have close relations with Chi-com leaders, ask them.
