The Chinese will not launch nuclear weapons at the United States. Why would they do this when they can merely buy us out in another century and turn us into a subsidiary of their country?
How will this happen you ask? Well, the current trade deficit with the Chinese will continue, and grow worse as time goes on. Then, at some point, the Chinese will revalue their currency with regards to the Dollar and the most massive buyout of American corporation by foreign companies will take place that you have ever seen.
The now-Chinese owned companies will need Chinese managers and directors, of course, and a wave of communist Chinese immigration will take place as American management is replaced by "guest workers".
Between this event, which will replace American workers at the top of the economic food chain and the flood of illegal aliens which have replaced American workers at the bottom, we shall find ourselves living as strangers in our own land. Oh, and conservatism will be DOA as a political philosophy by the turn of the next century, and we shall have done it to ourselves.
Ask yourself, if what our current economic masters tell us is true and that a desire for a manufacturing economy is so outdated, why does China desire to become the world's premier manufacturing economy? And why has the wealth of the Chinese nation ramped up in direct proportion to their having done this?
Protectionism is the only tool that can halt Chinese ambition; unfortunately many of our own conservative brethren are too foolish - or too shortsighted - to see this.

Take your point'Old Mill'although there may be some anthropological reasons why the Chinese would not prosper in a different hemisphere.
