Can't see any reasoning in all this. Does anybody think the Chinese could or would make a successflul 'First strike' on the US ?. What would be left for the Chinese to achieve. Nuclear wind ,rain,irradiated soil and the absolute certainty of period of 'darkness' for the whole Planet maybe lasting hundreds of years. That is likely to wipe out everybody including the Chinese. I read here last week that soviet generals would never let their political 'masters'have the key codes to launch a strike on the west because they like everybody else knows that it would have been the 'final curtain'for all of us. Its difficult to believe in this technological age that some people still think a nuclear war can be won. Remember the Chernobyl accident...think about maybe three thousand Chernobyls happening on the same day that might give some idea . The next 'war' has already started the 'economic war' in the Pacific Rim and the United States is much better prepared to win that as they did with the long forgotten Soviets.

The Chinese are phenominal Chess players. They know that you do not win a match, or even a series of moves by having inferior pieces on the table. Your best chance of achievment is to have equal if not superior pieces. Walk quitely and carry a BIG stick. Then you can come to the Negotiating Table with power, and from a position of power, demand respect as such and get it. It isn't necessarily about who can light of how many of what. It is ABILITY to do so that gives the Chinese power. Mark my words, The Chinese are on the Move.

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.
