China is not going anywhere and war with her is unthinkable and unnecessary

Again devoid of reality. They have declared us the "Main Enemy" and are gearing up to attack us.

Your wishful thinking is Liberal Apeasement to the hilt.

Nobody who believes in Communist appeasement the way you do...denying their communist nature (80% of the populace is still in the "old economy") can claim to be serious. Read their constitution sometime: It is not debatable what they really are. And you are off base about their intentions. Get serious about China's Rising Military. Don't be easily duped by the Panda-Hugger lobby.

I strongly suggest you listen to better conservatives and supporters of liberty:

The late Constantine Menges, for example, in China: The Rising Threat. (2005) lays out the stubborn facts you fail to comprehend.

Constantine Menges, in his book "China: the Gathering Threat," warned that China is pursuing a stealthy, systematic strategy to obtain geopolitical and economic dominance and that America could be embroiled in a showdown with China in this decade. Menges, as a special assistant to President Reagan, played a key role in the downfall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.

Dr. Menges told us that China has been and remains, along with Russia, the leading supplier of weapons of mass destruction to North Korea, Iran, Syria, Libya and Cuba. In his book, Menges tells us that China is capable of launching nuclear missiles in thirty minutes that can kill Americans. He tells us, "The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) defines the U.S. as the main enemy."

And what about the Cox Report? Has the Administration forgotten or bothered to read this report that unanimously found that the PRC has stolen design information on our most advanced thermonuclear weapons, that the next generation of such weapons will exploit elements and that their penetration of our national labs spans several decades and most certainly continues today?

In a foreword to the Cox Report, Former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, a patriot to the core, wrote the following: "Communist China's long march against the U.S. is as tenacious as it is diverse – from campaign contributions used to influence in the White House, purchasing an interest in American corporations, hi-tech spying, to old-fashioned military buildup threats."

Weinberger recalls the words of Chinese General Xiong Guangkai, who in 1995 told an American official that the PRC would call the shots in the Asian theater "because in the end the U.S. cares a lot more about Los Angeles than it does about Taipei."

The Cox Report uncovered espionage by agents of the PRC that Weinberger charges is "the most serious breach of national security since Julius and Ethel Rosenberg betrayed our atomic secrets to the Soviet Union and Aldridge Ames sold us out." The Rosenbergs paid with their lives. The crimes uncovered by the Cox Report have yet to be redressed.

Constantine Menges, now deceased, offered these recommendations on how to confront China's gathering threat. In his book he adheres to what President Reagan, with Dr. Menges advising him, used as a guiding strategy to bring down the Soviet Union. The U.S., says Dr. Menges, should:

1. "Start telling the truth about Communist China;

2. maintain Cold War alliances both economic and strategic, and seek a new defensive alliance with India and its population of 1.1 billion;

3. shift trade opportunities in Asia from China to American allies and security partners;

4. and most urgent: the U.S. [should] move from intention to actual deployment of national and regional missile defenses."

Most Americans don't know we are unprotected from the growing threat of a missile attack. The fallout from this delay in preparedness could be an enormous loss of life.

Additionally, we must maintain the integrity and control over classified information within the U.S. government and among all contractors with sensitive military technology information, significantly improve and expand our U.S. counterintelligence, and expel from the U.S. companies that function as fronts for any military or intelligence-related entities in China, Russia, or any other non-allied state.

Wes Vernon, brilliant Washington-based writer and veteran broadcast journalist, has brought our attention to Dr. Constantine Menges' documents. Vernon tells us, "China's potential to do harm to the U.S. is in a category all by itself if for no other reason than it has neutralized so much of America's business and policymaking sectors."

Wes Vernon told Weinberger, "The Clinton administration perpetrated some of the worst, most damaging national security decisions of the 20th century."

And now Hillary Clinton wants us to believe that cozying up to Red China is a new phenomenon that just emerged since her husband departed the White House. She recently warned: "We are giving up our fiscal sovereignty to China. How do you get tough with your banker?" This, after the Clinton regime gave the Chinese the political and economic keys to the White House and accepted campaign money from Communist Chinese sources.

The warnings are here, spoken from the grave by Dr. Constantine Menges. Think again before claiming that China is not a military threat to the U.S

So all the social, political, and economic liberalization going on in China is "just clever trick! Fool White Devil!"

You seem to only be able to respond with cold war propaganda. Certainly someone in China can find similarly threatening words written by some American military thinkers.

China does not wish to rule the world or even to spread "communism." China, I assume, does wish to have a sphere of influence in Asia and wishes the US to desist from challenging that sphere. This kind of clash can certainly be handled diplomatically over time and I look forward to the day when China-US relationships are not so unlike those we maintain with most of the world's other republics.

As I said before, war with China is unthinkable and unwinnable. Fortunately, most American leaders now realize this.
