China does not need a superpower military. The only point of contention there is between them and us is Taiwan, which may ultimately be resolved by our pulling the entire population of the place back to one or two of our own island possessions 7000 miles back from the Asian mainland. The only other thing they need a military for is to kidnap 70,000,000 Indian or Indonesian women, and they don’t really need aircraft carriers for that.

All they need now is for Hillary to win in ‘08. Taiwan will be a gift.

In the not to far future, China will take Japan, Taiwan and threaten Australia without a peep from US militarily speaking. The libs have closed the mouths of those who disagree with them by means of intimidation and blackmail.

More politicos take Arab money than every before and answer to their handlers rather than their constituents.

Russia will have the political will and military power to nuke China and Europe and the Political centers of the US.

We can pay now and take on the libs and their suicidal power mongering or pay later.

China is the country with the largest number of international boundaries or water bodies with different countries.These included disputes with Vietnam,India,Russia,Japan,Indonesia,South Korea,Philippines to name just a few.They have fought major wars with the first two countries & have had minor skirmishes with others.

IOW,it makes sense to have a stronger military,even if there was no problem with Taiwan or Uncle Sam.
