I think we may have reached the tipping point where we are actually the power player in the debt owed to China thing.

When you own that darn much, you have a surprising amount of leverage. Of course it must be properly utilized.

Of course the Chinese are getting rambunctious. So are the Libyans, the Cubans and most of the other enemies of this country. Why shouldn’t they? They know there is a punk in the Oval Office.

Everybody is waiting to see what the community organizer will do. He will want to talk about it. When they blow him off he’ll start talking about how wrong America has been in the past. His next step will be to make unilateral cut in our defenses. This loser is encouraging enemies to attack us.

If we had any other President other than Ø, the Chicoms wouldn't have... a Chinaman's chance of us doing that!

I guess they will tell us to shut down “the project” in Taiwan.

The biggest enemy to the US Navy isn't going to be any action taken on China's part, but rather, the $9 trillion in debt that will be incurred over the next decade (on top of the $11+ trillion on the books today for a total of $20+ trillion). And of course, that debt will affect military spending in the decades thereafter.

In the long run, China will simply outspend the US in China's territorial sphere of influence. The US won't need to cede the world's waters to the Chinese as China isn't seeking to replace the US as the world's policeman (something they do not covet). However, the US will eventually cede territorial oversight of the waters surrounding China to the Chinese. That I gurantee will happen.
