The seeds of war very much include nations becoming strong enough to forcibly take over nearby territorial areas - destroying free trade. The seeds of war had Germany and Japan doing exactly that in the 1930s.
Thank you. This is my point. China is becoming stronger because of the type of one sided free trade that we are all to happy too give them. China is sowing the seeds of war in every way from provocative and bellicose acts like are mentioned in this article to nuclear ICBMs that the PLA seem all too excited to use on us. China had no problem with murdering 30,000,000 of it’s own people. They use the wealth made from us to arm our enemies. They use their new power to politically enable our enemies. They are disputing the boundaries of most all of their neighbors. We are becoming weaker because of this species of trade with them and this emboldens them even more. If we continue to fuel this process, we are providing powerful fertilizer for these seeds. We are ensuring war because of our trade and that trade will not be the only casualty. You can expect many lives to be lost, American, Chinese and from all the other countries that get sucked into the fracas. It will be a bloody war.
