And of course we are just sitting still with no technology advances in any area since, oh I guess 1995 or so Reality is twofold. 1. We have at this point a truly massive edge, militarily, over China and the entire world COMBINED. 2. CHINA has no death wish and you can bet they are well aware that just one facet of our military force, about 18 missile subs we have on constant patrol have the fire power to annihilate any nation or nations which are targeted. Each missile carries up to 12 warheads with each warhead being 5 times more powerful than what were dropped on Japan to end the war. Do the math. Eighteen subs x 24 missiles per sub x 12 warheads per missile equals close to FIVE THOUSAND NUKES on undetectable submarines each of which can be anywhere on the planet in 7 days or less. Can we be attacked? Certainly we can but the attacking country would be totally obliterated almost immediately and they all know it. Only crazed people like the suicidal Muslims would even think of an attack and that is reason enough to do anything we can to rid the world of them.

And....... Russia Shares a border.

Russia cannot and must not be removed from Chinese military planning

Those missiles are payload limited by treaty to 4 per warhead I believe.
