China is still mired in its communist roots. The one-child-per-family policy resulted in the abortion of many little girls resulting in an unatural and unbalanced bias favoring boys over girls. At its peak, the demographic anomaly will produce 26 million more men than child bearing women.

If Chinese women are like the rest of the world, they will marry men that have jobs and resources. Chinese authorities will eventually need to contend with 26 million angry men with no wives or social standing. In a culture that requires ancestor worship or remembrance of the dead to keep alive the spirit of the deceased, many families will perish spiritually as well.

What will the authorities do with 26 million angry Chinamen. Most likely, they will put them in uniforms and march them into battle. The thrust of the action will be towards natural resources in Siberia or the Middle East.

The army that fights the Chinese will need to eliminate 26 million soldiers before the Chines side even begins to care. Pressure will mount for the Russians or the MidEast to be the first to sign a nonagression pact with the Chinese.

I know this will sound absurd to most of you, but I pray for the conversion to Christianity of the Chinese - I prefer to hope for 26 million celibate priests.

Well, I know in the 1950's to the 1980's, NATO was concerned about a massive Soviet/Warsaw Pact push into West Germany through the Fulda Gap. If it got too much for NATO's conventional troops to handle, the nukes will fly. I think there is a good point where after some time, the "new Fulda Gap" will be Siberia and I think the Russians faced with a massive march of humanity from Red China and with their declining population, they will be forced to the same conclusion that NATO had during the Cold War, using nukes. That will be the only way to stop the Red Chinese. I know it's messy, but I think current policy is a disaster and all we are doing is giving the Chi-Coms the money and technology to make themselves more dangerous. Yes prior to 1990, the Red Chinese did have "The Bomb" and perhaps an outside chance of hitting the U.S. Pacific Northwest since about 1982 or so, but it was more of a "hail Mary, wing and a prayer thing" back then. Even back then, if they got into with with the USSR, they could tear up a good amount of Soviet forces but the USSR would have hit them back harder. If they got into with with anyone else, they only had some 1950's era tanks and planes for the most part. Well thanks to the policies of our government and in the name of "free trade" they're modernizing faster than you can say "Jack Robinson." What was a "hail Mary" capability to hit the U.S. in 1982 is more of a sure thing now.

Lenin did say that "that Capitalists will sell us the rope that we will use to hang them with," and I'm afraid the guy is right on the money on this one.

I agree with your prognosis...and have the same hope, however fleeting.

Since we allowed Mao to be victorious on the mainland, China has not been our friend in any shape or form. They are our ideological opposite and their form of government and their regional and global ambitions are the anti-thesis of our own.

We are literally dancing with the devil in our current economic and trade relations with them and, IMHO if we do not change our posture quickly as regards them, it will lead to economic and potential military DISASTER.
