If you haven't see it already, you might also want to check out post #13. We need to wake the conservative movement up on the real danger posed by Communist China/Eurasian Alliance.

Only hope their military holds up as well as products from Wal-Mart...

[traviskicks]

I am not too worried. The more china develops economically, the less they will be able to wage war even if they want to. Businessmen will begin to take over key party leadership positions. All of that economic lobbying will make it extremely difficult for China to act overly aggressively because it will hurt the economy.

Capitalism and free trade = peace.

I think Conservatives are aware of the Communist Chinese threat but the Clinton Administration ignored the issue for years and years.

[proust]

A lot of people don't want to wake up:

"Only hope their military holds up as well as products from Wal-Mart..."

lol! Unfortunately, those products are reserved for foreigners.

"Both Japan and Vietnam have noticed this also."

Ya don't suppose Viet Nam is going to ask America to establish bases there do you? It would be the irony of ironies.

[Scothia]

You'd have to drag a lot of freepers kicking and screaming from Wal-Mart.

So I assume that you're ready to recommend an alternative--one that sells no Chinese-made articles whatsoever.

Still waiting...

If left to the status quo, expect the China/Eurasia Alliance to overtake us in technology within 10 years, maybe sooner. Take it from someone who has been all over there many times.

China will seize Taiwan

What if Taiwan VOTES to go for Hong-Kong type status?

"Conservatives are aware of the Communist Chinese threat but the Clinton Administration ignored the issue for years and years."

My tin foil view is that the Clinton Administration didn't ignore the threat of China. They helped make China more dangerous.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

There are early indications that the Chinese are starting to penetrate the Western Hemisphere-a recent article describing a 100 billion investment in Latin America.

[Paulus Invictus]

This is the real reason for hating Wal-Mart et al whose billions have made the Chinese military what it is today and worse, what it will become, all the while we fight among ourselves (against the RATs) about military spending.

"What if Taiwan VOTES to go for Hong-Kong type status?"

Secretary Powell has certainly been pushing hard for Taiwan to go the way of Hong-Kong. Indeed, he has been pushing the "One China" policy so hard that it must be the policy of the Bush administration. If this is the case, conservatives need to put pressure on congress to oppose this disastrous policy at all costs. If Taiwan goes, Japan and South Korea will be next.

Ping.

Thanks for the post Ginifer. I will read it right now. BTW, did you check out post #13 yet?

[AntiGuv]

In what kind of technology?

I don't mean to be a Pollyana, but I'm seriously curious to hear what kind of realistic military threat China poses to America. The most I can come up with is an invasion of Korea, and that itself would be a huge mess that would push China's military to the limits.

[Strategerist]

the question seems to be not IF but WHEN China will seize Taiwan

The question is WHETHER they can seize Taiwan, and the answer is an obvious "no."
