The U.S. Constitution has set the eligibility requirements for the office of the President. It is up to us to decide who we want in the White House.
If Cain doesn’t know much about China’s nuclear capabilities, and it is entirely possible that he doesn’t, my answer is “So what?”
People who have been deeply immersed in business do not usually pay attention to the Order of Battle capabilities of foreign nations. They just don’t. And I suspect the majority of folks here on FR wouldn’t vote for him based on his military or international relations knowledge. (That’s why Newt Gingrich would make such an outstanding Chief of Staff.)
Cain is a business executive accustomed to making high level management decisions. He takes in information, processes and analyzes it, then orders a directive. We need someone like that in the White House, because the guy who is there now doesn’t know how to do that!

Sorry but there is a difference between not knowing much and not knowing anything about the nuclear capabilities of our probable number one opponent for trhe remainder of this century. While one would not expect him to know the President of every back-water country it is unsettling that he sees China as trying to acquire the nuclear capability that they have had for almost fifty years. That kind of stuff will get him chewed up in a general election debate.
