China would be a nightmare from the standpoint of numbers and size but militarily they would not stand a chance. We could knock them back to pre-ming dynasty in a conventional war and they know it.

That's why they keep threatening us with nukes trying to scare us off from a conventional fight while they build up a massive arsenal. We would crush them if we had too, but they know we don't want to lose a city or two doing it. They're willing to risk total annihilation because they don't think we would want to look like a "high-tech nuclear bully"

The Chinese are more insane and crafty than Soviet Communists were. Bush is trying to bring them down exactly like Reagan brought down the USSR, with SDI.

More than not I want to believe you, I just pray it doesn't come to that. Keep this thread going as best you can, I can barely keep my eyes open, pleasant dreams as they say!
