They should be handled like the opportunistic, warlike scumbags that they are. They are itching for a confrontation & we better understand that or their liable to hit us with something that will make the WTC look like a traffic accident.

Unfortunatly, I agree with you. The problem is that China has the innate potential to become the dominant power on earth. Now whether China is totalitarian or democratic, it doesn't really matter because they will still reach for superpower status. And obviously the U.S will not willingly give up its global influence, thus conflict is inevitable. The problem is that since China has around the same territory, but a much larger population(thus a much larger potential market), they may well become much more powerful militarily and economically than the americans. So I'm not sure that the U.S will succeed even if they tried to crush China, the U.S may very well end up the loser.
