If they will fight in china, china has a big chance to win. They got so many people in the army and then they local people who will help. On the other hand it would be possible that if the US fights a war in china. Half the population will help the US to kick the communist out. More and more people in China want democracy, but can they say that? can they do something about that? Think back to 1989 what happend to the people who asked for democracy. \nSo if the US fights a war in China it could go two ways.\nIf the fight a war outside china i think The US will win. The Chinese army is BIG, but there high tech is not that advanced (not yet).  \nBut let's hope that this all will not happend, because it will affect the whole world.

Bush has said the US will defend Taiwan.  The problem is, there are so many Chinese in mainland China ... they would overwhelm us in a conventional war.

it is not really like the past 2 wars. but more of a series of wars. with the americans and their allies on one hand; china with other nations, in opposite opinion with the americans, and a third party, who are the opponents of the americans.\n\ni believe that the americans have to go to war mainly not to protect their people from osama bin laden. but it is more because of the oil in iraq and the business that it will generate to stop or even slow down overheating of their economy/ or recession.\n\nif the troops from iraq go home right now, i am sure that the us stock exchange will crash and there will be a recession in the us. and there's nothing americans can do about the ever growing economy of the chinese, who do good business with us foes like iran.

Sad but true, all wars since world war 2 have been conflicts. from korea to iraq. every generation has seen war. or as the gov calls it conflict. tell a soldger that korea, vietnam, panama, iraq 1, iraq 2 is not a war. i wouldnt but the gov would. they would tell them it was a conflict. messed up i think.

Interesting topic for discussion. Unfortunately, due to political issues dating back to Mao and the Nationalists, Taiwan and China just can't separate themselves from one another. The U.S. has a hard time choosing sides because while China helps the pocketbook, Taiwan supports the US ideal of democracy. It also helps to keep good ties to an up and coming military power such as China, wouldn't want to upset them too much considering we serve as Japan's military (although Japan is starting to acquire more defensive weaponry).

Well that depends on two scenarios.\n\nFirst is no invasion of either countries mainland. In that case, America would absolutely win due to the fact that they have more nuclear and ICBM missiles and they are technologically superior. America would suffer a lot of damage but then again, China would probably be destroyed.\n\nThe second scenario is an invasion of one mainland. then you have to look at the fact that the Chinese do have the largest army in the world though not as superior as the US Army. The US navy and Air Force would definitely triumph over any the Chinese could throw at them ( I mean the USA does have 10-12 Aircraft carriers). The Army and Marines are a different question as it would be a contest of quality vs. quantity.\n\nIn both scenarios, I believe that the USA would win though with extrememly heavy casualties. It has the foremost economy of the world and the most technologically advanced, a very skilled workforce, good communication networks and freedom of information.\n\nIt does depend largely on who declares war first because if the USA did, then no one American or anyone else would support it except Japan but if China declared war, then that would just motivate the Americans even more.

Japanese won't fight this battle but they do have a good navy and good army. They are planning for something big in the region. They will not give up easily. They are looking to take Taiwan again. The US and the Japanese have a military cooperation thing. The Japanese are going to try to drag the states into the whole thing with China and Taiwan. It is happening already.

Yes, Seneca said that.  Interesting that you would quote him. Do you know what his point was in saying "Be careful that your enemies dont get your weapons"?  Sounds a lot like that quote is very much in support of limiting nuclear proliferation Would it be best if nobody had nukes?  In the 50 years before nuclear weapons were invented, over 100 million people were killed in wars.  And in the 60+ years since, is that true?  If the US destroyed all of it's nuclear weapons, do you seriously believe this would end the problem?  That countries like North Korea and Iran would generously quite trying to build them?  The US, along with the EU, is trying to stop other countries from building nuclear weapons.  Are you trying to say that because the US, France, and the UK, among others, have nuclear weapons, that they should not try to stop proliferation?  Are you saying that the US and those other countries should get rid of their nuclear weapons, and thus would miraculously cause everyone else to stop building them?  Think about it-the US is hated by many powerful countries.  If the US got rid of their nuclear weapons, would that tend to make those countries more eager, or less, to build a weapon that, once the US had none, could aid these other countries in actually defeating the US on a battlefield?  Think through your argument- The US having nuclear weapons may be a problem, but it is unrelated to nuclear proliferation.  And, the US is not leading the battle to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, the EU is.

Thank you.  It's nice to know who our friends are and believe me, the respect and admiration goes both ways.  Though if you want a true look at who these "anti-war" protestors are, follow the link.  The zombietime "hall of shame" is enough to make one's dinner return.  However, the photographer also highlights the good people in the counter-protests and those who oppose terrorism in the "Bus-19" event.\n\nIt's amazing to see the difference between the rabid "anti-war" leftists and those who oppose them with dignity and self-respect.\n\nJust so one knows, I use "anti-war" as these "tolerant" and "open-minded" protestors seem to support any war in which the USA and her allies are destroyed and thus are only "anti-war" when the USA and her allies are winning.  Though, ironically, these same people are the first the terrorists would kill if given the chance (the "Queers for Palastine" group obviously didn't read Islamic Law's view on homosexuality)...  A chance the Armed Forces of America, England, and Australlia not to mention police and intelligence agencies world-wide will not give the terrorists.  \n\nYes, the irony of it all is the same people the leftists hate so much are protecting those same leftists from the terrorists and dictators they seem to love.

I know that they don't treat them very well in China. Have you ever watched anything about the tank man of China (Frontline) from PBS. He stood in front of a parade of tanks, and just told them to stop. Nobody knows today who he was, or wont say because he disappeared into the crowds. Beijing started to have the student riots to change the government shortly after this incident.

ARE you crazy or just plain dumb? What an idiotic thing to say. \n\nEven the Bush admin has given up on Iraq and Afghanistan as being free. So what was that F___ war for anyway!!\n\nWhat we should do is mind our own business!!\n\nThe ONLY superpower? China could probably kick our butts, especially right now, that is if you don't care whether anyone survives!

i think the us would try to stay out of it but like in Afghanistan back in the 80s the US would help against the aggressors (china) and that help is what causes china to attack us and causes the conflict on the east shore.

Being more numerous or being better eguipt does not win wars,what counts is the soldiers determination to fight,Japan has a history going back centuries of fighting against greater odds,South Korea on the other hand lacks the disipline to hold the line when pressed,Japan against South Korea would be like witnessing Alexander the great and an outnumber Macedonian army attacking Darius and the Persian army and make them turn and flee for their lives,Response to your vast knowledge of South Korea,I gather by your statements you are south korean yourself,if you are self promoting your country of origen there is nothing wrong with that,but to diminish another country's capabilities to elevate yours is where the wrong is being done,I'm neither south korean nor japanese so I have no personal interest in the matter,all I see is South Korea having a larger army than North Korea with better military armament provided by the US and still need American Soldiers to protect it from North Korea.Why do you put a question for debate and then throw a tantrum because people don't agree with you,if you're trying to show your national machismo and expect people to agree with you,make it known to start with so people won't waste their time with your adolecent questions,by the way,don't even bother answering,this is the last time I'll be reading this list

If WWIII were to happen, my guess is that it would be in asia.  my bet would be china, pakistan, north korea, and maybe iran against india, US, south korea, japan, thailand, and maybe some european countries.  Also countries like nepal, afghanistan, iraq, which have civil wars or insurgencies going on would probably see an upsurge in violence as rebels in the country would probably recieve funding from opposed countries.\nChina is friendly with pakistan, and supports iran and north korea, while india is their main competitor in asia.  India has gotten the backing from the US so they can counter china.  India and pakistan of course are not friendly and have fought wars before, and india and china have also fought wars before and never really have great relations.  If a war like this was to break out and the US backed India, i'm sure china would let north korea go after south korea to divert US troops.  Thailand and Japan are both US allies and would not want to see China win something like this because it would really put their own interests at risk.  As for the european countries, i think it probably depends on the specifics of how the war started, great britain would definitely join with the US and india,  but the other countries likely would not if the US or India started the war.  Both Pakistan and China have been friendly with Iran, but who knows what is going to happen with iran now.  just my speculations on it.\nI don't know how it would start, maybe an india and pakistan conflict where india starts to gain the upper hand, then china intervenes so india will not become dominant, or a war between the US and iran which causes north korea to realize that this is their chance and they attack SK.  who knows?\ni'm not saying this will happen, but right now it is the most plausible scenario i can think of.
