Oh no, you have it so wrong, that debt doesn't mean a thing. It is just money we owe China, the economy is going full blast, everything is beautiful, it couldn't be more wonderful. And if you do not believe me Ask George Bush.

Yes. Ask the Chinese Governement/ Chinese.\nThere are related issues.\n\nthen you will know why.

It depends, whether or not they are safe there. I don't think we should sacrifice our common history just to satisfy one people’s pride or greed.

China is not only growing at an incredible pace in industry and trade, but it is beginning to exercise more power all over the world.  Right now, China has interests in almost every corner of the world, including heavy involvement in world ports and other trade routes.  The problem with China is that it is right now opening its doors to everyone and everyone is opening its doors to them.  It does not seem like a threat... but, at the same time, it is selling arms to Iran and North Korea and spending huge amounts on its military.  There are old scars between Japan and China.  There are present conflicts with Taiwan.  Both could involve the US, against Chinese interests... I believe they are holding off on flexing their muscle until they have grown larger in economic and military dominance.  It is coming... the only thing that saves us, besides the fact that we are right now the only superpower, is that we are also their best customer.  Someday, their economy will be the greatest in the world and they will have more influence in world matters than the US... we will become another France or Germany, still strong but not the big boy on the block.  \nAs far as India, they will have a great economy but it is further away and they are not as interested in world dominance as the Chinese are.   \nStart learning Mandarin.

Yes, even with all of the soldiers deployed to other hot spots, we have plenty of troops here in the US that would be able to effectively defend this country against almost any invading force.  I say almost because if China ever decided to invade, we'd be screwed.

I think so. China has already has a larger population than we do. This means that they have more man power. More man power means they can produce more for cheaper. They also have the ability to have more great minds and creative thinkers because of such a population. And, if we don't shape up we are screwed.

Ok. Yes We would get involved with international support or not. The fact is we have invested way to much time money into Taiwan to let it change Gov'ts. The US however keeps an open opinion on the situation so not to effect the way china feels. Though taiwan is a thorn in china's side and they want it back they will not risk loosing all they have including there recent economic gains in the international community in order to take back such a minimal benefit. If you really want more of an answer just message me back!

We are leaving it up to the Chinese and Japan to deal with North Korea. we will play a meek role in the situation. It will be handled. The sleeping giant of China is an economic gladiator about to wake up. It is in they're economic interest to handle the situation. We will handle Iran with the UN at the forefront this time. By sealing there borders and fend off Muslim extremist while heavy sanction laden the Iranian government. It will fall from within after some surgical bombing is done at the right time.

China is a power to reckon with in the future especially that it s booming a an economic power.  Later, it might develop  superior arms and might engage in military adventurism in conquering other countries.

LMAO.\n\nAnd we should be worried about this?  Why?\n\nHave a nice day.

The US needs to take care of it's own interests.  If we don't, we are no longer our own nation.

No, I don't think that. We should do everything we can to solve it peacefully. However, if they launch the missle, we will make sure it is the LAST missle they ever fire....

What exactly do you mean by "great"? If you're mean great economically, militarily, and influentially, then the answer is probably yes. However, how it will exercise that power will determine whether it is great or not.\n\nSo really, there is no answer to your question at the moment . All we know is that China will be a huge influence on the World in this century.

Most of you seem to miss the point China has a standing army of 2.4 million the USA is 1.7 with reserves and everything.  We spend about 450 billion on Defense a year they spend 70 billion.  China doesnt have access to top technology due to a EU and USA arms embargo they put on them in 1981 when they killed chinese student protestors.  THey buy all their weapons from Russia which are 2nd rate.  Make no mistake about it though they are becoming more and more a threat economicly as their economy is growing fast and as they moderenize their army.  AS of now we are stronger but a full out war with China would hurt us abit.  Remember EU countries have cut Defense spending i think Britian is the largest army aroun 500k troops.  SO we would not get alot of help from them

I think that China is defending back its self now. The US has alwasys used such reports to manipulate other countries and force them to comply with its interests. Now China is no longer playing behind the scenes. I think the US will reconsider issuing these kinds of reports in the future because now the truth has been uncovered.  Democracy is not about eating hamburger and watching hundereds of T.V. channels. If you remember, a lot of fabrication went on in Bush's first period elections!!

China also would like to help but can't because of its close proximity to India who might be suspicious... you're on you own sorry!
