Ya, I have thought a lot about the China threat. They are communists, so surely world domination factors in to their aspirations. I think the PRC has realized, like Hitler did, that you cannot beat capitalism so you might as well use it to your advantage. They are doing this quite successfully, albeit with slave labor (that didn't work too well with Stalin's Russia). The seeds of capitalism, however, have taken root and at one point or another the natives are going to get restless and revolt against the communist dictatorship and this is when the proverbial will start to hit the
made in China fan.
Perhaps to distract the people and mobilize them they will orchestrate a crisis and demonize America. They may force our hand and we will have no choice but to react militarily. They have no moral compass other than man-made reason, so I think they are capable of any kind of evil; I put nothing past them. The question is what will their move be?...I would imagine their ideal strategy would be to somehow orchestrate an economic collapse for America and the world and then begin a slow methodical takeover, one strategic interest at a time...Lets say they do and this Chinese imperialist conquest forces our hand--we fire nukes!...We lose...They have, what?...1.5ish billion people?...Lets say we take out 50 to 500 million of their people?...So what...this would be a good thing for them.
