China doesn't want to take over America, China wants to replace the USA as the global supreme power. The USA must first collapse economically to accomplish that goal...

Chinese have been here in the US with their dirt cheap products in the Walmart for a long time. Scaremongering is a part of a racism.

Come on. If China wanted to take the U.S., they sure as heck wouldn't need to slowly set up plants to secretly build weapons or anything. If they REALLY wanted to invade and overthrow the United States...they could attack tomorrow and be done before the end of the year. They are the top military power in the entire world by a long shot.

Guys, you all need to relax.
Realistically, if China wanted to take over the USA, they would have done it already. They can do it pretty easily.

Duke....chill out with this!
The only thing that can conquer this country is an alien invasion or massive revolt by us the people. No other country on this planet can even make America break a sweat when we take the gloves off.
So what we owe China trillions! Lets say I owe you trillions...but I'm 6'6, 300lbs....while you're 5'6, 165lbs...WTF you're going to do?
If EVERY OTHER country in the world were to team up on America...we may break a sweat, but they'd be annihalated and we'd be the only people left on this Earth. This is where our swollen military budget has gotten us, there's NO ONE on this planet that can force us to pay anything.
That debt, like every other debt in history is merely paperwork. China knows it will never get it, and we know we will never pay it.

If China wanted to collapse the US economy, again, they could do it overnight. The majority of the national debt in the US is funded from virtual money created in China and Japan. They are literally printing money to keep their currencies undervalued, and using that money to buy up US dollars and US debt. It's not actually worth anything, and the whole thing is a ticking time bomb. It's almost like a killswitch in Asian that they can flip at any time when they feel like collapsing the West.
But they won't do it, so don't worry. It isn't in their interest. China has nothing to gain from taking over the USA or collapsing the US economy. Americans keep buying cheap Chinese goods and they are getting rich from all your money going over there. It's a great situation for them, really.edit on 31-1-2011 by DazedDave because: none

They will get it back, as the only alternative would be outright war...and that would completely destroy what's left of the US economy.
And as strong as the US army is, what makes you think they could beat a huge nation like China if they can't even conquer Afghanistan/Iraq after 10 years. China's military isn't as good as the US military, but it's LEEEEEEAGUES above that of fighters in Afghanistan/Iraq. So saying they wouldn't break a sweat is laughable given that they're sweating a ton in Afghanistan/Iraq
