I don't believe for one second that China wants a war. Why the hell would they, as it would be suicide! All i read on this thread are messages from paranoid people who have been used to their country being number one, and now see it quickly slipping away. So what do they do? They attack the next super power
If China go to war, it will be a war they did not start. Yes, they have investments everywhere, but i tell you this. If it was America in that position, would the Americans moan, or be proud of their great nation, their great empire?

I've never seen a bigger bunch of hoopla over nothing....
Ford and GM have huge factories over in China. You don't see them flipping out do you?
They are investing money in the US and that means jobs. Just like the Japanese and Germans did during the 80s and 90s with Toyota and BMW plants etc etc etc.
It's a global market people get use to it.

SIGH...
Whatever...
I'm sorry I'm too old to worry about some tin-foil hat fearmongering.
I understand you're afraid. It's not just a few of our companies over in china either. We've invaded them long before they invaded us...
So, are you saying you trust the Chinese government? Maybe they don't want a war, but as I have alluded to, they don't need to go that route if things go as planned.
Now, you might want everyone to believe that China wants to go to war and destroy everyone, but in fact, its your own government that has been doing this for years.
Yes, many people have lost their jobs in America due to companies moving overseass. bUt thats not China's fault, that the greedy companies fault for not giving a crap about the American people and just thinking about money.
What part of the Chinese being quoted that they are preparing for war do you not understand? So because my government has sold us out I should not protest and try and stop them?
No it's not, it is the American governments fault for taxing and regulating industry to death forcing them to go off shore to stay in business or die. Now they are offering teh Chinese incentives and perks to set up manufacturing here that they won't even offer their own people the American citizens. it is high treason!
And where have you heard that the chinese officially said they preparing for war? No BS propaganda media, i mean officially said they are preparing for war?
Again! how is it the Chinese fault! The American people should show or there anger at their own government, bit China.

Dreams are funny....sometimes they are prescient and sometimes they are paranoid. True, why would they attack their best customer? What if the financial system collapsed and they were left holding worthless debt? What if we attacked first (defending Taiwan or South Korea?). Remember Japan attacked us after we withheld strategic oil and supplies from them during the build up to WW!!.....now the Chinese are the ones withholding strategic metals. But it would have to be something like that not a revived Mongolian empire set on domination of the known world.edit on 19-2-2011 by CosmicCitizen because: (no reason given)
