Well Im glad you are not in charge you will surrender before
the battle
most of info in the video was hogwash mixed with random facts, IMO..anyhow. don't fear the Chinese take em out ...that is if they try something stupid
I am not convinced of the authenticity of the statements attributed to the 80 year old former Vice-Chairman Of China's Military Commission.
Why can't we afford to ignore it. Apparantly your saying America is lost already so what exactly do you expect us to do?
OK, just as China is playing our friend and trading partner now and the original OP suggests its just a Red Dragon waiting to strike at CONUS, how about considering it may be much more plausible that any China/Russia axis may be one and the same situation. China and Russia fought major land wars as recently as 1965, 66' so just because both were governed by Communist's does not mean their is any love lost between these two nations.
I think logistically it would make much more sense for China to threaten Siberia for its vast untapped resources which are close to home and look for growing room in Southeast Asia by reducing indigenous populations prior to colonization. Lets not forget China also had a war with Vietnam in 76' over border dispute.
with all that said I do believe China is a great threat because I believe it would enjoy the U.S. reduced to third world servitude. Far better to accomplish this through proxies such as North Korea, Iran via EMP strike etc. or continuing to economically strangle us by controlling external energy supplies which China is diligently and progressively working on. Or both methods in long run.
China has officially put the United States on notice that Washington’s planned attack on Pakistan will be interpreted as an act of aggression against Beijing. This blunt warning represents the first known strategic ultimatum received by the United States in half a century, going back to Soviet warnings during the Berlin crisis of 1958-1961, and indicates the grave danger of general war growing out of the US-Pakistan confrontation. www.eutimes.net...
But if they take out our Grid with an EMP and release biological weapons etc. then wait a little they figure they can walk in and just mop up with little resistance as the people will be sick, dead & dying, without electricity, starving, and in chaos.

I confess I did not watch the vid's b/c it's late here and I'm tired, but may I just post one thought related to this statement...

...if they take out our grid, they may render our lands uninhabitable due to the inability to keep all of the nuclear facilities from melting down and the spent fuel from heating up and reacting again. Forgive me for asking, but was that covered in either of the videos?

These ports, while true that china uses them, there is a simple reason for this: it is much cheaper than to pay the port fees for the amounts of goods they export all over the world daily right now, and the reason for this is because they have all the factories since their labour is really cheap... they are the kings of producing goods for the rest of the world atm. There doesn´t have to be a hidden agenda behind everything...
CHINA is preparing for conflict ''in every direction'', its Defence Minister says...
''In the coming five years, our military will push forward preparations for military conflict in every strategic direction,'' General Liang Guanglie said in an interview published by state-backed newspapers in China.

China is holding back selling their natural resources while buying up America’s ( maybe using their’s to build up their military?
www.reuters.com... [/ex
Here we have them stating they are perpetually preparing for war. What more do you want it all adds up.
Oh and the have unloaded 97% of thier holdings in US treasury bonds but hey this is all just wild speculation... Sigh!edit on 11-7-2011 by hawkiye because: (no reason given)

Agreed. I think it's not yet going to happen, but will likely be an eventual outcome of the depletion of resources.
It's just too soon for that to be the case.
I actually think it could start this decade, but is still at least a few years off.
