China's not going to do anything, its just that their people want democracy and freedom and the communists have to con the people into believing in them or they'll loose the entire shooting gallery like Russia did.
we have been targeting china since the 50s and our weapons technology is beyond anything they could ever conceive, so if they did make a move on the US, china would glow green for a 1000 years before they knew what ever happened to them.
i honestly don't think that they are that stupid and neither is russia

Dai Xu, a Chinese Air Force Colonel, is arguing for a short, decisive war with one of China's neighbors--Vietnam, the Philippines, or Japan--in order to establish sovereignty over the Pacific region without risking war with the United States.

So one is expected to believe that the PLA is going to take on 7th fleet in Japan?
Did they even make the movie to get enough attention on such an event?
Didn't see that one

By no means is China laying idle....but, people forget that the US has been at it a lot longer, and I really believe that the technological advantage is still in the US. China is good at stealing technology. I give them an A in that category.

You are sooooooo right!!!
and as a Hongcouverite I validate part of your claim.
I am in a war with China already! The price of housing here in what was Vancouver has risen to levels that can only be afforded by wealthy families from mainland China. In the crappiest part of Vancouver, an inhabitable home on a basic 60ft lot will run you just shy of 1 Million!!!
Most real estate agents here are Chinese. More than often any house that goes on the market here gets posted in China first before it is listed here.
Most bank positions here are filled with Chinese. Our city councilors are becoming majority Chinese. I think Richmond B.C just over the Fraser river from Vancouver is probably 70% Chinese (or so it appears) Some malls were forced to put English writing on their business signs as it was too clear that they only wanted Chinese business.
My wife is Chinese She is shaking her head mean muggin me as i write this
Our Director of CSIS came out a couple years ago to disclose that numerous cabinet positions have been compromised by Chinese Canadians that are still reporting back to China. Prime Minister Harper asked for CSIS directors resignation for doing his job.

Yep and good ol USA thought they where untouchable when they sent that U2 over Russia. Look where that landed them literally.
So are people so sure the US carrier groups can sit out of range still?edit on 21-1-2013 by Trigger82 because: (no reason given)
After days of diplomacy, Russia and China have agreed to support a US-backed resolution demanding that Iran stop activities that could be used to make nuclear arms.
Diplomats said on Wednesday the agreement sent a unified message to Iran, but also convinced Israel that diplomacy was a real alternative to military force in preventing a nuclear confrontation.
The United States and China have struck a tentative deal on a draft UN Security Council resolution condemning North Korea for its rocket launch last month, UN diplomats say.
Russia predicted the council would approve the agreement to issue a more forceful rebuke.
The resolution would not impose new sanctions but would call for expanding existing UN sanctions against Pyongyang, the envoys said.
Beijing's support for the move would come as a significant diplomatic blow to Pyongyang, they said.
