Rofl :)

Don't be so sure.

What right does the US have of considering China a thread to world peace? The United States spend more money on military, and have launched attacks against Afghanistan and Irak during these past years. [Note that whether these attacks were justified or not has nothing to do with this post.] I really don't get it.

Re: Seems Im not the only one worried about China.
 

Well of course its a threat. So could the German military, or the British. The crucial factor is wheather or not China would be willing to use that military against the US. In a war against North Korea, not a chance. That would isolate China from the world, again. If the US openly backed Taiwan, then yeah, they probably would go to war with us.

China has made so much progress under Deng Xiaoping and his successors, that I would find it hard to believe they would just throw it all away.

China's mass improvement in all aspects to me to be proof that communism does work, contrary to what 99% of what you all say.

Eitheir way to say that China is a threat to the world is downright foolish, Rumsfield should be shot for saying that.

Re: Seems Im not the only one worried about China.
 

first off, china is successful because its sytem is not totaly communist, its been becoming more and more dilluted and slowly merging with ideals that of europe and america. and they are a threat to the world, their idelas and vision of the world is different than ours, and when they have the ability to do so, i doubt anything will hold them back from taking a militaristic stance in achieving their interests.

Isn't like 90 percent of our crap "made in china"? :p

Re: Seems Im not the only one worried about China.
 

But what good will they get in attacking other countries for no reason? No offence, burt this is why sometimes I'm really that dissapointed with certain Americans...

Re: Seems Im not the only one worried about China.
 

True. In my opinion, such a large country as China, with ancient history stretching far beyond most other country's, when formed (the country), needs a drastic, very influencial system that will stablize the country. Communism was their choice. As a country gets richer gradually, they then can afford to adapt their ways, and I believe that staying purely communist forever was never an idea that the Chinese embraced. So as you said - they are becoming more capitalist by the year...

1stly - You say that "their ideals and vision of the world is different than ours", so what, exactly? You think that because it's different, that they, obviously, are willing to attack? Just because it's different...?

2ndly - "and when they have the ability to do so, i doubt anything will hold them back from taking a militaristic stance in achieving their interests".... Three letters come into my mind... "U", "S" & "A"... :uhm:

I'd say let china go and build all the weapons they want. Soon the goverment runs out of money and bam, communism in china is dead.
