History lesson as we prepare to fight a future war with China

[redhotiron2004]

China along with India are going to be the powerhouse that would drive the world economy in the future. Still, China is a communist nation and India is a democracy. Which means that China would still become more powerful. And India can be used to balance that power.

In this new era, petrol producing countries would no longer be needed. And we all know that America have always tried to occupy the power sources to maintain it's supremacy. And India might just be that source of power.

Having said that, China is getting extremely powerful and all economies of the world are dependent on its manufacturers. Soon, with the fall of OPEC nations we would see the rise of an unbeatable( though inexperienced military) China. And nobody can't deny that if Chinese progress isn't stopped than it would engulf America's economy and take it down.
It still is a huge threat because of the way it treats countries like Japan, Vietnam, tibet, even India etc etc. It's policies have always been to occupy more and more land. Even if that means threatening the entire countries. They are doing that now, and nobody( including UNO) have the will to stop them. And Chinese hunger would keep on increasing infinitely and would ultimately engulf the whole of America if they won't be careful enough and won't respond to the stress calls of these small nations that China is thrashing right now.

We are finally seeing some success in the "Global Economy" and America is running around scared, like a chicken with it's head cut off?

Or, we are going to go to war with China, or Russia, for that matter, because they are successful?

Ridiculous.

So this Dari guy is a Japanese demagogue who stokes irrational fear of China so he can justify his hatred for China? Is that the idea here?

FWIW, the chances of a bilateral, head on, and prolonged confrontation between China and the United States are almost zero. I say that because if you look at Chinese culture and how it responds to the West, there is a pattern. The Chinese are generally too polite and "face conscious" to directly confront the West. This pattern is real and plays out daily in the news. The one exception to that is when the United States has directly threatened China's ancestral territory.

That said, frankly China doesn't need or care to engage in any direct confrontations. They are gradually moving their economy down a path such that they could make us hurt pretty badly just by squeezing us economically. China will certainly exercise it's power and bend countries to it's will wer, it just won't play out in the way many Americans expect.

+1 - They are making the move economically to be the dominate player in the world. They are positioning themselves to establish their economy and their currency as a dominate force that will in time (if all goes right for them and if we continue to bury ourselves in debt) usurp our role in the global economy in the same fashion we over took the British.

Frankly there is more of threat of China and Japan (or even North Korea) engaging in hostilities than China engaging the US. As for Taiwan they are in the process and will eventually win over politically and economically without firing a shot in the long term if they continue on their current path.
