yuppers.

i say we need to mind our own buss. on this one..........

enough is enough.

china doesnt care, they will strike...... with a force to be reconed with.

it's becomming quite obvious that we cant control the world... nor should we alone try...or even with englands help...

next thing you know, we'll have chinnese terrorists in our country.......

we may have superior technology, butthey have superior numbers. It'ss quite scary to think if you put all the chinese people capable of military service, and put them in a line and have them walk past you, the line would never end (population growth) .

It's in the cars folks... for a while now china has been increasing their army within the region closest to mainland China. Now they reached a military build-up comfortable to openly declare that it is illegal for Taiwan to secceed within the past year. China has been on a furious pace to modernize it's infrastructure, and it's military BIG TIME. They have been more aggressivly-confrontational with Japan, over every little arguement. China has been doing many, many MANY Naval exercises, off the Taiwanese coast to intimidate Taiwan, Their fleet of military naval vessels to transport troops is enormous and increasing ever faster.

Why do the PLA hate Taiwan so much you might ask? Well here is the history lesson of the day. After WWII the communist party in China started to spread while fighting the people who wanted a democracy that existed after the last emporer lost power... you see those people who belieive in democracy and dislike communism escaped to Tawain! Taiwan has always since then been run more democratically than the rest of China.. It irks the PLA and the communsit party that they did not take complete control over all Chinese... So to this day the battle has never really finished (and it is strongly one sided that the PLA will win) We have always given taiwan a helping hand, but China was also our ally during WW2... but we cannot tolerate communism when it smothers the free will of people.. it's a sticky situation that really has no diplomatic answer .


Bottom Line, China is building up army, modernizing it's ability to wage war... for one reason... finally defeat the remaining people that oppose communism... and do you really think they will stop their... remember they hat e japans guts for what they did in WWII... It's happening right in front of us .. the buildup to the next major battle and seems likely it WILL occur... WHen? when they feel they can win and hold the US at bay ... and this time is ever closing in on us all ..


-- doom and gloom stuf sux... so here is some hope ... I learned from history so I am not blind to what's going on over there (I really hope I am wrong!) but we may not get involved at all as we have major economic intrests in China and the all mighty $ will heavily infuence our militarys decision to not to be the world-police onthis matter. For a change big buisness influences will do us good and get the politicians in their pocket to keep us out

If there is a Nuclear attack, no one wins. This world will never be the same. Let's all hope it doesn't happen.

PS. I used to build Nuks for a living. I don't want to see the wrong side of one of them.

ANYBODY uses them and something has gone horribly wrong.

[Christopherrr]

I don't get it...why would they nuke a country that practically supports their textiles? I know we import and export out of China like crazy...why would they jepordize that business relationship?

In the end, it's all whacked...it's all messed up. Before you know it...I'll be on the list of terrorist profiles. Basturds...

As Twilight Zone’s Rod Serling would say, “Imagine if you will”. You are Hitler, and you are born in in China in 1950, and now you are the Emperor of China. You have a huge military, and poor natural resources to take care of all of your 1 billion people. What do you do?

[Joe 1320]

What you guys have to realize is that there are many levels of politics. Everything from the civilian population, though the military ranks all the way up to the nation's leaders. While I am not advocating turning a blind eye, you can't take the political sabre rattling of a military pawn as the entire national position. Heck, if you interviewed half of our military personnel off the record, the comments would give other folks the same impression about us.

My own personal position is one of semi-isolationism. We should keep a little more to ourselves and limit the amount of democracy pushing upon other countries. Let them fight it out amongst themselves. Eventually they will figure it out just as we did. As long as they don't involve us directly, then we should simply sit and watch...... thereby enabling us to concentrate our efforts on strengthening our own economy, stabilizing our social programs and medical technology. Until another country decides to pick a fight with us, we should remain neutral. Switzerland has managed to avoid so much of the world's political upheaval that way. I'm sure there are those that will disagree, but there certainly seems to be a problem when the bulk of the wealth is used to create ways of destroying life rather than preserving it.

One of the reasons for the recent build up of the chines military is because the leaders of that country try to retain power by there relationships with others in influence. The political leaders maintain military suport by promissing the military leaders (who mostly are old and were around when they took over the goverment and never agreed with the decision to stop and not continue into Taiwan) that they will bring Taiwan under chinese control before they retire.

I researched this like a month ago on the net and I think in 3-5 years china will be in a military position to be able to invade Taiwan and over come there defences. The U.S. position is the wild card in this.

What I view in this as bad is there allowed to sit quite and build up there military untill they are comfortable and feel they are in a position to do what they want. While the rest of the world helps them financialy by opening up world trade (unfairly because there money is undervalued and they are allowed to mass produce w/o environmental conditons because of there 3rd world status). Just something to think about the next time you go into Walmart or any store and buy stuff.

Also don't forget.. The Straits of Taiwan are pretty much under the control of Taiwan. It would be in the Chinese navy/PLA interest to take Taiwan. As one Chinese official said several years ago. Is Taiwan really worth LA and San Francisco.

[TimeLord]

UNOCAL !!!!!

San Francisco maybe

China scares the cr@p out of me. They are quickly depleting their natural resources. They are in the process of buying Unocal oil so they can control their own oil destiny. It's only a matter of time before they start looking to the North for more resources. What can Russia do to stop 100,000,000 Chinese marching onto Moscow??? If you think the Germans were seeking world domination, you aint seen nothing yet. The Chinese population is currently 1.3 BILLION!!! The military is believed to be 342 million strong, with 13 million being added each year. The labor force is estimated to be 700 million.

Scary numbers folks...espicially considering that China is a nuclear power just like us.

For comparison sake, the US population is less than 300 million. Our military force is only 67 million. Our labor force is believed to be 147 million.

If I were benchtop racing, I would not want to challenge China...

The entire population of the United States is less than the military of China...scary!!!
