#1 Iff the twin-fists or natural forces of capitalism + modernization doesn't cause the Chicoms and their Stalinist bureaucracies to implode, then China's only other recourse is State expansion by any means necessary, espec by military force. Thats what happens when power-centric pols and 'crats make too make promises knowing there isn't enough $$$ in the universe to cover their hyper-correct lying arses.

#2 Oil is $70 BBL now. China's problems will all come to head when we deal with the Iranian problem & fighting disrupts tanker trafic in the straits. Maybe even precipitates a Chinese civil war. No wonder China wants to stonewall the US in the UN.
We take out Iran, China falls en passant.

#3 See my comments in the other related article. China is about to undergo the Largest Medically Caused AIDS Epidemic, not to mention a rasher of other woes. Couldn't happen to a nicer buncha sh!ts.

It is vital to continue the embargo of advanced arms technology until China finally collapses. Giving them any leverage only spells expansionist disaster.

#5 RWV - great analogy considering Japan in 80's. The other concern is the disparity between city versus rural ChiComs.
