#1 The long and short of it is, China can't produce fighters and ships that can run as long as the US, and can't keep up the tempo the US can, and can't compete with the performance.

Be assured that the incoming Donk House will do their best to make it more 'fair' by the same methodology of making funds scarce.

#2 Oh yeah, war! Because that worked out so well for us in Iraq.

Why are we in conflict with China? Because we're assholes. Imagine a foreign power who insisted America must not be the dominant power in the Gulf of Mexico. Would we say that's bullshit?

#3 Or perhaps China is fully intent on blocking sea trade in the South Sea. Or bully all its neighbors so it can get all the goods in their waters. Or steal all the tech and IP it can get. Or rob countries of their wealth in Africa and Asia.

#4 Why are we in conflict with China? Because we're assholes.

#5 Why are we in conflict with China? Because we're Because we are not chicom imperialist assholes. And we don't want to take over all of Asia.

Taiwan? A sovereign nation that has never completely destroyed other countries like Cuba in South America, Africa.

#6 Would be ironic if China sold its super-duper-sonic anti-carrier missiles to a third party and had them whizzing back into their carriers?
