Note thisNot-That-Bright said:Truth is, military confrontation with US, China loses.
It's that simple.
America has alot of power in the gulf, below china and in japan...
UNLESS china doesn't hurt or threaten america, in that case the american public will probably hate the president too much and it just won't work out..

Is this racial arrogance? I think so..
Asians, more specifically chinese, seem to be overly proud of China and have an exaggerated view of its power.
No, i don't think the US would dominate china in a war. I don't think either country would have much of an upper hand, but if it got too serious and nukes got involved china just isn't up there with the US in that department.
"Chinese people are incredibly resilient"... and the people of the western world are weak? Do you remember ww2? The japanese were willing to die for their country, and were so ashamed at their loss that they killed themselves.
edit: but let me point out.. i don't think america would go to war against china over taiwan, but it would go to war against china if china attacks the american forces protecting taiwan.
Do u have any idea about the military, Australia has one of the best training programs for soldiers in the world, but our forces are relatively small and not as well equiped as the US, however there is talk about the Aussies getting M4's like the US hasItalian Hotshot said:I hate the way the US is currently acting to China ... Rice said tonight that America was 'concerned' with the growth in the power of China and were afraid that they would "head down the wrong path."
Hypocritical fuckers. They are simply trying to instigate China into a less dominant Foreign Policy - ATTACK AT WILL CHINA! Australia would struggle to invade New Zealand or Tonga, let alone have an impact in the US v. China battle.

This is a war that neither would like, but if push came to shove america would win... unless China has more icbm's than we know about?
