| Cabal, I know the United States and China have not been fighting for centuries, I was merely stating that everyone on these forums talks about war between the US and China as inevitable and acts like the two nations have been going at each other's throats for years. Now you told me why China and the United States ended their years of harsh diplomacy with on another, but you did not say anything about why the United States and China seem to be drifting apart.
Gator, the United States still spends over ten times as much on our military annualy as compared to China (we also spend more than the 2-15th ranked nations based on annual military expenditures). China's military will be relatively impotent outside of China. Their main longterm goal is re-unification with Taiwan, they don't even have that capability at this time.
