ai...you got fooled by those people in Pentagon, do you know why they are so 'obsessed" with China these days?
letme explain to you (also you can read the book Pentagon's New Map)
During the Cold War, U.S armed forces could ask for pretty much unlimited funds by just simply playing the Soviet Union card, the Big Red One.
However, when the Big Red One went down, there was suddenly no military power on earth that was even close to U.S' military capability. If there is big enemy, there is certainly no need to put into 400 billion U.S dollar a year into the armed forces.
To keep the money, generals have to find another big sexy superpower as a threat to "bully" the congress into giving the armed force money. THe rising China is a great scapegoat.
If you look at China's record, it always acts in a moderate manner in global stage (not just now, but throughout history too, never really a nut conquering power like Nazi Germany or Japan).
