Donot related US history to other country's history, totally different stories. Founders of USA were great and that does not mean "founding any country" equals great.

3rd Division....
As for the Chinese taking Korea or having the advanced weapons, that is fine, but if it was not for the US consumer economy, there would not be any money in China. Pull out the companies supplying the West and there isn't anything left. There is not enough infastructure within China to support the economy plus the lack of consumerism creats a vacuum without the West. All this coming from an American that is married to a Chinese Immigrant.
Exactly the point I was making as well. If China provoked a closure of US and European markets, they would collapse their fledgelng economy. I don't think they are ready for that kind of outcome, hardline Communist Party members or not. Even the hardliners should know better. I doubt they'll be stupid enough to make such a move until they feel that they have surpassed the West and that's a long ways off ATM.Lil Hulk 1988 said:As for the Chinese taking Korea or having the advanced weapons, that is fine, but if it was not for the US consumer economy, there would not be any money in China.

China, with luck, will have a hard time taking the Island, so militarilly, we could move our Fleets from japan over there. Politically though, I doubt anyone will oppose China, that is unless we had a man like Bush In office.
So China's all caught up now? Wow, that was quick. Last I checked, China was still about 10-15 years behind every other developed country in technology and industrial development. The standard of living in China ranks lower than many third world countries. The US and Japan still have greater economic output even though both have only a tiny fraction of China's population.3. Taiwan is taken, USA sactions come, then China collapse? Give me a break to laugh, China was blocked after Korea War by almost ALL Western, so what? China still OK, nobody will die from hunger, and the Communist leaders still drive in Big Cars and live in Villa's, they don't give a dammn sh*t about sanction.
Give peace a chance, don't push too hard, before it is TOO late
