As a Chinese, I would like to say we don't like wars as the USA government indicates. We are in different culture. Not like the maritime civilization, the agricultural civilization is much more peaceful. We consider about working harder to become richer and stronger instead of invading other country.

@LQSW1 From the 50s to 80s it has always been about USSR. Vietnam and Cuba were just proxy hot zones. Japan had the ability to surpass US economically, but they didn't because after all Japan is still diplomatically friendly to the US and they had no ambition to set up a world empire after their disaster in WWII. Afghanistan and Iraq can only fight an insurgency war. Only China, out of all America's threats, has the military, technological, economic and diplomatic powers to challenge US directly

@brainsmoothy ...yes, TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION. Its often right on the money. China hold a lot of Bonds, and the only "enemy" is the bill being due after that "financial crisis" which was a scam anyway...thats why they need wars and to eventually re-colonize Africa for their resources via Africom. Thats why Obama was brought in. a lot of this fear mongering is being used in advance of a pre-planned re-alignment of the Middle East that will include Pakistan and China eventually, anyway
