Try googling amd searching through all the news for the last 5-10 years. No one's going to waste time proving a realty that even China supporters freely admit.
If China didn't continue to protect North Korea amd condone their attacks on South Korea the need wouldn't exist. China made their bed so they have to sleep in it.

Well I guess if one is in denial about China's military buidup and aggressive posturing towards it's Asian neighbors then there really isn't much that such a person can add to this thread considering the title and content of the above article.

That may be true, as well as that they simply need a place to invest all that money. Entities, be they individuals, corporations, instututions or even nations don't invest with "global stability" as a priority. Still, because China's economic growth is still export driven they most certaibly should want "global stability". However that does not preclude a territorial expansionist agenda, simply that China, like everyone else, doesn't want a total war.

You seriously missed the point. Nobody is concerned about China's economic success. It's where and how that money is being spent, the extent to which the one party dictatorship has hardened it's authoritarian control over the people instead of moving closer to democracy as had been hoped would be the result of economic improvement, and the arrogant and aggresive posture China is taking towards all of it;s "smaller" neighbors.

Hence, the claim for a "need to protect the sealanes" is simply an excuse for Chinese territorial expansion and and effort to gain an upper hand strategically against the United States and all other Asian nations.

China has become the the economic power that it is today by using the very same sealanes that every other country uses.

Nobody in their right mind would even want to "invade" China. The world is concerned about China "expanding" it's territory and claims. Totally different issue.

I believe that historically no sovereign government has defaulted on it's obligations.

You can't "recall" bonds and T-Bills. You can only sell them. It always find it funny when people think that China holding US debt gives them some sort of special power over the U.S. when we are the ones who can print as many dollars as we want.

I don't recall US troops fighting the Chinese PLA during the Vietnam War. North Vietnam were certainly supported by China(PRC) and USSR but that's hardly the same thing.

"The Chinese have already beaten the US once"
Last I checked the Korean War didn't have a winner and loser. Or are you talking about something else?

"The Chinese military appears insecure and has a bit of an inferiority complex right now. China appears to have the strong perception that they have been bullied in the past and now that they are strong they can finally get their payback,” he said in an e-mail. “Many in China seem very ready to pick fights over perceived slights.”
The scary thing is that if you study the history of Imperial Japan from the mid 1800s onwards you see the same resentment towards the West and Nationalism, that lead up to and didn't end until WWII was over.

It looks like they've decided to corner the market on very crappy non-mainstream Japanese movies. I don't see anything even remotely approacjing a Cannes Film Festival winner in their inventory. Good luck to them.

I'm actually surprised that there is still a market at all for any "answering machine" no matter how slim and small as Cell phones have voice mail and hardwired combination phone/fax units usually have an answering machine built in.

If this S&P rating were accurate we should be back to USD 1.00 = Yen 100.

"His martial arts scenes probably resemble Jackie Chan more than Lee."
This is totally wrong. Chou captured Bruce Lee's "Kato" very well even throwing in the famous one-inch punch. None of Jackie Chan's distinctive stunt action.

The mother of all land wars in Asia? No one wants to invade China. We just want them not to invade others.

No we were very actively supporting Britain against Germany, and China (Chiang Kai Shek/KMT) well before Pearl Harbor. I don't subscribe to any conspiracy theory or one that suggests we entered WWII for economic reasons, but I subscribe even less to the idea that we got "dragged into WWII" without any knowledge, preparation or expectation.

I thought it was a very funny spoof of the old Green Hornet series.
