U.S. alarmed by harsh tone of China's military

[JW Frogen]

Well here is a corrective tone for the Chinese, "shut your won tons or we will default on our debt and then you can go back to chasing sparrows for a living."

Some times if you are a big enough debtor, you have the power.

Hasn't TARP taught us anything at all?

 

[R.C. Christian]

The Chinese simply can't dump U.S. treasury bonds, although I wish they would. The idea is absurd. A limited nuclear exchange would be more useful than that exercise in futility at least from a world population point of view.

 

[Two Thumbs]

If the U.S. succeeds in controling central asia, 80% of the world's population and most of it's natural resources then the commie heathen scum in China will no longer be a problem. And that is the end goal of what the U.S. is trying to accomplish in Iraq, Afghanistan, now Pakistan and eventually Iran, Yemen, maybe even Syria. Mass extermination of those who don't "get it" and control under the illusion of democracy = defacto ownership of China and it's lackey Putin. Undisputed world wide dominance by the U.S. and the U.K.

Don't blame me I'm just the messenger.

And I can tell you are not a paranoid conspriacy nut either.

B/c everyone knows democracy running the world would just suck, since communism is so much better.

Why do we need the UK to win?

Is China in danger of being invaded by Taiwan?

No, not even close. It would be like Maine attacking the US for independence.
The most the Tias (?) Tiawonese (?) could do is play defense. It's hard to invade and conquer when fighting on anothers home turf.

Exactly..Taiwan is no threat to China

China has always been a threat to Taiwan

Just a quick observation:

As of 31 December 2007, the Taiwan Stock Exchange had 703 listed companies with a combined market capitalization of $664 billion.
China's central bank foreign currency reserves were stated to be $2.4 trillion at the end of December 2009.

So for an expenditure equal to only 25% of its currency reserves, China could essentially purchase the most significant components of the Taiwanese economy, and achieve
de facto reunification of Taiwan with mainland China.

Buy it, evict everyone, flip it.

Damn.

That would be very Capitalist of them...Hostile takeover
