  1. It depends. It's all about your point of view. China respects the US, but at the same time, they also have new ambitions, and at the same time as basing their military off of the US's successful might, they also have one main country in their sights. Taiwan. It's all they want in life is to bring that little island under Communist rule, which is fine, it's their people, technically, but Taiwan and it's economy wouldn't exist if the US didn't prevent them from being slaughtered with the rest of their ancestors and culture. Happened to be one of the good things the US did through out it's history. So in that respect, it only makes sense to remain that commitment to protecting them. That's why China is building its military. It knows in order to regain that island, it must fight the US, or take the island quick enough to prevent the US to respond, thus making a counter offensive pointless.

  2. Sbuko2002 Nkosi I'm sure we will... If we can stay out of WWIII, both will keep advancing, but right now the only match to the US military is Russia. China is eagerly trying to surpass Russia in attempt to be the main Super power challenging the US. So both will keep on advancing, but we will see China advancing the fastest. They don't have much regards for doing things meticulously.

  3. ARVIN Good question. Firstly, it's good to know ever State has the right to their own defense. Just like they have the right to rule however they want to on their own estate, unless of course they're invaded themselves and taken over. Take China for example, they're powerful enough and economically connected to pretty much the entire world, that an invasion would end up doing more harm than good. Now take North Korea for example, my favorite example. Everyone thinks it's easy to topple such a tyrannical dictator right? Well, maybe not. Did you know that North Korea has so much Artillery, that the second they feel they're being invaded, they can fire 189 rockets per second. PER SECOND. That's 11,340 rounds per minute, or 680,400 rounds per hour landing on Seoul, the Capital city of South Korea, where MILLIONS of civilians are just enjoying their lives, not to mention tourists from all over the world. So is it worth just rushing in and invading countries just because we think they aren't following rules of how all of humanity should live? No, that's mental, and you're selfish for thinking that way. Not all Americans are stupid. (PS, notice how i only mentioned Artillery, and not the rest of North Korea's assets, which is probably the largest standing military on the planet. Gives you chills doesn't it) Lastly, this all proves my newly found theory, that it's easier to deal with other countries when one another aren't at war, or on the brink of war.It's easier to negotiate peace, during peace. But if you must fight, you better fight well. This is how i feel. the US isn't necessarily getting in China's face. It's just that China has started building islands, and claiming them to be historical claims, when about 5 other countries have historical islands in those same waters, and yet they don't have a say in it only because their Militaries aren't as big as China's. That's why the US is stepping in, peacefully i might add, in order to keep China in check until the other countries can bolster up enough of their own resources to defend themselves, if need be, or to lay claim to their own territory in the region. Otherwise China would have it there way, and that entire sea would have a chain link military shield that China can project it's entire military from. Now i'm not saying China's intentions are sour. But one thing's for damned sure. Capitalism, and Communism, don't mix.

  4. Sbuko2002 Nkosi Sort of. The US has a non-negotiable pact with Taiwan, that if Taiwan is attacked, the US has no choice but to defend them, even if it means drafting so that there's enough manpower. Though, the only way this pact can be altered is if the US Leadership does so themselves, otherwise external nations and organizations have no say in the matter.This is good and bad. It means no one is going to attack Taiwan, yet. Though it's bad because when they eventually do, it means that the US can either hold true to its word, or change it's mind and let China have Taiwan. In the end however, millions of people currently living under a democratic system, oddly enough better than the US's Democratic system, are at risk. This is never a good position to be in, because it means after a conflict, people will be forced to live a completely different life style. Right now in Taiwan, people can pretty much speak their minds. Under PRC rule, there would be loyalty to the Communist Party, or otherwise you're better off fleeing to another country or you might end up jailed, or worse, in "re-education". As for the UN... I wouldn't count on them doing anything. The UN is weak, and incapable of enforcing any such rules, hence why China is already putting military bases all over the SCS within the Nine-Dash-Line. But the US right now isn't really interested in getting involved militarily. The only reason they put armed ships through is because if they were to sail an un-armed ship, China would get brave and capture it, along with all of it's crew. They don't want that. So they make sure it's military so that any such attempt at capturing the ship in international waters would literally be an act of war.

  5. Sbuko2002 Nkosi Well, a war between China and the US would effect the entire world. Even Xi Shinping said so himself. China and the US are the world biggest Economies, and for these two nations to engage in a economic crippling conflict would throw the world into turmoil, not to mention it would drag other countries into the fight to, leading to a global conflict as nations like India, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, so on and so fourth. It's something no one wants.
