Skip - Ever hear of China? It is a country 1 billion strong and growing. WHile they are not the military threat that the USSR was, they are more volatile than any superpower in the last 200 years. No one knows what they will do next.
I suggest reading The China Threat by Bill Gertz. Even the left has stated that not only is Bill a good read, but well informed and put together in a format that is easily understood.
Here are some quick quotes from the book
[QUOTE]China must pay close attention to those countries that are opposed to American interests. It must be borne in mind that the enemies of enemies are one's own allies[/QUOTE]
Chinese Newspaper Journalist He Xing
[QUOTE]Some strategic targets cannot be reached at this time, but in 10 years it will be an era in which strategic nuclear weapons will enjoy rising technology levels and those targets may be reached[/QUOTE]
Huan Xiang, National Security Advisor for the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army
[QUOTE]Use reality, make a noise in the east, but strike in the west. Cut time and strike in multiple waves. That is the key to reabsorbing Tawain.[/QUOTE]
Colonel Wang Benzhi of the Chinese PLA
People also argued that the friends of WWII would never be our enemies and that the USSR should be a trusted friend.
