That gave me a queasy feeling. My folks being from Taiwan, I'm honestly a bit nervous that my family and I will not be differentiated from the mainlanders if they decide to be as crazy as they talk.

[Guest Scramasax]

Shades of Buck Rogers! China ruling the world.

NOTE: The original comic strip, not movies or TV.

They need to check the batteries in their abacus. WWIII ended on Christmas Day, 1991. WWIV began on 9/11.

They may whoop us but I'll expose the red on my neck when I say, "Come get some anytime you're ready for it!"

Our abilty to repay would be greatly hampered by a war with china, but not so much with our ability to defend this country.

They are not gonna pick a fight with us.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I doubt it, also.

[Fourtyfive]

Time to order more ammo .....

[enfield]

Bring it!

[JPR1959]

Any country that would invade our country should remember our nuclear fleet of submarines. There isn't a navy afloat that can reliably detect our subs, and our enemies should remember that. If China invades, they'll lose.

Hopefully that would not be the case. And if a certain faction were to see it thataway then hopefully you will get backup from more enlightened neighbors.

I'm so unsophisticated, can't look at a person and guess that their ancestors came from China, rather than Tiawan, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, or Singapore. Or even polynesia in some cases. I can't even judge by appearance whether a person harks from India rather than Pakistan. "Middle-eastern heritage" Jews look awfully similar to Palestinians, Syrians, or Lebanese as far as I can tell.

Will further hazard a guess that a typical asian wouldn't have a clue looking at a european heritage feller whether he comes from Swedish, Russian or English stock.

Appearance doesn't matter much really. Proper USA acculturation might matter more than anything else, in having good relationship and support of neighbors? Except for chance encounters with ignorant jerks who might not even make polite conversation before going midieval?

Second- or later generation asian folk I've known are just so plainly "american" that it is difficult to see em having much trouble except from the most ignorant individuals. Though I'm so unsophisticated will worry I might give offense saying the wrong thing out of ignorance. An old korean american college bud, he was a football-playing, burger eating party animal just like everybody else. If somebody was gonna pick on him for being a "ferriner" they would have had to do so without ever striking up a conversation first.

Just rambling as usual. After the invasion of Iraq, some parts of the world, even Europe, copped a bad attitude toward americans. Many americans would pretend to be canadians abroad, and without access to a passport how would a belligerant Frenchman know any different?

Just sayin, if things get bad, and you run into ignorant SOB's, tell em yer Japanese or Korean and they will probably be too dumb to know the difference. Just like me!

folks are usually good people. it's policies that i worry about. i had my eyes really opened by the Ken Burns The War segment on Daniel Inouye who was interned and actually collected while he was volunteering with the Red Cross helping the wounded.

what makes it worse is that Taiwan isnt actually recognized by this administration as being autonomous from China (actually, it hasnt been recognized since 1979) nor is it recognized in the UN (it doesnt even have Observer status).

China is just flexing its muscles in regards to the developing world. They want more countries to look to them as trade/military partners instead of to the U.S.A. They have that with Iran and are getting it with Pakistan. They want it with more African nations that have oil and mineral deposits. They would love to have Afghanistan. There are some untapped deposits of lithium in that place that will make some people very rich. They just want access to natural resources. They prefer trading for it, but I wouldn't put it past them to go take them if push comes to shove.They'll eventually want Siberia.

It's like they knew what you were going to say before you did. I especially liked one of the other headlines ‘Buy a Gun’ & ‘Keep Your Powder Dry’

This is about economics, not war. China isn’t going to go to war with us, and if they do you won’t need any ammunition, and they can “hunt†all the submarines they want. Neither side would “win†in a war. “Mutually Assured Destructionâ€; everyone loses.

China wants us to stay prosperous enough to buy their products. They are manufacturing at a crazy rate and their standard of living reflects that. Do to our own greed their economy will flourish while ours declines. Future generations will be left to fix what we have done.
