They'd be stupid not to plan all manner of military strategies. Planning does not mean they're actually going to do it. |

Not quite sure what to make of this yet, and I'm at work, so I haven't had too much time to check out the course. |

I agree with cmind and you really got to make that distinction. If you ask me, is china making plans to do it? I would say yes, that seems like a very possible and perhaps likely thing. If you ask me, do they expect to carry it out? I would say it is probably very unlikely. |

Chinese hackers (claiming not affiliated with the govt) are already engaged in a cyber espionage war with the West. Furthermore, they have a crisis of way too many men vs women. They've also got an energy crisis and are still wading through a food crisis. This inbalance of men and women combined with poverty is the reason the Danes started viking Europe. All I'm saying is all the elements are there. |

No. Maybe FOXNews does. |

This huge story seems to be almost entirely absent from the internet, and the first article I can find about it is the WWN thing. Everything else I've seen is blogs and loonies (e.g. Fox) repeating various details. |
|
That's what I'm seeing, so far, too. And believe me, I wouldn't defend FOXNews for shit, but they are pretty mainstream for something like this, if there is no backing to it whatsoever. I mean, it's not like it would be the first time they've lied about anything, but you have to wonder about whether or not FOX is being alarmist (as they often do), or if other media outlets are refraining from posting such an uncorroborated story (which they sometimes do, and for good reason). I checked around for it on other sites like Reuters and BBC, but saw nothing. |

Obviously not. |

Sounds like something from Fox News instead of a legitimate news org. China is our ally and is very dependent on the US for their economy. |
|
While it is technically true that the US and Chinese economies have become so mutually dependent disaster for one spells disaster for the other (especially if it's our disaster, they're much more dependent on us then us on them, we can find people to make cheap shit) you also have to realize China is in a trickier and trickier position every day. Looking at the situation realistically, they wouldn't want to do anything to the US that hurts them but that doesn't mean they'd see anything particularly damaging about claiming assets in return for debt payment. Are we gonna give those assets away? Our government is but are the people going to take that shit when chinese military come in to protect their new investments? |

The Japanese thought of invading us once... |

I get my truth from FMA too. |

I'm like Glenn Beck. I don't know for certain if china plans to invade the US with missiles or refugees or anything. I just make all the evidence seem that way >=D |

Japan never really intented to invade the US. They just thought they would destory all of our ships then since we would be at a huge disadvantage we would make peace, and they could go about their business invading countries near them without us bothering them. |

Everyone is just going to assume that China is dependant on the U.S. until the bombs start going off. The U.S. is nothing more than a stepping stone for China. They used us as consumers so that they could develop their industry and middle class. Now that they have all the factories and their middle class is starting to take root, eventually they will be able to produce goods for their own population and will not need American consumers anymore. We are now more dependent on them, because we have almost no producers of consumer goods left in this country. If we stop buying from china, they will still be able to sell their goods. If they stop selling to us, we are fucked. |

It would probably be a good idea to move out before you get nuked then. |

For China to attack the US would be like the banker who I owe $10,000 to coming to my house and shooting me. |
|
The truth would be closer to your analogy if you were also a lawmaker and you made a credible threat to the banker that if he ever tries to collect on the debt, you'll pass a law that would allow you to pay him back in monopoly money. |
