    China vs USA WW3

    “Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed” Mao Tse-Tung


    The US has overextended itself across the globe. It can’t sustain its reach indefinitely. Through its hard-ball foreign policy it has made enemy after enemy. The US is in a position now that they can’t pull back, they have to keep on acquiring more and more “land” to sustain themselves, much like the Roman Empire, who grew richer and more powerful only by conquering more and more territories. Like the Roman Empire, sustaining control over such a large area becomes more and more difficult. The military forces cannot defend their interests everywhere at the same time.

    Whilst the US is playing hard-ball foreign policy, China is playing soft-ball foreign policy. America goes into a country and says: “Do as we say or we will fuck you up”. China on the other hand goes in and negotiates terms in a much more subtle and diplomatic fashion.

    China is eating up Africa and the world in large chunks, they are also making huge land claims in the south China sea. They are ahead of America in the rate and sustainability of acquiring global partners. One could even say that China pushed the US out of sub-Saharan Africa except for Nigeria and one or two others. America hit back with acquiring much of North Africa (Tunisia, Libya, Egypt).

    China is winning the “financial war”, they are getting richer whilst the US is bleeding money. The US owes China so much that they pussy foot around them, allowing China to do pretty much as it pleases.

    Militarily China is far behind, they lack in both conventional and nuclear armament, but they are playing catch-up fast.

    So here is the big question: Will the US simply fade away until China naturally steps in as the new boss? Or will the US wage war against China to prevent their eventual fall from power?

    If the US had to wage war against China’s global interests, China will withhold its credit line...so that’s a no no for now. If the US had to attack China directly there would be a global financial collapse. Something the US can ill afford. However, given that China will eventually take over if nothing is done, I see no other option. The US will have to take action at some point if they wish to remain the no 1 superpower. Also consider that if China is not stopped and they become stronger than the US militarily, they will certainly use their muscle to further suppress their natural enemy.

    I see no other alternative. I believe the US will at some point in my lifetime wage war against China’s global interests and then wage war against China directly. History has never seen 2 superpowers exist peacefully side by side and it never will.

    US may have overextended. But it has bases there and support etc...

    The problem is China essentially claimed overstepped itself on every country it borders and to some extent even those it does not.

    It claimed parts of the Phillipines, areas close to Malaysia, and overlapping areas elsewhere.
    Vietnam(60s-80s), Russia(60s), Korea(mountain), all have had incursions in the past or present claims.
    China essentially claimed sea zones hundreds of miles away from itself which are far closer to countries that actually operate within them.

    Operationally in Asia, China lost the coalition prerogative it upset every neighbor effectively by trying to leverage its' size which turned USA into a guarantor, "see what happens when we leave" almost.

    Before WW2 Japan had some money in US obligations, they were frozen and cancelled. What you think of as a credit line is a debt, if hostilities break out the US has no obligation to pay it back it becomes null and void. It is not a default it is an abrogation because the circumstances dictate it.
    {default implies you didn't pay what you obligated to}
    China would be harmed far more if hostilities happened because it could loose access to not just the US market but Europe since the latter could simply do so for 'humanitarian' reasons, and to protect its market.

      Obviously if war broke out the US wont need to pay them back.

      So what do you think then? Will the US act against China militarily or will they do nothing?

        China is taking back the world from MacDonald's and Coca Cola. America is simply too pre-occupied to realize this. Before long there will be a ChingLing Burgers in each and every city in the world and each and every person will be driving a GWM pickup. We are all already totally dependent on Chinese manufacturing. If China were to pull the plug on the production of US products then the US will sink like a stone. It is going to happen, do you think the Chinese are manufacturing anything and everything simply because they've got nothing better to do, do you think that they are moving the world's manufacturing over to themselves for no reason, think again. They are not only making the US wholly dependent on them, they are making the entire world dependent on them.

          But they are not making themselves into a world bread basket. the US has that pretty sewn up.
          Bow too low to China and starve, who do you think the rest of the world will listen to in the end, the country with the 'Gew Gaws' and trinkets or the country with the bread and rice?

            They don't need to make themselves the worlds bread basket, they are like ants, they move into other lands and live off they baskets!

              Is a manufacturer dependant on its customers, or the customers dependant on the manufacturer?

                Logically, manufacturers are dependant on customers, however by changing the rules, it can revert.
                This is what China is good at, they come in, make cheap stuff, and over a short period of time disrupt the local manufacturing, so that the good local manufacturers go out of business due to no sales. The situation now arises that the customers become dependant on the Chinese manufacturers, as there is no other manufacturer to compete.

                  Very true, China is currently wholly dependant on the US its their biggest market. Economically China has more to lose by not trading with the US than the US. But its a big world China could in all probability replace its income from US (+Europe) trade by trading with the rest of the world, which they are, at an ever increasing rate. At some point they could, for the sake of global dominance, forgo all trade with the US to wage war.

                  I said before that there will be war between the two nations, first there will be a war against each other’s interests through their “pawn” states, proxy wars. I then said that eventually they will wage war against each other directly. However I am starting to doubt that they will ever do this, given the fact that this will insure mutual nuclear destruction.

                  My conclusion is then that there will be many proxy wars between the two nations. Fighting against each other but not directly. Similar to the cold war but with perhaps more intensity. In some respects this is already going on, Syria, Egypt, Libya.
                  I then foresee a similar political situation as the cold war between the USSR and the US. Where a war of nutrition would be fought, by-proxy as it were. Where in the end one nation will collapse and one will be the victor. When the USSR knew they were losing the cold war they still did not use their nuclear armament, they knew it would mean mutual destruction. I think that the US and China will also not use their nuclear weapons against each other even when one of them knows that it will lose the cold war.

                  So there will be a war, a Cold War

                    But seriously folks, any big battle would, as has been mentioned, result in nuclear obliteration for all/most life on the planet. Here's a different take on the Chinese-American situation.

                    The US Empire is not the Money Power.
                    China's rise and opposition to the US fits the familiar pattern:
                    the Money Power's proxies working towards managed conflict and World Government.

                    To many it is unclear whether China is incorporated in the New World Order or a real competitor to Anglo-American Imperialism.

                    There is little doubt that the Money Power co-opted the leadership of the Land of the Dragon a long time ago. History shows that the Money Power has several tools to motivate peoples in the right direction.

                    Their fingerprints are all over China.

                    In his excellent analysis of the power brokers in China, St. John Bartholomew reminds us that Marxism is a Money Power operation and that Mao did their bidding. Mao was apparently educated at Yale's department in China. Yale's Skull and Bones were very active in Asia and Mao was probably a member.

                    Most American diplomats sent to him were so too.

                    According to Bartholomew, the triads, China's mafia-style secret societies, were built up by Masons to combat the Qing dynasty that ruled China until the 19th century and resisted the Opium the British needed to sell to China because they had nothing else to exchange for its vast riches.

                    The membership list of the Trilateral Commission, the Rockefeller confab similar to the Atlantic Bilderbergers, is littered with Chinese names.

                    China's rise and opposition to the US fits the familiar pattern: the Money Power's proxies working towards managed conflict and World Government.

                      @Trickzta – in my humble opinion...

                      Write your own opinion (In your own words). Copy and paste only to support or stand against an argument. Your copy paste style is nothing more than shot gun argumentation. If this was what debate was about then I am afraid that a few Canons will render your argument null and void.

                      In other words this is a debate not a literature exposition. You are not standing on the shoulders of giants, you are standing back quoting people who may or may not be giants.

                        The Chinese Government officially owns the money supply. It is not entirely clear where the interest goes.
                        Interest was created by the west as a means to make the people slaves to the Lords of money.
                        Why should there be any interest on money?
                        If you want more money from your money, then invest it in stock to sell or in a business to create an income.

                        Chinese business men are not like the west who borrow money to create a business, they work on a cash based society. You got cash, you open a business, if you have no cash, you do not go to a bank and borrow money to open a business.

                        This simple process is the reason that China is financially strong, and do not owe any money to no one, they simply do not borrow money. The west is in trouble because of this mindset of borrowing, and postponing the repayment to a future date. At some time it is going to catch you up, and this is what we have witnessed the last few years in the financial markets melt down. Every one owes some one with a promise of repayment in the future with an interest to have made the possibility of the loan a reality.

                        The businesses that survive the lean times work on cash, and not credit. The moment you run on credit and allow credit, you are going to be in trouble in the future, when one client goes south, the whole chain goes with.

                        Using gold as a basis to guarantee your paper money s the right thing to do. Right now the west has forfeited the gold as the guarantee of the paper money, and this is the reason that they are printing money, because it now has no guarantee or value, except in peoples minds. This reason alone causes what we call inflation, they have to some how try and reduce it's value, in order to create the impression that you are able to repay the loans made including the interest. This has been happening in our very lifetime. Think back on what you could buy with R1.00 30 years ago, and what value it has today.
                        The Chinese do not live on credit as the west does.

                          If it was not for Philip and his Son a unified influential Greek state would not exist and the Western paradigm would not exist. I just hope we don’t piss it all away now

                          I would much rather complain about America being the boss than them being the boss.....any day all day long

                            China is in a far worse place inflation/bubble price wise than US. Far worse multiple wise.

                            Food, Energy, Raw Material dependency is higher.

                            Population size is only good if you can effectively deploy it and it does not hinder your internal survival when autarky(economic) is imposed.

                            China is over estimating its' ability. On paper its a thundering behemoth, in life the quality control you get in its' nails does flow through to the turbine jet blades of the copied planes it has.
                            [long story short their jet engine blades crack which means the engine can go dead in air and the plane becomes a flying anvil]


                            Has there actually been testing of its missiles? that was independently confirmed like it is usually with Russia?

                              China and America won't go to war against each other in a hurry.
