That's the reason some schools of thinking don't rule out a destruction of the Chinese military potential before the situation grows worse than it is today. It's bad enough now.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We see China becoming an unstoppable force. It's a huge threat and a huge opportunity.
I believe that if you treat China as an enemy, then it is likely to become one.
We must clearly see that international hostile forces are intensifying the strategic plot of Westernizing and dividing China, and ideological and cultural fields are the focal areas of their long-term infiltration.
Assuming China does not become destabilized and continues to grow, it will no doubt develop a military program in proportion to its resources.
If the Chinese will not learn the true principles of government, all else will be useless. Knowledge is power, and although a country may be weak, still, if it possess but a modicum of knowledge, the enemy will not be able to completely overthrow it; although that country may be in danger, the race will not be extirpated.
If you want to treat China as an enemy, you have a much better chance of making them an enemy than if you treat them as a potential friend.
I visited the Chinese side last year. The Chinese are in a constant state of military readiness. They have all their nuclear weapons in the area, presumably trained on targets across the border.
The Chinese are good at repression and can be pretty ruthless about it.
The United States is afraid of China; it is not a military threat to anyone and is the least aggressive of all the major military powers.
Nothing and no one can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors.
