China’s 21st Century War to Destroy the U.S. | We Are Losing!

Perhaps but I think it's more about the very intertwined balance of power between China and the U.S.

IF this U.S. Consumer continues to suffer and a true depression ensues ... China will fail.

If China's economic engine fails - social unrest WILL spread.  China's one Joker is the ugly ambitions of Nationalism. With Economic Mutually Assured Destruction (of China dumping U.S. T-Bonds = death of U.S. = death of China's revenue stream) out of the picture ... the next option is to revert to distrust and, therefore, conflict.

The U.S. homeland does not have the stomach for a society crippled by cyber warefare! No power, no water, no communications ... = pure anarchy.  It is suggested China could very well unleash such a Hell.  The response from the U.S.? Utter Nuclear Destruction.

Not a pretty prospect.

Russia? a technological backwater. India? A service industry enpowered by a greedy and short-term viewed U.S. corporate stinkpot of stupidity through outsourcing.

Sorry mate to be brutal. Just my ugly two cents +/- right or wrong perspective.

Ironically, the US often creates the very threats it fears by its build-up of military defences around the "enemy". In fact, it has built up the alliances of countries that surround China, and given them huge defence support, thus forcing China to be on the defensive. It has done this for years. 

"If you see demons everywhere, maybe its your own reflection"!

"The Chinese are building whole military divisions for the sole purpose of cyber-warfare. The ability to target the vast U.S. industrial infrastructure, communications, power stations, water purification plants, hospitals and civil government. To deny its enemy - the U.S. - with the ability to sustain day to day operations, yet alone the will to fight a 'conventional' (or nuclear?) war."

The total principle has been on the drawing board for some time. Cyber warfare is only the lead up as like soften the targets before sending in the armor and troops. 

The next step is to knock out the enemies electronics with specially designed missiles that carry an electronic device to neutralize the enemies electronics including even civilian power generators and house hold electrical appliances. This just leave conventional military forces to attend with by using temporary bio and chemical s delivered by missiles.   

Nukes are out of fashion we are looking at Science fiction becoming a reality. But of course China is annoyed because of being placed into check mate that as stopped or slowed down development of its manufacturing infrastructure. China oil and gas plans piping fuel directly from the middle east and from the Baltic was stopped by the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Then now the pre-planned financial meltdown and hype has slowed down the cash flow to China.

Don't worry they are not going to war just flexing another muscle because they have been placed into check. Also I would say that much of that US 3.5 trillion was backed by $US securities in Overseas banks in Europe and the middle east.

Lets all blame Gordon Brown for the nifty plan that's given USA a decade or two more before a fresh attempt is taken to seize world financial power. China is in grief. 

Obama is master of the universe for a while at least. And now yours and my bank account is an open book to big brother. The multi-corperates have been stabbed in the back by their own political puppets and now have to come clean with tax accessments and all electronic transaction to off shore banks are open to government auditors.

Russian scholar says US will collapse — next year

Interesting article. The Chinese government just recently released their own figure for expansions in mllitary spending. Their claim is that the defence budget will only increase by 14.9%, and that most of the extra money will go to salary increases for enlisted soldiers (link is to my own website):

While I feel that widespread military and industrial espionage is a major source of concern, I don't think the United States - or the West in general, should be too concerned about China's rapid ascent in power. We live in a completely different world now, and national glory by means of rapacious conquest or expansion is no longer possible. Globalization and expanded trade links have made it a self-defeating proposition for major powers to attack each other, since this harms their own economic interests.

This was the whole point of the E.U. - to stop the incessant bickering and belligerence between European nation-states by forming a single economic block and inducing them to trade with each other, thus bringing about peace and stability. It was also an observation made by early Chinese philosophers prior to the unification of the country under a single empire - you don't fight against people who buy your own products.

I think another factor you don't mention is, although our budget is significantly higher you fail to realize that we pay ALOT more per soldier than other countries. A pay of 25000 a soldier doesn;t seem alot, however compared to our chinese counterpart its probably much higher, in the ballpark of 5 times higher. We need a NATO force to combat the chinese and Russian cyber warfare units. We've seen Russia's ability to strike in Georgia and other ex Soviet bloc countries through cyber attacks.

Heads up guys - The united states only accounts for 5% of China's GDP.  They can live without us, and We can just as well live without their shitty products, shitty quality, and watered down Chinese culture.  The United States should launch its own cyber pranks against the peoples republic of egg foo yung ching chang chung.  Maybe they are just mad that their women like big american "wangs" if you know what I mean...
