I see no way this could ever backfire!

Where do you think we get the parts to put into our missles, tanks and planes comes from? I saw a documentry "Death by China" it says that 95% of all of the avionics (Flate panel displays, flight sensors and computers) come from China.

If we went to war with them directly do you think they would continue to allow the export of parts to companies like lockheed martin and Boeing? We may do the final assembly of the planes here, but where do you think the parts for our over priced places comes from? How will we maintain our advantages if we can not service our equipment?

Mmmhhhmmmmm those effects would be interesting to say the least. In China you would have huge lay offs, while in the us you would a massive remobilization. With a huge Hick up in production and possibly price.

which would force their hand in other areas.

China is buying up huge tracts of land in Africa along side the nile and using it to grow their crops/rice. If their economy faulters, they still need that food/land, and the water the nile provides. alot of the countries who depend on the nile for water are already mad at china for diverting so much of the water of the nile onto crops that do not benfit that region at all. If China can not buy what it needs they are big enough now to simply take it. They are now the only true world power. When a country monoplizes manufacturing it controls the modern world. Allowing it to simply do as it pleases. All it need do is simply make it's wants a 'moral mandate' and the people of the largest nation and most powerful nation in the world will follow their popular morality where ever their goverment leads them.
Kinda reminds me of revaltion, and how it speak of this massive army of the 'east.' The nile drying up ect..
