Chinese Threat , Chest thumping and other unneeded expressions of power.
It seems that we American's never learn. Deeply in debt and with unemployment an unchecked monster that is sucking the very life out of our beloved American dream, we would do well to use caution at this time. There are many ways to add some balance, in a otherwise unabated rise in the financial and military power of China. We helped to build their power, by sending our manufacturing needs to their shores to take advantage of their cheap labor and nonexistent environmental laws. China watched with a trained eye , and saw that as we spent the last two decades trying to force our way of life on much smaller and weaker countries both financially and militarily that we lacked any resolve and came away with draws at best in every conflict. Now China is expanding at an ever increasing rate with over a billion people and limited resources to maintain this rise. They have shown a desire for expansion of their empire or perhaps just to shore up their perceived weakness. Either way they have established their ADIZ Air Defense identification Zone over much of the East China Sea encompassing land claimed by Japan thought to have oil and gas reserves and there is concern that if this move is unchallenged then they, China, will move to enact one over the South China sea as well taking islands claimed by both the Philippines and South Vietnam thought to be a major source of oil and gas as well. Once the Air Defense identification zones are intact, it is just a matter of time until they restrict shipping and fishing in those area's as well. Friday 2-07-2014 Secretary of State John Kerry vowed to defend Japan against attack from China, including over the disputed islands. What can we do short of all out war? Enact a ban on all foreign ( as to not single any one country out ) manufactured goods from being sold in America. Yes I realize that many American firms have all or part of their production in China and else where, but in the interest of the American way of life, "for the good of the many" we will sacrifice the few. Sorry , bring home your manufacturing put America first. Taking away China's ability to gain revenue will help to slow their rate of expansion and to perhaps look at other methods of achieving their goals . Then call on our European partners and ask that they too enact similar bans.
