why is everyone afraid of china? sure they have a military buildup and a large economy, but consider:the united states budget in military spending is 14 times that of china. which means that, in loose terms, if they build 1 plane, we can easily make 14 to counter them. simple as that. their nuclear arsenal is not international,meaning they wont be able to send one our way. their economy is in danger of overheating. by the year 2040, scientists predict that 430million people in china will be over 60, severly damaging their economic output. by the year 2050, india (a US partner) will have more citizens and more global influence than china. so for everyone who has heard things about china's huge military buildup,it is still relatively small in the global scale. its like a race. the united states and the EU are a few laps ahead of them. while they are catching up, they can only push so hard for so long. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_as_an_emerging_superpower they have SERIOUS problems
