is china a threat to the united states?

Answer 1

Only economically.

When China deregulates the yuan, taking off the artificial caps and opens their currency to an open market WATCH OUT!

The dollar, yen, and euro will crash HARD.

The yuan and the British pound will be the strongest currencies.

The dollar will eventually rebound but it'll take two or three years, there is too much investment in it world wide for a permanent crash. The yen will take longer but it will also revive. I would watch for the dissolution of the euro and perhaps the entire EU. The only thing holding the EU together is the currency and false unified economy, any trouble to the euro and the EU will be endangered. Germany would love for the deutch mark to return and separate its booming economy from being held down by the rest of Europe.

Answer 2

China has a huge defense force with almost 3 million troops and almost 4 hundred million adult males of defense force age. so as that they seem to be a formidible defense force ability little doubt. yet what's greater appropriate interior the favourite era is that China has quite a few hundred nuclear weapons. If america and China have been to have interplay in an entire-scale defense force conflict, it would no longer final long. the two international locations have the aptitude to right this moment smash one yet another with nuclear weapons. That, and the actuality that our 2 international locations have become further and extra based on one yet another economically, ability that it rather is extremely no longer likely that the U.S. and China could ever combat a conflict. we are too busy procuring their products for us to ever prefer to nuke one yet another.

Answer 3

Forget the military, it's the massive deficit Bush has built-up to finance the war. Without China, the US would be on its knees right now.

They're owed hundreds of billions in dollars. But they don't trade on the foreign exchange market, so the US is really exposed.

Why Bush sold so much of the national debt to a communist unpredictable power like China is beyond me.

If China called in the debt, it would hit the US economy very hard. If the Middle East changes their oil trading currency to Euro, the US economy will crash and never recover

Answer 4

Less now than ever before. I have noticed that China hasn't started any wars that I know of, The use to back our enemy's.

The biggest threat now from China is our trade inbalance. They sell us so much stuff that they have too much of our money.

Answer 5

I don't think so - we buy too much of their crappy merchandise for them to ever be mad at us.

Seriously, though, we are friends with China...why do you think we haven't done anything to N.Korea? N.Korea is China's whiney, snot-nosed little brother. N.Korea talks s*** and thinks his big brother will come to the rescue when he gets in trouble.

We don't hafta do anything to N.Korea 'cause China will keep them under control when the situation gets bad enough.

Answer 6

China has the manpower to be a threat to the whole word, if we fought with clubs, but they lack technical ability

Answer 7

Bush staggers through the world with a giant chip on his shoulder, trying to play the bully of the block. I think as long as this dry-drunk maniac is president, anyone and everyone is the United States' potential enemy.

Answer 8

I would say they are getting rich from US, and less of a threat every day...

They are actually becoming quite democratic. Amazing what capitalism can accomplish...

Answer 9

Every countries are the treats to every other countries. China is a big treat to USA.

Answer 10

Not really. Unless Russia joined in, China wouldn't dare attack us.
