Will we go to war with China?

Go stand naked on top of a fireant hill armed with only a magnifer on a hot day. That would be pretty much what that war would be like.

we don’t need to go to war with anyone. the human race should be smart enough by now to resolve their differences without going to war. But only time will tell on how smart we really are i guess.

I hope we have enough sense not to, but,

A magnifying glass is one thing, but I bet we would use firecrackers.

(Or gunpowder.) No.

Another world war would be meaningless because there would be no ultimate winners and there wouldn’t be any significant gain since so many different elements, globally, would be adversely affected by such a disastrous event.

China is sitting pretty right now because they make millions of dollars off of America from all the products we buy from them and I don’t think they want to jeopardize that nest egg.

In fact, China is advancing so rapidly in the consumer market and making so much money, I think they’re enjoying their competition with the United States too much to ruin it with a senseless war.

no

Two countries having a war isn’t World War Anything. It’s just war. Now, if most of Asia, Europe, North America, etc., all get dragged into the fray, well, then it might be a world war. And unless there was a world war that I missed hearing about or living through since the 1940’s, that would be WWIII.

However, I doubt that we’d be dumb enough to go toe-to-toe with the country with the largest population in the world, especially with such a stretched out military as we have. I also wonder what you think would tip it off. The only thing I can think of is a long, dragged out fight-to-the-death over the last barrels of oil, or China cashing in their chips and finding out that they’re not so good after all.

Quote from “WarGames”

Sometimes the only way to win, is not to play.

China will experience civil unrest for a couple of reasons. Enormous disparity between classes, massive imbalance between men and women (ration messed up from aborting girls), and as they run out of water (glaciers on the Himalayas almost gone) they will implode on them selves.

@Mizuki – China just needs to invite over some nice Eastern European women.

war over what? Taiwan? Vietnam? N. Korea?

no.

Chinese implosion? yes

Not in my lifetime and it would be World War Last

I don’t think our relations with China at least today are that bad, so no.

Not a chance. The US and China have an odd symbiotic relationship. As they hold so much of our debt they are slaves to our economy. We, in turn, are dependent on them not calling in all that debt. Of course, if they were to do that it would completely destroy our economy (you think it’s bad now?) and, in turn, their own. So I wouldn’t worry too much about having to learn Mandatin just yet.
Besides all that, how do you figure a war between two nations would be considered a “world” war?

edit: Mandarin

I’m sure if the U.S. and China (two of the most powerful nations in the world) get at it, than someone will get involved too.

…then someone will get involved too.

srry, im tired and lazy

I see you have edited. All is forgiven. Go in peace, son.

No, for many reasons, not the least of which being that societies that trade with each other are less likely to fight each other. By that standard, the US and China are among the least likely countries to go to war.

actually info has now been out that china has never forgiven the usa for helping revolutionaries take taiwan….also use has made a deal with australia to put 2,500 soldiers there and china aint happy. even if im american i say that its chinas time for payback for all the countries that screwed them over the years and if you dont like it all i have to say is PAYBACKS A BITCH

China has a war within it’s own borders brewing. I have been aware of it since Tianannmen Square.
If we had any Leadership in the US. Our War with china would be about China’s devaluing their money at our expense.
It is likely that we will have more of a trade War because of China’s unfair practices. China values our business and they do not wish to totally destroy us. We are more valuable alive.

@Bluefreedom
I agree.
