Based on a current trend of the West buying cheap Chinese labour. A trend you think will continute beyond 2020?

Actually no the only reason china has such a large economy is based only on the large population they have.Not to mention that most of the companies based in China are owned by American/Westerners who use the countries large population and cheap labor costs to produce goods that they can sell at a huge profit

 

and yet this is the biggest reason why china whome is a natural enemy of sorts to the US, would not dare do anything to provoke the US into a war against them. whether they or the rest of the world want to admit it or not. the world needs us DAMN YANKIES

when the US market finally collapses and the rest of world goes into turmoil because of the greed of our politicians and stupidity of the majority, that is when WW3 will happen. the victor of that war given the world wide genocide will be the next super power...... of nothing!

so long as the US has an economy even a strugling one like we have currently china who greatly depends on direct and indirect support of the "west" isnt gonna do anything, that will screw up the good thing they have.

i believe the phrase is: dont SH*T where you eat! is correctly used here!   


and that statement is the reason why WW3 wont happen anytime soon ^^.

A chinese Carrier that is slightly larger than what we had during the Korean and beginning or Vietnam wars, is supposed to what do what? scare the US? we have i believe at last count approx a doz and half carriers that are 100,000 m-tons. missles that can sink it before it ever gets out of harbor (if need be). remember the US navy is much more advanced than it was during WW2, we have satelites that can track this stuff in real time. Once the prevelant sh*t hits the fan, this wont be a "hunt for the bismarck" 


even scaled back the US navy is still the strongest navy on the planet by pure firepower alone. add in upkeep, maintenance, advancements, ect..... saying that china and russia's navy could do the US great damage is like saying the somali navy is actually a navy.

everything both countries have by means of firepower is outdated by almost 15 years, and they do not have the resources to maintain their equipment properly.

I am not going to say the US navy maintains the best equipment, hell a majority of its equipment dates back to vietnam. but the difference is.... it will work when asked. because we have the resources that russia and china lack!
Oh,   and the high tech stuff, is pretty damn effective too

    

yup,it sure will continue till 2020,if they don't do it in china,and where they are gonna do?

and it not just western buying china item,eastern oso ~ ASIA is the most,u think asia is small map? :P

 

wasn't it from Ukraine ?

 

Don't underestimate your rivals.

* US Navy is larger then PLA Navy (PRC), TRUE. PLA (PRC Army) is larger then all US armed forces combined. Almost two times larger, FACT.

* China (PRC) has one of the world's largest missile and rocket inventory.

* China (PRC) became the third country in the world to have sent a man into space by its own means with the flight of Yang Liwei aboard the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft on 15 October 2003.

* On 11 January 2007 China conducted a successful test of an anti-satellite missile, with an SC-19 class KKV.
