China claims a sovereign nation(Taiwan) as it's own and will no doubt try to take it back if/when they feel they can get away with.China is emboldened by their prosperity(sadly fueled by the US) and has no legitimate reason to build up it's military as it is doing, other than those pulling the strings in that nation plan on trying assert power in the region down the road, fueling another cold war that could get hot times.The sad irony of it, US lives will prob be lost to equipment paid for with money paid to China by the US.Damn Nixon for even visiting, damn Clinton for his involvement, should have kept these people in the dark ages for as long as possible, that's how you prevent a war, well one that will cost much anyway.
