    This isn't 1970, and our national survival isn't at stake; China doesn't have 1000 nuclear weapons pointed at the US like the Soviet Union did, so it's not worth our while to go toe to toe with China (yet).

      Because the US would have to borrow the money from china to do it. Cold wars aren't cheap

          Two things...

          CNN title "Biden in Crisis Mode" with a footage of him and Abe in the background... All this in a Electronics shop window. Wife asks, what's wrong with Biden, he had heart attack? :whome:

          Interesting how things heat up whenever US focus is. Guys like the attention or else doesn't matter.

            Could the debt withstand the nuke's radiation?

            Recently the Fed plummed China into lower place.

                So what can China do in the East China Sea ? Try to assert itself over the waters, the air is the new realm.

                Whereas the South China sea is deeper and there is scope for Chinese subs to operate there. South China sea is one area the Chinese will not give up on dominating.

                  If we are going to indulge in this little fantasy, then the answer is, yes, cause the survivors of a US wasteland will still owe the survivors of a chinese wasteland.

                  it'll be shortlived whatever it is, cause next year, china is going to be alot richer than it was the previous year cause more american businesses are offshoring.

                  I wouldn't be surprised if we see more ADIZ in future cause a richer china means more aircraft to patrol those ADIZ.

                    Based on your hypothesis, if its shallow for the chinese subs, it'll be shallow for the Japanese subs et al. So that only leaves us with littoral ships of which china has plenty and Japan has too few and the US has diddly at the moment (or at least until they get their LCS together but then where to base those death traps?)

                      Bullshitting, in the state of war, the mutual holding of national debts each other were void.

                      Also, you were not aware that the difference of nuclear power, come back getting 8000+ more nukes to achieve MAD.

                      Don't always mentioned the debt, France already got a bitter lesson named Treaty of Versailles. Even if American wished, they will print every single paper money with your change.

                        Oh shut up! 24 nukes ain't going to laid waste to the US.

                        Really, just shut the hell up. I'll bet on the Japanese ships any day.

                          Where you been? Kids don't play cowboys and indians anymore. That's so 1950s.

                          How do you arrive at this reply? Warring nations do not recognize each others debts.

                          Citations please. The rate of off-shoring is not increasing, as this Bureau of Labor Statistic chart shows.

                          More aircraft don't justify more ADIZs; bona fide security considerations do. The purpose of its new ADIZ is clearly to reinforce territorial claims. China seems to regard its new found wealth as a green flag to throw its weight around. This could end badly for China given its dependence on foreign trade and foreign raw materials.

                          And you, sir, need to stop being dismissive of other posters' comments.

                            No leader can justify 1 retaliatory strike on its own let alone 24 hits over the complete annihilation of another country. Thats just out of touch.

                            Secondly, no one knows for sure what their exact number of warheads are.

                            You're moaning about a different context here. Double Edge posed the hypothesis that the East China Sea was shallow. not sub friendly. More littoral. Less big ships

                            Also, Japanese ships are armed with harpoons, whose effective range are alot less than the chinese equivalent.

                            read what Toshi Yoshihara & James R. Holmes had to say.

                            http://thediplomat.com/2012/09/the-m...e-destroyer/3/

                            "On paper, at least, this officially makes China’s the leading indigenous Asian navy. Once the 052D contingent joins the fleet, the PLAN can expect to take on any regional fleet—excluding the U.S. Navy, of course—with better-than-average prospects of success. It will command a 16:6 advantage over the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, 16:3 over the South Korean Navy, and 16:9 over the combined Japanese and South Korean fleets. That’s significant."

                              No, but its pointless to have one without aircrafts to monitor and enforce. They don't justify, but they are a pre-requisite. I'm sure you'll agree that having a few more ADIZ would boost their national defence.

                              One side claims the ADIZ is to reinforce territorial claims, the other national security considerations. Which side is right? Of course you are going to say your side.

                              We've seen this before with the US, its nothing new. Who do you think the chinese copied the idea of an ADIZ from?

                              Every country is dependant on trade and the the bulk of the raw materials china needs is to make the goods the world wants and needs.

                              I think the chinese could throw alot more weight around, but are encumbered by their non interference policy.
