My girlfriend sent me this link after I told her about a conversation I had with a co-worker. We were talking about China and the slow takeover they are making. We are in debt to them and they aren't willing to call our bill because they like the money that is coming in and are using it to build cities.

It's like they are ignored problem. They have nukes, they are losing natural resources, they've bought up most of Africa and Australia for their natural resources and pretty soon something is going to snap and Japan will become China's Puerto Rico.

yeah i'm not worried about china at all. if anything, all this commerce they're engaging in is turning them into the united states of the east. they wouldn't do anything to harm our relationship because they like all that money.

But what happens when they decide to call our tab? I think the latest numbers of money owed to them was in the trillions.

They don't really need an army. They have nukes, they missiles to launch them, and they have a desire to keep growing.

They are already an importer of some foods, at what point do they say "ahh screw it, let's take over Vietnam, they're ripe for the picking"?
