Doubtful. I don't see the Chinese government risking even a pyrrhic victory.

Ya, if they did something like that, we would show them: we would destroy our own economy, and destroy China's in the process. Oh, wait...

That's not what a phyrric victory is.

So, you think that was a requirement for my statement?

Is that even a real word?

Without saying I think it will happen or it won't happen what do you guys think of this?

2+ Billion dead Chinamen and Indians? That would have to be one massive war.

to have the highest pop? nah, we'd only have to cut them down to about 3-400 million.

"nuke 'em. lets nuke the bastards." >\

We have the technology!

The key would be to get them to off themselves, preferably using only martial arts and bladed weapons (for epicness)

Send in other countries with helicopters to video-tape the scene and watch it for centuries. That would be awesome. It would be hard to keep other countries uninvolved too, because both countries have a lot of economic ties.

Make it a pay-per-view only event, economics solved.

I don't know, I think China could sustain themselves without US backing them, the entire Eastern economy is practically wrapped around their fingers. Not to mention the industrial power house they are.

I posted some figures in another thread, but basically, if America and China no longer traded, trade would no longer be profitable for the Chinese. They would begin losing money, because of how much they gain in their relationship with the Americans.

Would this mean the end for China? no, of course not. But, it would mean an end to the 8-9% growth their economy is seeing, it would mean an even greater pinch on their already low natural resources, especially water (the Chinese government is investing billions to try and get water to the north), and basically would require an entire redesign of their economy. It would be disasterous to China, as much as it would be to America. Such is the reason why the two nations will never go to "war", there is a form of economic MAD.

Wow I didn't even realise that China was lacking water. I thought China was laden with natural resources?

nope, they nearly exhausted all of theirs in Mao's day. it is the reason an invasion of central Asia would be the most likely military action we would see from china, but even then, china has spent the last decade putting a lot of money into the hands of despots to ensure their resource imports.

Yes and in a handful of years they will have to import (much more) oil aswell.

hence why an invasion of central Asia would be the most likely military action china would take
