Oh yes it could. Without firing a single bullet. All it has to do is dump all long term US treasury bonds down the poo-poo hole and kill the dollar.Pesky Chinese...don't mess with them. They have kung-fu, nuclear weapons, economic powah and a whole lot of ninjas - they, too, are now made in China, along with everything else.
Wrong!
Ninjas come from Japan not China.

Oh for the love of..... That's fine, I'll explain what I wrote -
I made a joke playing on the fact that everything is manufactured in China, hence I said ''they too, are now made in China, alongside everything else'' signalling at Chinese mass production of everything.
The joke was, that even Japanese and Koreans outsource their ninja making to China because it is so cheap, like many other countries and companies that have their goods made for very cheap by the Chinese.
Hope that was clearer.

Oh sorry, i thought you meant actual ninjas but i understand what you meant now.
If Japan & China were to have a conventional war then Japan would kick China's ass so bad due to the fact that the Chinese Navy is so poorly equipped compared to Japan's & not to mention they have the 2nd biggest defence budget in the world after the US.
Its a shame Japan can never be the once great imperial empire it was.

China is better than India, but they aren't that far apart, both are in the lower 50% of HDI.

In fairness to the GOP the poll indicates that the country generally seems to have become a bit unhinged. Overall, 40 percent of Americans think Obama's a socialist, 32 percent think he's a Muslim, and one in four think that "he is a domestic enemy that the U.S. Constitution speaks of."
Having said all that, a couple of caveats and complaints that have come out about the poll: First the questions are loaded, and second it was taken online, which is a controversial technique. (For more, see this Newsbusters piece.) So take it with whatever size piece of salt you see fit.
Regardless, I wouldn't put much stock in a single poll. You can pretty much find isolated polls/surveys supporting any position, including polls that contradict each other. It's all about sample sizes and consistency, plus how the things constructed..
