china has a very big test ahead. faced with the threat of the united states and it's encirclement policy of using our neighbors against us, we have absolutely no choice but to do whatever it takes to gain military superiority over all- it's either that or china will face extinction, or worse, become a slave state like india.
if china can overcome this threat, and i'm sure we will, there will be another pax sinica~ where peace in east asia and beyond will be maintained by chinese dominance and hegemony.
