This is pretty shitty analysis. I understand it is translated which may account for the wooden tone, but the actual analytical content is pretty weak.

In the post's world China is on an unstoppable 70 year (including recent decades) upward swing with an invincible military, manic bouts of conquest-lust, and a complacent global community.

Are people really so excited to see a rival to the US that they actually get these wet dreams about a belligerent and unstoppable China?

This guy is dreaming. He thinks that other countries will just sit, waiting their turn to be attacked by China as China attacks them one by one.

My guess is that USA will rally them all against China during the first war dealing China a royal defeat. Then, of course, instead of India, China might break up.

The funny thing is that Russia has more to fear than anyone and that's because of.........S I B E R I A. China desperately needs lebensraum /natural resources http://metaldetectingworld.com/05_photo_gallery/singles/russ... and Siberia is perfect. Pout 50 million Han Chinese there and it's all taken care of.

Nuclear weapons are mentioned in the very last paragraph and are not taken into account in the first war where the US may intervene.

I am trying to imagine the US fighting on behalf of Taiwan and even entering the Chinese mainland all without nukes being used.

It might sound cliche to bring up nukes but they are a deterrent to the major powers entering each others land masses directly.

The question really is: Will China want warfare with nukes involved? We are talking end times here, unless the leaders of China are insane I cannot understand how this risk is worth the reward.

I don't know if our aiming capability is accurate but it might be fun to send an un-armed(empty)ICBM to a farm field outside of Beijing...OTOH it would be very bad joss to off a farmer---decisions, decisions.
If China were to invade Taiwan, one thing that might happen is that Apple and all the other U.S. and E.U. companies that are outsourcing their manufacturing to China would start moving their business to other countries (maybe even back home). These companies wouldn't be able to justify the economic risk of being dependent on a country that might be subject to a huge political backlash, such as a world-wide trade embargo.

Although it's possible that in 50 years, the cost of labor in China will have increased to the point where other countries are not outsourcing their manufacturing to China any more.

This is insane... Although it is undeniable that China will become a world power and that there is a war on the horizon.
