when do we go to war with China?

I know that the Iraq situation is blowing up, and everyone is pissed at the administration, and come November we won't need to worry about anything etc, etc, etc. However, PNAC isn't going anywhere. The older members will die, but Feith and Cambone are the next generation. I also know they're discredited, but they're still around, and who really goes away in Washington? We still have people from Watergate and Iran-Contra doing important jobs today.

And PNAC knows that their plans are long term plans. Before 9/11, they knew revolutionary change would take a long time. They're not in this for 4 or 8 years.

Wonder if the outsourcing to China is a way to help the Chinese economy improve to the point where they're ready to fight. That way, we can justify another, and probably more dangerous(seeing as how it won't be just ideological, but resource wars), arms race.

And we do have bases around China. They're right about that one. Iraq. Afghanistan. Uzbekistan. Probably a few other Stan's. Japan. South Korea. We have Russia that borders China as a friend, but not that close a friend, since both sides still have nukes pointed at each other.

Either way, fun future.
