>>a war involving China will eventually be unavoidable.<<

What is the odds? a lot of Chinese think so too.

>>2. China's 'one child' policy has led to 150 million young men being born that can not find a spouse <<

This reason is laughable, and could only be raised by some paranoid who knows NOTHING at all about Chinese culture. First I don't know where did they get this voodoo estimate? second, China will find their own way to solve the problem, like finding a (much) younger woman to marry, which have been a standard practice in Chinese culture for the last 2000+years anyway, and this can indefinitely postpone the breaking point for the problem.

And the gov. has banned gender-select abortion since the last couple of years. and one-child policy has been relaxed since the last couple of years (there are 10 or so conditions for people being able to have 2nd children of their choice, not to mention in countryside, where 70% of Chinese live, one-child policy has NEVER been strictly followed anyway). As a result, the problem of abnormal sex-ratio at birth will be improved pretty soon.

Last but not the least, Chinese are not warlike people. So unless being serious provoked, China would NEVER go to war.
