Oh well, hope ever springs eternal...... that the Chinese juggernaut will self-destruct.

A civil was looming up in China? No, I don't think so. Simply because the Chinese are Chinese and are not like the westerners who believe in opposition and revolution on a whim or drop of the hat!

To be sure, Rumsfeld has been attempting to demonize China by drawing attention to China's huge spending on military hardware. But he was roundly told by the Chinese to "shut up" and rightly so because America's military budget is twice the military budget of the rest of the world, and China has about 5 times the population of America. Which means that the military budget per capita in China is far far less that that for the US.

Why has Rumsfeld been trying to demonize China? To be sure the answer is pretty obvious!
