Yes. Money is power. China is already the number 1 exporter and has just surpassed Japan to be the second largest economy. Within 15 years, they will surpass us as the world's single largest economy. With that comes economic superiority. With economic superiority comes military superiority. With military superiority comes unprecedented clout in our small world.

That's what you don't get......China doesn't need or want military superiority. They don't need it when you have economic superiority and a huge foreign currency reserve. China is beating us at our own game because smart people like you are not willing to stop beating the military drum. China is spending their money on infrastructure, not defense:
