China does not have to deal with war vs the US. They can starve the US to death economically. By 2016, it IMF predicts that China economy will overtake that of the US.

The U.S. is China's number one export partner (by a very wide margin), she's also China's number four import partner (and a provider of technological imports China can't get anywhere else in the world).

Suggesting that China could, or would even want to, "starve the US to death economically" is dumb.

It's like you're arguing that the guy with $1.00001 billion could economically strangle the guy who only has $1 billion.

Nonsense.
