Should America Strike China before they get us first?

You are right OdinHades, War is not an answer, but if we are attacked first then what? And not in a 9/11 sort of way. Air strikes and bombings. I am sure China could probably hit multiple cities at once if they wanted.

China can't possibly pull of something like that unnoticed. If a massive air strike is flying from china, the world will take notice and the US will likely get their defenses up. Besides, CIA should be at least somewhat informed if China is planning to start a war. There is simply no way that China will Blitzkrieg Americas ass, I don't see it happening. China would also risk to lose their allies if they do not declare war properly as they would be violating each and every rule there was ever made. China alone doesn't stand a chance, they would be crushed by the international community in no time. 

A full scale war against the United States would have to be planned for years. If the united states aren't totally dumb, they will see the signs and act properly. For example, if china starts to fund the military with 30 % of their net income, that would be the time to start worrying. But until then, there is no sign that china wants to attack the United States. They are better off if they build up their economy anyways, as they will very likely get more wealthy than the US sometime in the next few decades. A political war is already going on, I'll give you that. But I don't think it will end with an actual war.
