I know this is a serious discussion, but for some reason my scumbag brain pictured China's large army against android maids weilding machine guns, and huge tentacle monsters.

For the record, Taiwan also claims the Senkaku/Diaoyu/Tiaoyutai/Pinnacle Islands. (All four names are in use, but I personally refer to them as "A Bunch Of Uninhabited Rocks.")
On the other hand, China is laying claim to all sorts of islands currently under control of Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, and maybe one or two other countries. Go China Go! Your neighbours love you!

Not many "people" liked China before they even started claiming islands like it was nobody's business.

On the western front they have border disputes with India. Strong ties with militant groups in Pakistan and Kashmir valley. Argh.

Bwahahahah you got me with that one! =D
That's all I wanted to say.
The Japanese gov is trying to buy the Islands from some rich Japanese family that owns them, correct? I don't see why China would be so vehement.
Why do citizens care about what the borders are between nations?

Kasz216 said: A) The original post. Which you were agreeing with. B) Absolute numbers don't matter. Not when talking about proper budgeting. Having more money means you have more threats... more to protect and more intersets to protect. |
A) Here's quote in question: "China and Russia are both worried about America's ambitions and they have every right to be" - you just annoyingly disagree in order to disagree.
B) You're basically agreeing with another quote: "No country is really pursuing imperialistic ambitions anymore except America" - cann't agree more, more money to have - more money to protect :D Cut the ambitions, end ongoign wars - here's half of your military budget.

SamuelRSmith said: You have to consider that the United States political system works very differently to most other countries. Yes, defense as percentage of Federal budget is high... but it's one of the few areas that the Federal Government is supposed to focus on. When you include state Governments, which do most of the things that most central Governments do, the numbers are different. Also, local, etc. |
On a side note.
Wasn't that you who was trying to persuade me that China is a threat to US interests in the Pacific (I'm rewording, the initial quote was smth about a threat to Hawaii, almost like Pearl Harbor 2, no?). Didn't I tell you then that if smth will happen it won't go out farther than South China Sea?
Limits of China's Submarine Operations as per Stratfor
On top of that they do not have a single aircraft carrier operational. All that makes China strategically in defence, not offence.
Well, just using an opportunity for "told you so" remark :D

It may have been. I used to be a bit of a child neocon when it came to these things. I don't care for US military strength, or Chinese, and think the people in control are murderous psychopaths who would love to spend trillions of dollars murdering civillians, if it meant an increase in their power.
Fuck the state.
