No way.
What do you mean by lost territory?
Except Mongolia? That used to belong to China before I think WWI.
What about australia? "Lost territory??????"
I think the US might be the one that is the aggressor.
The US is in debt to China in what amount of billions of dollars.
Its more likely that the US might do some nut job "and claim democracy" so if they set up a new government.
Then they can just erase the debt.
But I see that as a 1% chance.
A war wont occur. Simply because of MAD.
But if a war occured, without nukes.
It might be a stalemate.
America has the best trained troops and the best military in quality of troops and quality of weapons.
Plus American has naval power. A blockade or naval attack can create catastrophic effects to the Chinese military infruscture.
But China is fighting on its home front, and while they may not necessarily have the best, they have a lot of slightly older weaponery and some new which can still hold its own. Plus other military development is shrowded in & they train to fight a much more technolgicaly advanced foe (aka the US) in war games.
So I highly doubt shit like armored fury is ever gonna occur.
It doesnt matter if you dont even have an army. once you got nuclear weapons. Thats pretty much your lifeline.
Why do you think there is so much pressure on NK & Iran.
While its true that China is a "Communist" country in name and its true that there is one party.
Its not radical communism like the cultural revolution. So I dont think any war is going to occur.
The main theme of this age (information age whatever you call it) is going to require globalization.
Pretty much soon, all major countries are going to be either economically or some otherway tied together.
There are already talks of China ,Japan, South Korea doing the preliminary stuff to combine (like the EU)
Seriously all this bullshit about the Chinese taking over the world is just fuckin bullshit. Only people who cant think rationally would gobble this up and create mass panic not saying the OP is. By either Chinese haters, jealous of their economic growth, war nut jobs, and possibly racists. Its a legitimate question, but just saying shit like "oh the chinese is gonna invade. Better lock ur doors and hide ur women" is just like
Secret "insert non aligned, dictator, terroist group or ambiguious aligned nation here" documents show that they are planning to attack "insert western nation here" through "insert whatever means here". (sarcasm)
Bullshit.
And yes Im born in the US. But my heritage is Chinese. So I root for America and Mainland China. But thats just my opinion above.
