US missile shield to encircle Chinese economic tiger



READ ON http://on.rt.com/fkq8h9

American plans to develop a missile shield in Asia have alarmed Beijing. With 250 million Chinese officially considered poor, spending billions to challenge the US military could sink China's economy without firing a single shot. ­The Chinese military has voiced concern that the US missile shield plans to destabilize the military balance on the continent.

These people are not the kind of people to play the diplomatic game honestly and fairly.

China is one of the most aggressive countries in the region. They have occupied Tibet, southern Mongolia, and Manchuria for decades, want to invade Taiwan, and regularly show aggressive behavior towards the Phillipines and Vietnam. They are not the nice guys. I am usually against war but if there is one country we need to keep our eye on, it is China.
