Oh well, doesnt change the point does it? they still have about a billion people more than in the US

Yes indeed, I tough about specifying it in my post but I was unsure about wheter India was part of Southeast Asia
Edit: Oh and indeed they are a nuclear power, as China is
I don't think India and China have nuclear stockpiles to wipe each other, so a limited nuclear confrontation is a possible scenario in my opinion (as it is between India and Pakistan)

Chinas military popluation is to big for its own good. And your assumeing all these ppl are fit to fight. with top of the line techno.. Most of chinas military is malnutriotioned, ill equiped. The weapons are out of date resulting in weapons that just dont work.

Depedning on the technology, China's military is only 2-3
generations behind America's military technology, and a
significant enough amount is near enough to our level that
they would, in the case they were ever against eachother,
be equally matched.
That said, in a war against China, America would win, though
there would be many casualties on both sides.
I'll agree that it's military is far to big for China's own good,
and that more than a few our malnourished, but technology
wise, the Chinese amry could still put up a tough fight.
Though that's not to say that all their weapons are up-to-date
though.

No where did he say or assume that anything was Americas fault.

First off, if you actually get your head out of your ass, and
decide to only pay attention to one thing, you would see that
Crisis also said that this was a good thing.

Apparently if there is a need for the removal of heads from posteriors, it should be yours! Sadly this little statement escaped you: "Why does the U.S. always have to find problems in everything? This is just going to cause more conflict between nations." Hmmmmm, what could one surmise from such a statement? That they believe that the U.S. is cause of this "conflict." Again, this merely supports my claim that what we have here is another thread blaming the U.S.! So do NOT tell me that no where did he say that - I just showed you!

It's nice to see the U.S. finally standing up to other countries.

What I meant was that the U.S. needs to be more lienant.
And sadly for you, I focused on the entire article - which is why I bothered to link to FACTUAL information ON THE TOPIC! By the way, nowhere did Crisis state that this was a good thing!

Actually it's 1.3 billion, we don't need to give them two-hundred
million more people than they already have.
They can't see to figure out that everyone hates them and that, they need to become more of a neutral nation or they will just become worthlessly blown to pieces.

Well actually it's more 1.8 billion. There's 1.3 legal citizens... and you know they have a birth control law... so there's a hell lot of children illegals that are not counted.
A huge part of China is rural. And they can't afford to have only 1 child to sustain the farm and all the work this farm needs... so they have illegals children, if 400 millions of chinese are rurals and they have each 2-3 children... and you had all the female babies that are being ``lost`` you have your 500 millions more than the official number.

No Vitchilo, it's more around 1.3billion, China makes sure
they don't have illegal immigrants, and they keep meticulous
records of all of their citizens, and they enforce the 1 child law everywhere.
