Yeah, the French helped end British rule at the Colonies by showing up after the war was over!!
The French then stuck around and fought the Indians for Quebec (French Indian War).

China is not an enemy to fear. Both sides flex their muscles to show off how big their pipes are. When it comes down to it, if they had to annihilate us they would be losing too much money. Their economy would not be able to handle a war against the US. That would mean that they stop selling goods to the US, and perhaps the allies of the US. They will have riots in their streets because many people will get laid off and will be hungry. I am sure China has considered this, and if their economy did not depend on ours then they would probably be doing more muscle flexing.

United States is their best trade partners and followed up by Japan. If both countries would stop buying from China then China will have a major loss on their hands.

Good point Equinox, but think the West is becoming more dependent on China than China is on the West. They are becoming quite self-sufficient to say the least.
Our next President should stop this.
