U.S.-China relations are influenced by a wide array of issues from Taiwan to trade relations and human rights. But undoubtedly access to Middle East oil will become a key issue in the relations between the two powers

China also provides conventional weapons that could threaten U.S. military forces securing the Persian Gulf
Two top advisers to the Chinese government gave strong hints in August that Beijing should use its estimated $900bn holdings of US Treasuries and agency bonds as a "bargaining chip"

Wow-its amazing to see the hate i.e. jealousy when your country is on top. Most of the anti-American whiners are just pissed because their [pansy little governments either lack the balls, the will-power or the motivation to do anything about the situation in the world. Most countries CANT do anything so what they do? They resort to whining and crying about US hegemony when in actuality they just wish they were able to do the same.
Hmmm. Who did the world call on when Iraq invaded Kuwait? What about in the Balkans when the European countries couldnt do anything about a situation in their OWN backyard? Who did they call on then to intervene?
