You all have it wrong. You don't worry about those subs when you know where they are, you worry about them when you have no idea where they are.

Whats China going to do?
Stop selling to the US?
Yeah let's try that and cut off over 305 billion a year. Lets see their growing economy eat that.

I have a feeling these subs and cruise missiles are not for China, but for someone else who has been a pain lately.
Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

I didn't mean the UN. I meant just China. We're in their grips. Seriously. Just take my silly batter example. We'd be on our knees in a few weeks if they cut off our supply. We aren't tooled to make them anymore. We could be but it wouldn't be fast enough.
Quote from : Wikipedia : United Nations Security Council
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the principal organs of the United Nations and is charged with the maintenance of international peace and security.
Its powers, outlined in the United Nations Charter, include the establishment of peacekeeping operations, the establishment of international sanctions, and the authorization of military action.
Its powers are exercised through United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
The Security Council held its first session on 17 January 1946 at Church House, London.
Since its first meeting, the Council, which exists in continuous session, has traveled widely, holding meetings in many cities, such as Paris and Addis Ababa, as well as at its current permanent home in the United Nations building in New York City.
There are 15 members of the Security Council, consisting of 5 veto-wielding permanent members (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States) and 10 elected non-permanent members with two-year terms.
This basic structure is set out in Chapter V of the UN Charter. Security Council members must always be present at UN headquarters in New York so that the Security Council can meet at any time.
This requirement of the United Nations Charter was adopted to address a weakness of the League of Nations since that organization was often unable to respond quickly to a crisis.

And who's to say all the electronic goods they've been shipping us for decades don't contain a chip they can trigger by satellite to disable. They have clearly demonstrated mastery over our satellites, if only in their ability to shoot them down. They don't need a whole military. And again, they have known this and they planned this. Don't kid yourselves that they need us. It's quite the opposite.

Ahmadinejad is a lot of things but he's hardly an idiot. Why do you believe he is?
And yes, this probably does have to do with the relationship between China and Iran and China and N. Korea, to a lesser degree.

"If China's satellites were working properly." Gotta love the humor in that bit of bias.
Well...let's think about how China might react.
They might think about dusting off their procedures for shooting down a few of out key satellites or jamming them (they might even know just how because some brainiac U.S. corporate and government pukes gave them our specs a while back....you know....when they started building and programming a lot of this stuff for us). That would take care of the aiming problem. They've proved they can shoot down satellites.
They might also consider sanctioning the U.S. You know they could bring us to our knees in a few weeks by simply stopping the shipment of something simple...like batteries.
They don't need submarines. They have all the unconventional weapons they need. And again, our possibly treasonous and oh-so security minded government and corporations put those weapons right into their hands.

No. What I'm saying is that I don't think this is the case with him. I don't think he has the same puppet masters you're talking about. I think he sees what we do. The more I read about him and watch him, I think this could well be the case. Again, I could be being fooled on a deeper level, but that's not too easy to do.

The Chinese navy is in the process of developing. Right now not much.
I mean, what does China have to fear on the sea? It rules commerce and is so big that you can't really defend it with a navy. Only fools would invade.
Logical I guess.
China will probably react like it always does. We want money, not war. The'll flip us the finger, pull some economical mumbo jumbo, make our depression worse and suddenly another billion will be on our debt for the lulz. Then they'll just be like "sup".
