I wonder if those "cars" they want to export in a giant "civilian" ship would turn out to be manned tanks, etc rolling off the dock.
Or if the "car plant" going from making cars to producing tanks, etc. and all those Chinese "workers" we let into the country to work at said plant/s are in fact military

Plus they constantly fly their stupid "Lone Star" flag either on top of or elevated higher than the US flag! Then there is that whole "Don't mess with Texas" thing. I mean seriously... talk about brainwashing. Texas takes it to another level.

I don't think the US will let its country get carved up like a turkey dinner like that. Probably gonna be some kind of conflict.

WASHINGTON — The United States filed a complaint Tuesday with the World Trade Organization that says China violated international trade rules when it imposed tariffs last year on U.S. chicken exports.
The tariffs affect an industry that employs about 300,000 people, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said. They ranged from 50 to 100 percent, a U.S. trade official said. That means some Chinese importers paid as much as twice the price for U.S. chicken.
“We will not stand still if we believe that China has violated its commitments as a WTO member and is therefore threatening American jobs,” Kirk said.
The case is one of several that U.S. trade officials have filed against China this year at the WTO. The United States has also filed complaints about Chinese tariffs on steel products and its subsidies of wind power equipment.
The Obama administration has faced pressure to take a tougher line with China.

I don't know how this will impact either nation, or if it is just more posturing. What I wanted to add is this is obviously nowhere close to the speculation in this thread.
