Who do you think is more responsible for China's current position of power? Syria or the U.S.? If the U.S. attacked Syria, do you really think China
would intervene?
Two reasons the Chinese will not intervene. One, the U.S. is the reason China is so wealthy today. Without the U.S. China's already fragile economy
would collapse. China doesn't need this at the moment. The construction projects they have going on and other financial ventures is due to U.S.
supply of money. If that money was to cease coming in, this would cause the Chinese to go belly up in debt.
Two, the Chinese know of that a hyena doesn't not jump on an awake powerful Lion to fight. The hyena carefully watches that lion for some time. When
the lion has gone awhile without food the hyena gets ready. Once the Lion lays down is when the hyena pounces. They would fight the U.S. through a
N.Korean proxy or other proxies before they were to pounce. Syria is not that proxy. An air campaign and a few thousand ground troops would be
enough to quell Syria.
But reason two wouldn't happen until after reason one dissolved. Reason one is still far from dissolving. I know China and Russia may throw a few
warnings around here and there, and honestly it's expected. When the people of this earth see the U.S. for being number 1 for so many years, starting
wars, etc etc. People start feeling hopeless. But then we they see a country like China on the rise it gives people hope. China knows they're on
the way to superpower status. They know what comes with the territory. People are looking for them to put the U.S. it's in place. If China turns
around and says nothing, people won't put their faith in China. So of course China is going to throw a few warnings around ever so often. Put none
of these warnings are usually from the rulers of that country. It comes from other officials in a huge gov't. You never know what is really being
planned and devised behind closed doors.
You never know, China may secretly want the U.S. to take out Iran. Could be a way of paying off debt. They might could even work out a better deal
with oil sales between them two if the U.S. is in charge. Could be none of that. Could be that China isn't as powerful as everyone thinks. In 2065
1/3 of China's massive population will be 60-75. With the one child policy still in effect, they will dwindle down to a country of about 500-600
million in the next 100 years.
The u.s. could have been the worlds superpower way before it was. Fact is, it didn't want the job. After WWII the U.S. had little choice. I promise
you, China isn't as big and bad as the image in peoples minds. They may have accumulated some wealth, but they have a lot more work to do. That
wealth also is because of the U.S.
