What I find strange is that while Japan occupied China and fought a war with Russia, no one cared, but if China was to take a stand against Japan, you can guarantee that they will 'care' then.
Yea its not like anyone dropped some nukes on them for it or anything...

It is fortunate for CHINA that the U.S. is not a nation Hell Bent on Conquest

NOTHING...and I mean NOTHING...is allowed to be shipped without U.S. Navy approval. This approval is a self installed U.S. Naval Code and should a shipment of a Material...say a North Korean Ship loaded with Missiles and Nuclear Weapons Grade Fuel...be headed toward Iran....the U.S. Navy would SEIZE that ship!

The U.S. would demand China to leave or be driven out. Lets say China refuses to leave and starts sending Troop Carrier Ships to the Island. The U.S. Navy and Air Force target all Chinese Ships, Subs and Landing Party Troops. China gets it's ASS KICKED! China attempts to sink a U.S. Nuclear Carrier with it's NEW CARRIER KILLER MISSILE. A U.S. AEGIS CLASS CRUISER launches an SM-3 ABM and EASILY SHOOTS THIS CHINESE MISSILE DOWN. As a response...U.S. Stealth Bombers and the U.S. Navy attack and DESTROY all Chinese Ships and Subs near the area as well as Stealth Bombers Destroy Chinese Air Bases and Naval Yards. The U.S. as a WAR REPARATION refused to pay back Chinese Loans as well as refuse all Chinese Goods bound for the U.S. The U.S. Navy also...for a MONTH or TWO...TURNS BACK any and all OIL SHIPMENTS bound for China. At this point...China has only two options left...either attempt a Nuclear Strike upon a U.S. Target...which China already KNOWS that any Chinese ICBM can be EASILY SHOT DOWN with an SM-3 ABM or perhaps with the several operational Nuclear Powered FEL's known to exist or have it's ICBM shot down by an USAF F-15 loaded with a Long Range ABM launched in flight. OR...CHINA COULD STAND DOWN. Since China Knows a Nuclear War with the United States is SUICIDE...China would most likely call it a Day.

The reason we buy them from China is that they are CHEAP! Afghanistan is estimated to have over 20 to 30 TRILLION DOLLARS worth of exotic minerals LOCKED into that country's Mountains.

I was also trying to explain that the U.S. Navy and ONLY the U.S. Navy has the capabilities of halting any and all Shipments on and under all the Oceans of the World. No other Country has this ability.
