    They're doing that quite efficiently actually by avoiding the command and control costs of nukes by only deploying small numbers of them and using their armed forces as arms dealers to fund projects. They've also gotten a fuck lot of tech from us of course. Some of which was provided during the Cold War when China was a useful foil of the Soviets..

    In any case, the Chinese have a lot of cash. That is not to say that they don't have a huge laundry list of problems and potential political instability...

      While Chinese GDP is almost half of that of ours, it doesn't look good when comparing our external debt.

      But when diluted by percapita basis and you suddenly realize they generate less than the US by a whopping factor of 12x, you know full well China can go fuck themselves if they wanna tell us the rules on debt.

      FUCK China! They don't got a chopstick to stand on..

        The real concern is this massive stimulus and expansion of government which is going to kill the next trillion of net worth easy over the next few years.
