China is growing with skilled labor, education, technology and a growing military.
They are also using nuclear threats to keep or acquire Tibet, Taiwan and places like East Timor with no one really paying attention or caring.
Yet the US is the aggressive bully of the world.
People also forget that China is making a killing in trade since everyone buys from China, and China has various embargos on products coming into China. They also openly steal and pirate any intellectual property.
