Concerning China’s growing influence in the world, this post has me thinking about U.S.-China relations in a new light. First off, this new Anti-ship ballistic missile seems like a big deal. The fact that China felt it needed such technology at the current moment makes one suspicious about their motives in South East Asian waters.
With all the information you’ve provided in this blog post, I can’t help but parallel our situation (our as in the rest of the world aside from China) with that of the 1996 film “Independence Day”. China, the technologically advanced and ambitious alien race, seems to be setting in place chess pieces in anticipation of world domination.. or perhaps just naval domination. Regardless, when taking into account China’s interest in controlling the South China sea and recent militaristic developments, I’m curious/nervous to see if a U.S. naval presence will make much difference for Taiwan’s security and as a naval hegemony. This development’s got other countries spooked as well. Australia, Japan, and South Korea all seem to be getting their shit together in fear that China will roll over them someday with 1000 mile range ballistic missiles.. maybe the United States should do something about it as well; like contacting Jeff Goldblum, Will Smith and Bill Pullman.

First off, China has to be aware of the message it’s sending to the rest of the world. They practically have their Asian neighbors sweating bullets and looking over their shoulders for a sudden mass invasion. And obviously they know of the U.S. working with military forces in Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. So does a lack of clarification on China’s part about their motives mean that everybody’s concerns are justified?
There doesn’t really seem to be a good way out of this whole situation for the U.S. either. We seem to be putting ourselves in a position where China and the U.S. will butt heads either militaristically or economically. The bottom line is that China’s making their way up the global food chain as a superpower second only to the U.S. They’re eventually (if it hasn’t already happened) going to reach a point where they can demand certain things from weaker countries. Say for instance, a bunch of islands off the coast of Thailand. Oh wait.. they’ve already claimed ownership to that already. China’s finally gotten a taste of super-power and they’re licking their lips. It’s a good thing we have Hillary Clinton on our side to appease the situation. But just in case China doesn’t see any reason to listen to Hillary, I think we may have a very sticky political situation on our hands in the near future.
