The China Threat!

Over the weekend, the Washington Times reported that Pentagon officials fear China is ramping up for a full-scale invasion of Taiwan in two years. This could provoke war with the U.S. since U.S. policy is to defend Taiwan.

Word also came this weekend that China wants to buy a major U.S. oil company, Unocal, to meet its growing energy needs. Already gasoline in America is at $60/barrel, which many attribute partly to growing demand from China.

Should Americans be alarmed at what China is doing? Is a possible showdown with China in the offing?
