The so called Chinese Military threat-2

But do we have to worry about this Chinese threat. Different opinions are emerging with the Pentagon saying yes and other people are saying it was a matter of time before the economic power is translated into military power. This has happened before with the British and the United States, so it is no surprise here. Furthermore the Chinese do need to modernize their armed forces and it will take decades for them to have the reach of the United States navy, army and the air force. Nobody knows about the future but I for one believes that there should not be any worry regarding the Chinese intensions since their economy is so intertwined with the U.S. and the rest of the world that it would be foolish on the part of the Chinese to do anything to disrupt their economy by going on foolish and ill advised adventures.

Further more like the United States, the Chinese want to make sure their lines of supply with the world is open and they are just trying to catch up with the other military powers that have far superior technology and the reach than they have right now. They have only one aircraft carrier (as compared to the U.S. 11) and its navy and the air force has far fewer reach than other major powers. Plus they have the most borders with other countries and have to contend with a rising India and they also have the money now to pursue their modernization of their armed forces.
