China has been beefing up its military at an alarming rate.
When Clinton extended them an open hand they came over here and studied our technology and the way we teach/structure our military extensively. Now they're running academies like Annapolis and Westpoint and focusing on putting technically trained specialists into their forces... and it's paying off.
They've also ordered a fleet of highly advanced submarines with parts made in France and Germany - the first of which is scheduled for delivery in 2005 IIRC. These subs will use fuel cells that will allow them to stay down longer and titanium hulls that will allow them to go deeper, as well as a highly modified propulsion system that will be nearly impossible to detect unless our guys get more funding to research/build sonar arrays that can hear them.
When WWIII comes, it *will* be with China - and they're beefing up for it - the question is merely who will be standing on the opposing side.
