Pending Naval Arms Race?

[Almighty Colin]

China is on a roll. In some ways, they remind me of an earlier US and USSR -- developing it's space program rapidly, arming itself technologically, growing it's economy rapidly. China is the world's second largest economy. They've even managed to pick up the concept of deficit spending.

One would think their long history of greatness as a nation is contributing to a national- will and self-determination.

Despite what some say, Communism is not dead. It is alive and well in China, though it has a sort of hybrid economic system.
