<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I hope we never go head to head against China. And I don't think we will. I think this "face-off" will be something like what we had with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction)<br /><br />I think China is probably near or ahead of us in many areas. And we're likely ahead of China in just as many - if not more - areas. But I don't think there's a good chance we will ever actually face off in a "real" war with China. At least I comfort myself with that thought/hope.
