What do you think of China's growing military strength and assertiveness? Is China our next adversary?

China has asserted ownership of nearly all of the South China Sea and is building at least seven artificial islands in the key waterway. U.S. officials say they do not take sides in territorial disputes. But they worry that China could use the new islands — at least one of which includes a military-grade runway and deepwater harbor — to assert control over air and sea navigation and have called on China to halt construction. What are your thoughts? Is China a threat to World Peace and the US?
