Between china pretty much worldwide with questionable sales, thefts and development or theft of biological agents which tends to appear to try and gain control in other nations and further their own economy. Communist China isn't any other nations friend and is being allowed to get out of control.

GySgt Dawson Webb - Yes and taking over the economy of many many countries esp on the African continent. China also isn't even getting along with countries in their own region with intentional pollution of coastal areas as one example. Don't forget all these artificial island for Military use. As You pointed out also there is a lot to be concerned about with Communist China.

GySgt Dawson Webb - Good Move on the part of the USMC, I'm sure they can see the writing on the wall, its very apparent.

GySgt Dawson Webb - No question in my mind that would be a good place to put some money. This IS the front line and very important as are things such as the USAF A10 "Warthog" aircraft as well as AC130 gunships to support those grunts on the ground and hit them where they are when and if needed. To be prepared. As a Vietnam Veteran working base defense perimeter, and QRT's Quick Reaction teams on the ground with USAF Security Police ans working with Marines as well We saw the value of those assets. Hard to know what We may have to fight against with a large entity like China but We can't afford to neglect any of our combat resources. An once of prevention is also worth more than a pound of cure but the cure has to be available if needed.

China is a communist country... Since communism assumes command control of the economy there is no distinction between corporate actors and state actors in China.. Thus all employees for Chinese companies are de facto Chinese agents

The kind of things that went on with the Soviet Union until their fall. Now it's China's turn, no matter what, anyone who thinks these countries were or are our friends are crazy.

This is from the Communist Chinese leadership:

Circumstance forces temporary cooperation with the self-interested capitalists, but these two systems cannot be permanently reconciled. This was the message Xi delivered to party cadres in one of his first speeches as general secretary of the party in 2013, when he declared his faith in the “historical materialist view that capitalism is bound to die out and socialism is bound to win.”

LTC (Join to see) Exactly and unlike us who think of terms of a five year plan, the Chineese think and plan in terms of centuries.
