Zk, I was a little worked up. I was quoting what a friend once told me about her Chinese in-laws. They were very upset that their son was marrying a Philippino, as only a person of Chinese decent was good enough for their family. Any person of another background was inferior. In the end, they decided that she looked Chinese enough that they would try to pass her off of as Chinese to the extended family. She was firmly advised not to mention her true background. My statement was true in this case but I am aware that this is only one family. As such, it should not be applied to everyone.
I do think that China has the potential to try for world domination. This could take many forms. A financial battle is probably most likely but they certainly have the war machine and the people to run it. If war were to break out between our two countries, it would be horrific. We would probably be on the winning side for a while, then they would wear us down with attrition. Our military may not be deep enough to defeat them in the final analysis.
There is much to be admired in the Chinese culture. I have a great deal of respect for them and their amazing history. It is out of this respect for their strength and resolve that I would fear greatly for our country if were undefended.
