China has around 300 Million excess men. Excess meaning no chance of ever finding a wife by sheer statistics. That is around the population of the US. Their "excess" is our entire population. Chew on that for a second.
That sucks for them. Even if 100 million searched the Earth and found foreign brides, 200 million Chinese perpetual bachelors...man. Where did you get that figure? I read in an article that in 2007 there were 37 million more Chinese males than females. The only 300 million figure number I read about in regards to Chinese men is the amount of smokers and those who play basketball  . Apparently I was mixing up some numbers and possibly mentally added a 0; whoops!: http://www.allgirlsallowed.org/category/topics/gender-imbalance-chinaI have heard it before as well, and will try to dig up the audio interview if I can remember where I heard it. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy! Ah no biggie, you were only off by 270,000,000.

One big war could rebalance 37 million. Perhaps that's God's plan to rebalance their population.

Zeros ain't worth anything anyway.  I think I figured it out. It was a combo of excess laborers, largely unskilled and the high amount of men who just simply will never have a wife in their generation, increasing competition with each successive younger generation as older generations attempt to marry the ever decreasing pool. Their marriage economy works on the same principle as US Social Security in this regard. Either way, even 30 Million would provide a nice occupation force if most of the US population were reduced in a nuclear war or other means. Hit the urban areas hard and clean up the fly-over population with more conventional fighting and starvation techniques. Destroy one season of crops and the "seed-bank safe" crowd just starves to death instead of fighting bravely. If the Chinese are smart (which they are), they'd focus early efforts on the urban areas while waiting for the rural to weaken. I wouldn't even really send ground troops into the rural for a while. Just do an air-to-ground war until they sufficiently weaken, spray herbicide on crops, and use guerrilla/covert tactics against community resistance assets. We are sooooo much weaker than we realize. Our military is our might, not our citizen. Our citizen got soft due to a strong military. Anyone got a fiddle?

Has a strong military been necessary since WWII? Why have a strong army when someone in NORAD or a submarine can press a button and launch a nuke?

Has a strong military been necessary since WWII? Why have a strong army when someone in NORAD or a submarine can press a button and launch a nuke? Numbers don't make military might in totality. Our weapons arsenal is part and parcel to our might. China's arsenal has some weaknesses, but they have numbers and good kit overall. We have kit without the numbers of cannon fodder. The all-volunteer military actually serves to weaken the average citizen as a potential asset of home defense. The mentality in many countries of "I did my 2 years, I'm done" weakens the system of conscription as a springboard to continual defenders of home. A more proper system conscripts all, allows volunteer careerists, and implements a reserve function until a certain age. In short, we no longer have a proper understanding of militia and the duty of able-bodied males to national defense because of our hardware, technology and the reduction of needed manpower. The mentality of the citizenry becomes one of demand to be served instead of to serve because "someone else will do it".

But the point is that there really won't ever be a war like WWII ever again. If China wants to trade blows with bombs, it will just be MAD. I am actually happy that there is no draft, although in better times it would of course be necessary. I don't want to fight in a rich man's war, which I believe is unjust.

And just how do the Chinese transport ships or airplanes make it across the ocean without getting their sh** wrecked?
It's a big ocean.

They probably couldn't make it halfway to Taiwan.

I think any Chinese interest in America would be related to our libtard guarded oil deposits (Green River formation in Utah makes the Middle East look like a joke), agriculture, water sources, etc.
Surely they and we would start the exchange with tech, but we are simply not in a position to go beyond that whereas they are. This is why military might also depends on numbers. The less tech you have, the more numbers you need. The more tech, the less numbers. But we've turned war into a chess game instead of the understanding that to declare war is to declare the eradication of a people or their complete subjugation and removal of culture.
Take out our urban centers and the rest of America would fall in time. The mentality of those who think they are going to survive by growing veggies will find out the same thing every generation finds out when their crops fail and animals become scarce- you starve.
I don't think we disagree in the least, but I also don't think the US has the stomach or stupidity to engage China in such an altercation. Either way, historically the way to resolve issues of unpaid national debt is war in some form. We're not going to be able to pull an Iceland and tell everyone to kiss off. We also can't, in any mathematical way, pay off our debt.
We're going to suffer heavily regardless and our leaders with the power to tell China they're about to be lost in the annals of history are spineless, eunuch wonders. I think the national plea, eventually, will reach the level of "do what you want with the kids and women, just don't starve us 'men'"

Well your boogeymen are contracepting themselves to oblivion while your preferred alternative is pumping out kids like rabbits.
...and they teach their kids that one day they'll get to cut off your head.
Interesting you ignore the lessons of Cordoba, et al. Oh well, have fun being a Dhimmi, Vox. It won't be very popular amongst the Christians and their voice will earn them a decapitation.
