I predicted this 2 years ago. Did anyone listen to me? No.
China needs oil. And uranium. Yes, they are the biggest producer of coal in the world -- but that's not what they want. They want oil for their new cars ("See the U-S-A ... in your Chev-ro-let"; that mantra from the 60s is becoming China's in the 21st century). They want uranium for their new reactors (Greenpeace is screaming at them about 'dirty coal'). And the point will come soon when they will do anything they have to to get these resources. This country has a 5,000 year history of rolling over anybody getting in their way. Think China wouldn't launch nuclear weapons against American cities someday? I have 2 words for you:
Genghis Khan.
