Ishihara says U.S. can't win war with China

Governor Ishihara of Japan....would someone tell us more about the governor. I would be interested in how this plays out in the US and Japanese media.

It won't play out in the media.

Would you mind explaining your posting...just curious?

If the only route to contain China is economic, then that means China is too dependent on its economy to want to start a war with the US in the first place as it is American Companies it is courting.

Frankly, I don't see China becoming democratic anytime soon.

The Communist Government so far has brought such far-reaching economic reforms that the people are content. The only reason the Soviet Union collapsed was because it was running out of funds.

The only reason the other Communist Governments collapse was poverty and a lack of a voice.

So far, in history, there has never been a Communist nation as rich as China. Who knows? Perhaps if the Soviet Union's economy was as good as China, maybe it wouldn't have collapsed either.

Who says we want a war with China?

Who say even if a war broke out we might finally have the guts to use every weapon in our arsenal to defeat them?
