Jesse Miller on the DavidIcke Website ( available under US on this page) makes the point that China is a rapidly growing threat to world security. The following is not to counter his argument so much as it is to fill in the blanks. Although China is certainly a world power, its not one on the same scale as the United States. If China poses a threat to world peace then what does the military activity of the United States pse?

It is possible to see the currently vaunted 'China threat' as a response to American militarism wordwide.

The following pieces of information are taken from links available onthis page of GlobalSpin. They are elaborated onin greater detail in those documents on this sites.
