does martial-law imply shuting down the internet and the grid?
wtf would people do?
no one could live in the big cites, theirs no power! this is pure madness. no one is every going to shutdown the grid for any reason, their isn't any profit in it.

Civilian massacres have been a prominent feature of martial law throughout history, and you don't think the government will shut your lights off if they have to?

You defeat it by having assets instead of debt. In lieu of assets, you have population which can be harnessed to produce goods. China wins on both fronts. America has bred many enemies the past few decades.
If China decides to go to war with America, guess fucking what? There isn't any American debt to China anymore. That is a great deal for America and a death sentence for the Chinese economy. There is nothing more valuable than the trade between these two nations you could gain from a war.

I already agreed that war between the two is unlikely. Multiple times in fact. Learn to read instead of spewing insults.
No, you moron, you drooled out some bullshit about boots in response to nothing I said and have been making breathtakingly ignorant military arguments ever since even as I try to tell you military engagement between these two countries is irrelevant as it isn't ever going to happen, that doesn't mean I can't tell you that you are also retarded for thinking China has any kind of aircraft carrier program worth putting on a chart.

Sure... if you ignore hong kong. From http://unstats.un.org/unsd/snaama/dnltransfer.asp?fID=1 (the first data link on the UN page linked to by the article) if you add yuan and hkd denominated manufacturing, adjusting for each currency's current rate, in 2010 China's manufacturing sector produced $2,046,522,254,485 or $2.046 trillion. This is compared to the $1,855,967,100,172 or $1.855 trillion listed for the good old USA.
It isn't added for a reason, but try and remember that your down syndrome addled brain is discussing this because you suggested the American manufacturing industry is in cobwebs. Even with these numbers, producing slightly less with less than half as many people is not cobwebs.
Gotcha... dumb troll is dumb.
All you're doing in spewing personal insults and dodging my points. I'm done here, and we're off topic anyway.
If you are to believed, there are no points to dodge! I posted that the US and China are stable countries that will remain so for centuries. China because of historical and cultural legacy, and America because of a dominant military regime. There was nothing about war between them until you drooled out something about boots.
All this pointless mind numbing derail is because you were too dumb to read that my original point was not about war between the two countries and you just now seem to have caught up.
. Show me this supposed UN study and you may have some credibility, but we really only know what China tells us about China. In the mean time, China will continue to grow it's population much faster than we possibly could and training these people to fight fiercely. A few well placed EMP devices and all our drones and fancy hardware is just a bunch of scrap metal. Even if we retaliate in kind China has the boots and the guns.
