No mate, I think that's unlikely.
China have nuclear gear, don't they?
What do you mean pick a fight?
I'm lost, sorry. I don't see your point.
How come this isn't in the "Pete's just back from the pub" thread ?

1) USA owes China loads of money
2) China is making claims over the Senkaku isles which belong to Japan
3) Japanese have voted to kick USA out of their base in Okinawa
4) everyone thinks China is getting too big for it's boots
5) China now insists on everyone submitting flight plans over the islands to China
6) USA sent over a couple of B52's to say fck you
7) China sent it's second hand aircraft carrier into the south china sea and then forced a USA ship to alter course after 'bridge to bridge communication'
8) the whole of the area surrounding the south China Sea is being claimed by China and everyone is looking to the USA to sort it.
9) the USA still owes China loads of cash
What do you think will happen next..........

I got back a while ago lad, I'm drinking a decent red wine now ffs.........
Yeah it's connecting the two things I didn't get.
All you have to know is is the US and China are each other's largest trading partners and desperately need each other. Neither are going to do anything other than posture at each other for domestic consumption.
Ah OK, fair enough. Wine after beer ain't a good plan btw.
Will these world affairs effect the opening times of our Chinky Chippie mate ?
