Colonialism is alive and kicking, but not neccesarily in the old fashioned guise of conquer and control via boots on the ground. The new form of control is through banking, IMF, World bank,etc. The USA as with any power does not wish
to relinquish or concede defeat( the French had a similar problem, Indo-china, algeria etc).If China ever
becomes a power then it too will go through a similar phase of growth and decline. What can be seen from
the comments abve is the usual flag waving jingoistic noises being made by any individual who would
consider themslves a ‘patriot’. China has become quite shrewd in that when doing deals with other nations
the make it a point of stressing that they wish not to meddle in the internal politics of that country. The US on the other hand makes a point of call in sticking its nose into the business of other nations. Man commentators may say
that as a democracy, its job should be to spread democracy by any means neccesary. In this desire for
democracy and liberty, should the US and its people not reflect on the evil meted out to the Native
Americans at the hands of their forefathers(puritan christians). Are the Native Americans not deserving of
justice.

Bob, China isn’t attacking Taiwan right now because it would be stupid to do so, not because they are afraid. The status quo works out well for them and there is little chance that Taiwan is going to declare independence anytime soon. China has become strongly integrated with the world economy and they don’t have anything to gain by taking Taiwan by force. I think what’s more likely to happen is someday China and Taiwan will peacefully integrate. I think China expects that to happen too so they see no point in risking a war just to hurry things up.

China is nothing more than a paper tiger. They don’t even have the guts to attack Taiwan despite telling the world that Taiwan is a break away province. All the U.S has to say is it will defend Taiwan and the Chinese is reduced to empty threats.

The U.S can make every major city in China un-inhabitable for a thousand years if they dare to shoot nuke the U.S way.

Yeah right, China has no match to USA. Statistic, based on the number of nuclear warheads in possession, USA can easily destroy China more than 66 times but China could only destroy USA once! But is there a difference?

They were mentioned above. Iraq and Afghanistan are already annexed. If North Korea was a non nuclear power it would have followed and so would have Iran.

“With the Soviet dissolved and no one to keep in check, US went on an unstoppable annexation spree on a global scale.”

Please name nations and territories that americans have annexed since the fall of the Soviet Union.
