I think that the news reports of China emerging as a threat are not accurate. China is emerging as a threat to the United States being the only superpower. It may even become the number 1 superpower in the not so distant future. And while it is the only country on the planet that can produce a multimillion man army on the fly, it lags in technology. But then, the technology industry is heading towards China, Japan, and Taiwan. While this may be due to the cheaper prices for developing the supercomputers, it may be also due to the demand for an increase in technology in an attempt to catch up to the United States (at least for China, as Japan is even more advanced technologically than the United States). The main way that China will become a superpower, if it becomes a superpower, is not through technology or military might, but through economic control and political influence. But then, that's just the way I see it right now, and is prone to error.
