Threat on the Horizon
“China’s Stature Growing in Asia” (Dec. 28) highlights the fact that China’s share of trade in Asia has doubled since 1994, technology advances are outpacing competitive neighbors and the U.S. has a ballooning trade deficit with China -- yet “at this point, specialists believe, China’s waxing influence carries no threat to the United States.” Isn’t China one of the major nuclear powers of the world? I wonder if the so-called specialists felt the same way toward Japan before Dec. 7, 1941.
