We buy Chinese goods, tank our economy, borrow more to pay for our consumption, deliver the money to China, and they build an economic and military powerhouse. The military side is quiet in the mainstream press.
India, however, is noticing how their northeastern neighbor threatens.
But what riles India most is China's incursion into its backyard and the belief China is surrounding the subcontinent with its "string of pearls" -- Chinese "investments" in naval bases, commercial ports and listening posts along the southern coast of Asia. There are port facilities in Bangladesh and radar and refueling stations in Burma. Thailand, Cambodia and Pakistan now all host Chinese "projects;" China's crown jewel is the Pakistani deepwater port of Gwadar.
Our trade deficit cripples our economy, and finances China's global rise militarily. This is a major national security issue.
