> When your large neighbor in that area, increases military spending every year why do think that is? Clam down, there're many ways for China to expand it's influence other than war. Plus, India and China both have nuclear weapons, meaning death trigger for everyone on earth, you don't want to touch that. Tibet on the other hand is a very long, complex and different story (and South China Sea is whole another different one), I don't think they belongs to the same topic. I can pretty much tell you that, in China, nobody think of India or Vietnam etc as enemy. Instead, they're the MARKET we can sell our product to. Which, guess what, that's what everybody do now, rather than thinking about war all days. So, why not trading and be good at it?

>>India and China both have nuclear weapons, meaning death trigger for everyone on earth, you don't want to touch that. Yet they--and USA, Russia, France, UK etc--also have millions of soldiers and spend gazillions a year on conventional military stuff. Usually try to outdo each other. >>Tibet on the other hand is a very long, complex and different story Complex it is, but it's now 100% part of China, regardless of whatever. >>in China, nobody think of India or Vietnam etc as enemy Yet, they all have militaries and somewhere on the shelves they plans to attack /defend from each other.

  What do you expect? If your neighbor had gun, you properly want it too. Specially when he don't like your dog and you don't like hes garden. But it's not meaning you two will actually going to kill each other, the gun here is just a counter weight. The current relation model between nations made nobody fully trust each others. So nobody wants to drop their military, unless everybody do it at same time (Which is impossible). It's sad that we still had to maintain that amount of military power and feed them with tax payer's money. If we use those money else where, we properly typing on mars now. But it's the world we live in now, there is no other choose but get use to it. One day in the future, we may reach a higher level of globe society that could maintain itself without any military force. And, that's why everybody should keep pushing the society go forward. But until we reached that point, everybody will continue upgrading their military, and rely on it to ensure their own safety.
