All those AK47's you see being toted in the many areas of conflict? Where are most of them made now. Here. Ditto rocket launchers.

The Chinese also have nuclear weapons both strategic and battlefield.

The PLA (Peoples Liberation Army) though is badly trained, but lack of training is made up in numbers.

So we have a country that supplies technology to N Korea, weapons to the rest of the world, yet squeals when Taiwan wants to buy defence weapons. However GW must be as pragmatic as the Chinese Govt are and deal with each other. But there is oil and gas here so he might reconsider ;-)

BTW I just saw on the news that China is voting in the UN to leave Iran's nuclear program alone. I wonder if the technology they have in Iran has Made in China on it.....
