Every single time I hear of an incident involving China and our country, (the latest crisis; as well as China supplying Iran with nuclear parts for a reactor, which of course can be converted to military purposes; as well as the uncertainty over Taiwan, and the defense treaty we have with Taiwan) I shudder with trepidation and wonder if any of these incidents will be the one that creates a self fulfilling prophecy of Nostradamus's prediction about the war "between the west and the yellow race."
