Not a lot said here on this forum about China. Who do you think is more dangerous to our economy China or Mexico. I used to think we were financing the next war with China. Now I think we may have already lost the economic war. What happens when we make no products in America. Then China either raises the prices or holds the products we have to have to live. As for Mexico, The illegals will take us out medically if nothing else. 85 per sent of the hospitals on the southern boarder are already forced to close. The only way to rid the U.S. is to do away with there employment, housing, and all social services passed out to the illegals.
They are both a long-term threat to our nation. Mexico is almost an equal economic threat as China, but the situation with China is much, much more grave. As you pointed out, we have already lost the economic war with China. Not convinced? Go to Wal-Mart, then talk to me. Illegal latinos have have depressed wages, caused skyrocketing healthcare costs, brought in drugs, brought gangs, etc. Obviously, both are bad for this country. China is a much more serious threat because we are funding their military buildup (which has increased dramatically in recent years, like their navy). They are not our ally. They are communist. They have just made billions of dollars of deals with Iran (upwards $50 billion) for its oil and natural gas. There was an incident recently when about a month ago one of their subs came up on a US warship, completely undetected and surfaced momentarily. Not our enemy? Hmmm, I'm skeptical, but realistic that they would be dumb to make any overt military threat soon because they have a lot invested in our economy as well (their exports). It is without question in my mind that the next superpower is China and I think it will be in my lifetime, possibly the next 20-30 years. Lets hope that it never comes to conflict, because we will lose that one I'm afraid...
Then lets keep our Nukes at all costs as to intiminate the Chinese as we did the Soviet Union......
They've got plenty of nukes of their own, and they're still in bed with Russia, so there's tons of nukes between the 3 of us. It doesn't have quite the intimidation factor that it once did, since a lot more countries are gettin' nukes...look at India and Pakistan...
If you visit Honolulu- they already accept Yen- and it has much higher value than the USD- Bush has already sold out debt to China for this war- we already owe them billions-
Our own government, our sellout citizins, our own fellow neighbors are the threat.
If it wasn't for the 1965 immigration act, we would still be the United States and have our American identity. Something we are quickly losing do to massive, unchecked, third world, non-white immigration.

The Yen is the currency of Japan, not China. Mainland China uses the Renminbi.
Mexico will never rise up and become a world superpower. China, on the other hand, will be the next world superpower, has the world's largest population and army, and currently produces more from low-class laborers than most prominent countries. So much for learning German or Spanish in high school -- sign your kids up for Mandarin courses.
It only took 5 posts to blame Bush (for the "Chines currency yen" being accepted in Hawaii of all things), you guys are loosing your touch.
I think more of a threat is India economically. China is still burdened with its communist ideology which, however many capitalistic reforms they put in, will limit how much they can compete. Both countries are developing like crazy, but India has the population, cheap labor, and economic and political funamentals in place to compete and shut out the U.S. in the world market.
This war has nothing to do with bombs or bullets so the talk of military and nukes is irrelavent. The only way we would get into a war with China is if they invade Taiwan.
