China is our greatest economic competitor since World War II. Currently, the world's two largest economies are at loggerheads over issues ranging from trade and technology to national security and Taiwan. Under its current leadership, China's goal is to surpass the clout of the U.S. and be the global leader. How is it doing? With its investments in the military, China appears to be bracing for confrontation while we appear to be somewhat disinterested and not well prepared, even for our own defense. Is America still a military superpower? Yes, but.... That question which hangs in the air should be of concern to Americans.
