I see the only way to deal with China is with trade not the military.  We need China as much as they need us.  We need China help in dealing with North Korea. We can accomplish much more working with China than fighting with them.   You may not realize that China is one if not the largest buyer of American farm products and China can not grow enough food to feed themselves.  I do not see the advantage for our farmers to lose market share to other countries.  Trade is complicated and it helps prevent wars.
