The current administration so fears that terrorists will attack the US with intercontinental ballistic missiles that US is spending hundreds of $billions on a missile defense system (even though reams of insider experts say it cannot work). Compare that to $4billion per month for the war in Iraq and $0.07billion for serious toxic waste cleanup in serous, illegal toxic waste dumping grounds. IOW the massively expensive weapons system will exist for a preceived threat.
The US is also building a large string of bases across south Asia because, again, it perceives threats to national security (or is this simply a chain of bases to surround Russia and China using a filmsy excuse?).
What does China regard as a preceived threat so as to justify its military expansion? Military building is done only for protection from preceived threats (or to conquer neighbors for the greateer glory of some supreme ruler). What is China's preceived threat?
