China's Missile

Last week the People’s Republic of China launched an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) to destroy a redundant communications satellite (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6276543.stm for further details).  Besides the obvious affects that such debris will cause to surrounding military and communications satellites (i.e. there is now an increase risk that these geo-stationary satellites could become affected by the additional debris caused), the launch has confirmed that China is a potential contender to the Hegemon of both United States dominance and European supremacy.  While it is true that China is in regards to military technology twenty years behind the U.S and most European States, its military spending is of astronomical portions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%27s_military_spending) it won’t be long until China is on par with U.S in virtually ever field; especially weapons technology.  Clearly, with the rise in the demand for fossil fuels and China’s overwhelming population growth (a growth rate that is completely unsustainable due to the rash policies which have seen China modernise at the expense of developing arable land to feed its mighty populous) this rise in China’s military capabilities would present a clear and present danger to the security not only to the U.S but more importantly to Europe, ‘the epicentre of Western Civilisation’, as states compete for finite resources.  Traditionally, when resources become finite or when states find it increasingly difficult to sustain its population growth war occurs.  World War Two can arguably be viewed as that last major confrontation for economic resources, a war that Germany initiated in order to pursue its genocidal desire to create Lebensraum in the East.  

To prevent this deadly competition between China and the West from occurring it is imperative that military action be taken against the People’s Republic of China now, before China catches which would jeopardise Western security.  Military action should be used now before the opportunity passes us by.
