Question

Has China been gathering intel to attack the USA?

Answer 1

Cyber attacks yes. The USAF has set up the cyber command to deal with them, and other hackers.

Answer 2

Of course.... you have to be prepared for everything.

"In times of peace prepare for war."

Answer 3

Why would they do that? we are there best trading partner.

If they tried to invade the country and subjugate it, well, lets just say the American citizens willing to fight would make Iraq's insurgency look like a non-violent sit in.

Nuking us would do nothing, since they wouldn't be able use our farmlands or industrial areas.

Answer 4

Why h**l, your guess is as good as mine so go figure......

Answer 5

Doubtful.  Most likely they are gathering intel in order to better compete with the USA for global influence.  China hopes to reach superpower status as great, if not greater, as the USA.  I think they want to achieve that status with economic and technological prowess, not with an actual military attack against the USA.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

I don't think they will attack us, they already own most of the U.S.

Answer 8

Yes. China has been gathering intel to attack the US for decades. As have many other countries.

Answer 9

Gathering intel?  Sure.  Very very easy to do in our open society plus they have reconnaissance satellites to look where people may not be able to see.

To attack us?  Not likely any time soon.  Their focus is regional, not global.  The Taiwan issue is their military focus.
