They are constantly pushing the threat to shake the money tree. Meanwhile, WalMart and the other have increased trade to the point where more jobs are at stake in both countries than the number of military jobs. As a result, not enough people believe the DOD or the Peoples Army hysteria. </p> <p>Bottom line: WalMart is doing more for world peace than any other company. That statement is often a conversation stopper with most liberals. </p> Both the Chinese and the US military need a technologically viable enemy to justify budget increases.
