Reap the Whirlwind -- China: Competitor or Adversary?

Reap the Whirlwind is a ground breaking novel that explores the volatile relationship between Beijing and Taiwan half a world away, and Chinas much more insidious activities along the Panama Canal. A bellicose Chinese regime, uncertain as to the outcome of the 2000 presidential election, plots a desperate power play to rein in a rebellious Taiwan Province. Sometimes a war plan can be too successful and the law of unintended consequences intervenes.

Has China crossed the line from competitor to adversary? The Chinese military forced down a US reconnaissance plane, sold missile technology to Pakistan, supplied weapons and munitions to Al-Qaeda after September 11, and gleefully produced videos depicting the World Trade Center attack. Does China represent another belligerent empire that threatens US national Security?
