Why would they want to attack us? If they blow us up, nobody will buy their stuff.

Primarily, they are just trying to get an upper hand in the markets. However, in event of war, they could really do a lot of damage to our infrastructure. Iran is also a danger, though I doubt they have the capacity to deal such a damaging blow to us.

We're discussing about their cyber capabilities. Besides, China has been able to gain air superiority in wargames through the utilization of missile and naval technologies.

In my opinion, everyone worries about the wrong things when it comes to China. When their devestating attack comes, it will come without a shot fired.
