Are Chinese military drills and exercises a cause for concern?

China is "flexing its muscle" but is that necessarily a bad thing? Obviously the US and China do not always have the same goals in mind, but the line differentiating them has gotten somewhat fuzzy. Perhaps we can benefit from the Chinese military actions and work with them for security and stability in the region.

We flex our muscles in all the seas of the world; why should any other country not do the same? I'm sure if you're a leader of a country that isn't friendly with us, you would probably be threatened by our ships operating 50 miles off your coast, shooting guns and missiles...
So, yes, it's appropriate to be cautious or concerned, but not paranoid...

China wants a war with the US no more than we want a war with them. It is similar to the Cold War in that the opportunity for two nuclear powers to use them in the event of a conventional war. There can be no winner in a war between two nuclear powers. China is just flexing their military muscles hoping to impress the smaller nations in the region.

I can't help but mention that the picture reminds me of the "Great White Fleet"

LCDR (Join to see) That goes to the point I made in response to your article, The great White Fleet was the United States flexing our military muscles for the world. This is China's, well cheap Chinese knock off of an American original.
