Play with fire? And get burned

China's vice foreign minister Cui Tankai said, " I believed some countries now are playing with fire. And I hope the US won't get burned by this fire." He said this in response to US secretary of state Hillary Clinton's statements two days ago that the United States is ready to provide hardware to modernize the Philippine military and that Washington would honor its 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty with Manila All these bla bla amid rising tension in the West Philippine Sea. Though Mr. Cui Tankai did not mention America in particular as one of those playing with fire, we know and the world knows that the US is presently engaged in war in three fronts, Afganistan, Pakistan and more recently Libya. And if the West Philippine Sea or China Sea becomes another US warfront, the Americans may eventually get burned that might become the world's worst economic disaster China seemed more concerned of the world economy because the US is China's biggest economic partner. Only recently China extended huge amount of dollars in loan assistance to the US to help and bail it out during its recent economic recession. And if the US gets burned and so is China's dollars.
