China and its neighbors don't get along

I found a very interesting article titled, "China's Neighbors Bulk Up Militaries." This article is interesting because what would the world do if the worlds biggest producer of things goes to war? Who will produce our cheap parts, and who will construct the cheap labor force? China and Japan do not get along this has been going on for years and years, but now even Vietnam is building up their military to be able to fight against China. Not only Japan feels that China is a threat. According to the article Vietnam just wants to upgrade their defense system. India and Japan want China to see them as military equals.They want to show that they also have military to attack and will not be intimidated. I did not know that India has a conflict with China. Apparently China has mobilized a lot of their military personal to the Himalayan boundaries. India has missiles that range over 3,000 miles that has the possibility to strike China because they are building them in the Himalayan boundaries. Japan has also bought 42 F-35 Lightning II Stealth Fighters.  The United States of America has told his allies to build up its military especially Japan. The U.S. benefits from this because it has a huge weaponry industry. China has disputes with Vietnam over islands this is why Vietnam keeps updating its military. Not only Vietnam, India, and Japan are building their military the Philippines spent 410 million on fighter jets and 1.8 billion on new naval frigates, Malaysia spent 2.8 billion on military and bought submarines, and Indonesia is planning to buy U.S Apache gunships and Korean submarines.
