Suppose for the sake of argument that the China Threat theorists have their way. Suppose they succeed in using Taiwan independence as a pretext to launch a "preventive" war of aggression against a peacefully developing China. Suppose they "win" such a war. Suppose they succeed in their quest to "contain China" and set China's development back 30, 40, even 50 years.
What then?
What will Neoconservative China Threat theorists do when another Great Exterminator hurtles toward earth, and they realize too late that crucial Chinese space technology, complementing US and Russian space technology, might have been able to intercept an asteroid or comet and ensure the survival of the human race, including 290 million Americans?

- Asteroid and comet impacts have both destroyed and shaped life on Earth since it formed.
- The Earth orbits the Sun in a vast swarm of near Earth asteroids (NEAs).
- The probability of an unacceptable collision in this century is ~2%.
- We now have the capability to anticipate an impact and to prevent it.
