The second, a more skeptical crowd, thinks China has too many challenges to pose a serious threat to America. In other words, don't worry about another Cold War any time soon.

Quotations
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld wrote on his Twitter account, "The special operators who have every right to 'spike the football' are too professional to do so.
