The U.S. should improve Sino-American relations by exchanging capital cities with China

_ M.A.D is a doctrine which nuclear will destruct both sides, and in that case, as my opponent stated, US won't dare to declare war on China if it loves its country, I don't see how it can benefit the US, if now the Chinese all come in here and destroy not just the capital but the whole country, how can we defend ourselve if we can't "declare war on China, and vica versa."? "2) NATIONAL SECURITY "Put it this way, you invited this guy, whom you had chosen to have a friendship relationship with, now your house is a mansion, a great building, colossal, sparkling with wealth, and let's say your the one you invited is a hobo. You wanted him to have your home, and you'll live in his home. What do you think the result would be? How many materials would you think there gonna left? Are there anything you could take? None. Aforesaid, I don't think this won't improve our security, but rather give us a parasite in our own body." --> Bad analogy. China isn't a Hobo. It has the worlds third largest economy (http://en.wikipedia.org......) and the World's largest military (http://en.wikipedia.org......)." Like my fellow opponent said, the Chinese government has the Word's largest military and Third in world's economy, then why would we put this strong, rich and competitive guy in our house ladies and gentlemen? How can we assure that China won't seek this as an opportunity to harvest our nation, because remember, we're exchanging capital cities, not the whole nation. My friend here keep on with his analogy that we're in control of their capital city and we'll destroy it if they will, but what if they don't? Instead they will control our whole nation, they can destroy it, rob our investments, our economy and become the most powerful guy in the world, and oh no America, you chose the hard way to learn that never completely trust a comrade with your house. 3) ECONOMIC TIES "Japan-USA have such a strong economic tie ( http://www.carnegieendowment.org......... ), according to http://www.worldsrichestcountries.com........., Japan is the richest country in Asia and also the second richest country in the world, let's just say we'll exchange our capital for economic tie, Japan would be a functional choice rather than China." --> According to your source here (http://www.worldsrichestcountries.com......), there gap between Japan and China is closing. China was up 30%, whereas Japan was up just over 12%. At the current rate, China will more than likely catch up and exceed Japan. You also cite the Japanese-American ties. Although this is very beneficial for the U.S.A., it shows that U.S.-Japanese relations are strong enough, and the U.S. needs to improve relations with other nations. Japanese military figures are at about 238,000 (http://en.wikipedia.org......), and this is just a self-defence force, meaning Japan cannot give significant military aid to the U.S.. China on the other hand has 2,250,000, (http://en.wikipedia.org......), which is far more useful to the U.S. China "more than likely" to exceed Japan, which to say that this is a possibility, China may exceed Japan, or maybe not, but what if not, or never? Then the US had invested in a wrong guy. Let's not talk about military here, in the economic section, plus, how do you know if China won't use that strong 2,250,000 military force to invade the US? Psychic? 4) ===CULTURAL EXCHANGE=== "We appreciate and respect the Chinese culture, which had enriched our country with Chinese food, China Town and a lot more traditions from the Chinese, but that's not the reason why we should trade our nation for China, by doing that, it won't be Cultural Exchange anymoew but rather than the American will be acculturated by the Chinese and so forth." --> Firstly, there are huge misconceptions about what Chinese food really is (http://www.positiveliberty.com......) (http://www.marginalrevolution.com......) Moreover, areas of a city designated as China town can make dividing liens between "Real Americans" and "Immigrants". Exchanging capital cities would show a sign of goodwill between the U.S.A. and China. It is not however exchanging capitals. There are thousands of way to perform your appreciation for a culture, or as you said, "Cultural exchange.", We have the Japanese Sakura in New York, we have tons of foreign student exchange programs, cultural exchange program, festival, I don't believe China Town created a line between the Chinese race and other races in America. In here we have Taco, tons of Hispanic markets, Hispanic food, Sushi, we have places that have the remarks of other culture, yet that does not create any lines in the US. I'm sorry, my debate might be weak, I type this debate in a tired and exhausted state, hope to see your argument soon.
