This is worrying news, it seems China's military advancement is bounding forward. We all remember well how crucial Tom Cruise's efforts were in ensuring the success of Reagan's military buildup in the eighties, a policy which was instrumental in bringing about the fall of communism - an eventuality which all US government organisations accurately predicted - and ushering in our contemporary era of peace and contentment.
As we also know only too well the Chinese are no fans of intellectual property laws, but the PLA are certainly steppin it up on the aesthetics front by adopting Cruise power for their own. However, does this point to a PLA-Cruise-Scientology triangle which will bring about a shift in global power balances from west to east? Or conversely are Cruise's "people" currently working around the clock to distance him from any involvement in the US-China strategic relationship? Better yet, could a Palin Presidency in 2012 see history repeat itself with Cruise returning to reinvigorate a distracted US military? I certainly hope so... I'm sure he still has those cut-off somewhere.
Either way given that the new realm of conflict is undoubtedly the symbolic it may only be so long before China is producing unbeatable box office hits of its own. While the boffins may agonise over the implications of the Chinese carrier killer missile, stealth fighter, and carrier fleet, I personally think the true turning point will be seen when the Chinese wheel out a home grown Tom Cruise.
I hope you can use chop sticks biatch!
