Hayden said the world's population is expected to grow by 45 percent to 9 billion people by midcentury, mostly in countries that cannot sustain such growth, such as Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Combine that with the likely mass migration to developed countries, and resources will be strained, leading to an increased risk of violence, civil unrest or extremism, he said.

China will become an economic and political competitor to the United States, he said, but should not be treated as "an inevitable enemy."

Although the rapid growth of the Chinese military could pose a threat to the United States and Taiwan, Hayden said, he believes that the nation's aim of military modernization is about "projecting strength" and demonstrating that it has "great-power status."

Hayden is lying; if Asia already is unstable and China is becoming the next superpower, you can bet that the U.S. wants to subvert them. Today it's not only a battle over nuclear power, Communism or oil - it's all at once, including other resources like oil, water and agricultural land. If you for a moment think America isn't aware of this and wants to be a part of the game, you're being duped, just like the American soldiers were when they were sent into Iraq after symbolic evils with messages of peace and democracy.
