PLA vs. Pentagon
Once again another Pentagon official has said that the Chinese military is now at a level that is close to tipping the balance of power in East Asia. Peter Rodman, assistant defense secretary for international security affairs, testifying in front of a joint hearing of the House International Relations and Armed Services Committees said that China is "a problem here and now." He was trying to encourage congress to act to stop Europe from lifting an arms sales ban on China. Mr. Rodman also talked about how the current Chinese abilities to inflict severe damage to any American forces that would try to intervene in any Cross-straights conflict, would prevent US from using its military to prevent any conflict from occurring.
Here is another good article about the Chinese government planned anti-Japanese protests. Except this article takes an interesting view that these protests can backfire, and quickly turn anti-government. One can only hope that this will happen.

I disagree with your belief that no nation would sell to China. Almost all European leaders want to lift the embargo, Russia is the leading weapons supplier to China, Israel has sold and is selling weapons to the PLA, and some American companies have sold weapons technology to China. From my point of view the whole world can't wait to sell China weapons.
France will sell arms to anyone wiht ths cash to pay. I blogged a piece on the growing Chinese submarine menace a while back. You can read it here.
