有點像:女朋友和(她)媽,掉河裏,先就誰?
拋磚引玉試試.
Analyses:
Firstly, make a quick judgement what the motives behind the question
1) is this position highly security sensitive, which requires your loyalty?
2) is this to check your ability of handling difficult things and situations?
3) is the interviewer just unfriendly.
Assumptions:
1) You want to this job which requires security clearance;
2) You are a US citizen;
My takes are:
1) An evasive way to a unfriendly question
I do not believe there would have such war in my lifetime. Logically, I would ask: A) does china have such military capbility;B) even if yes, do they have such intention? why they want to have; C) many things can be achieved through economic way instead of military way;D) I do not believe that the leaders of each country are stupid.
2) is this position highly security sensitive, which requires your loyalty
I am a naturalized citizen. All immigrants who wish to be US citizen must take an oath. Integrity is one of my core values.
