No doubt there's much truth in your assertions.

However, I believe there are some very powerful Chinese leaders who are antsy to rush their conquests.

Some of that is out of their own arrogance and greed for both power and reputation. Some of it is their ignorance of the complexities involved--or their disdane--not caring about them--pay any price in their own people etc.

They will be quick to take any advantage and any perceived weakness in the USA to exploit it for their own greedy advantage.

They are better power mongers than even Shrillery.

No doubt, that there are many battles over this in China. I think it will be later rather than sooner, China, in many respects is still a third world country that has some growing up to do before making any kill-shot for control of America. I do feel that they are on their way, killing America painfully slow with a thousand lashes.
