China has no ability to wage war in the US. It’s silly to even contemplate it.
I guess it depends on your definition of war.
It has excellent cyber war potential; arguably already being used against us.
It likely has the ability to take out most of our satellite space resources. We depend on those a great deal.
It is, at minimum, studying how to take out our electric grid and communications network. It may have the capability to do that. We have been negligent in developing robust protections for them.
Are those capabilities included in your assessment?
