+ + + The Chinese may be able to win a confrontation, even a war, with the United States. Under Obama's policy of surrender, China had a chance of overtaking us economically while growing its military until its primacy was a fait accompli. But Trump killed that dream with his trade war, exposing the inherent weaknesses of the Chinese economy > > >
I have posted variously with similar analysis. I do tend to doubt war, although the prize of Taiwan - not mentioned in the article - is extremely tempting to Beijing.
It has been a myth that China has outstripped the US and is now the leading world power; however, it cannot be discounted as a factor, as the article states. China has achieved its new global status due to our stupid {traitorous?} politicians selling the store and enriching themselves. I have cautioned POTUS in these trade negotiations to be tough, but not vicious; China must be permitted somewhat equal status.
Now, of course, this coronavirus crisis adds a new factor to the equation. Even the military has reported viral outbreaks in significant numbers on strategic naval ships - specifically an aircraft carrier. If one of our our first lines of defense is crippled, that could change the military balance of power.
The South China Sea could be a hot spot. China has violated global understanding of their aims in that strategic part of the world. Obviously they plotted to take control of a major global trade route, for whatever reason.
Did China scheme to plant the coronavirus, CoViD-19, in America? That may become a crucial question in the near future. The next move is China's. Perilous times.
