China State Media Accuses Biden of Threatening War, Seeks Ability to 'Eliminate' U.S. Forces
https://www.msn.com/ ^ | 7/29/2021 | Jenni Fink

The Global Times, a Chinese state-run media outlet, advocated for the building up of China's military to serve as a deterrent to a potential armed conflict with the United States

American officials see China as the top threat to the United States with regard to the economy, cybersecurity and military. President Joe Biden warned on Tuesday that cybersecurity attacks could lead to physical confrontations with a country and said standing up to China requires the U.S. to maintain pace without unnecessarily increasing hostilities.

The Times editorial board attributed Biden's remarks that a significant cyberattack could lead to a "real shooting war" to a "threat of war against China and Russia." To prepare for such a war, the board said China needs to ramp up its defense so that it "deprives" the U.S. of its confidence that it could defeat China in a contest in the Taiwan Straits or the South China Sea.

Both areas have become flashpoints for a potential conflict, as China sees any foreign involvement in the area as an encroachment on its sovereignty. President Xi Jinping criticized the U.S. for fueling tensions by sending a warship through the Taiwan Straits that separate the island from mainland China. The U.S. pushed back on the criticism, calling the ship's transit part of the country's commitment to a "free and open Indo-Pacific."

DemocRATs = big talk. But only deploy actual force against people who can’t fight back.

Some years ago, senior military personnel in China published a “white paper”, that said it was essential for the US to be preoccupied by an unconventional attack so much that it could not focus on fighting China. This included a biological attack in middle America.

But they also said that it was crucial that the US ports of Bremerton, WA and San Diego be seriously disabled, such as by smuggling in two nuclear weapons.

Easy to blame Biden. He’s such a soft target.

“To prepare for such a war, the board said China needs to ramp up its defense so that it “deprives” the U.S. of its confidence that it could defeat China in a contest in the Taiwan Straits or the South China Sea. “

A small, concentrated shooting gallery for stand-off US strike forces.

We can avoid that strait and control the outer chain.

In a dominant fashion.

And lob 100,000 tons of ordnance into the shooting gallery every day.

Unfortunately for China, that’s their back yard.

China waxes fondly of Anti Access/Area Denial.

Dumb bastards haven’t yet realized that means they can’t get out of their box.

China cannot project power to anywhere the US does not allow.

The Global Times is an internal consumption rag spouting the CCP line of the moment. It is all propaganda.

That may be true with regard to military power particularly if we yet enjoy the benefit of an undivided military command.

In any event, the outcome may turn on how many effective back channels Team Biden has with China and who is monitoring that traffic. At this point there is a rationale basis for believing there are many such channels.

We have become an infiltrated and thus very soft target and there are a lot of domestic actors with different motivations.

I observed months ago that the risk Biden represents is not that he won’t fight, but that he will decide to fight the wrong war, at the wrong time and wrong place. Robert Gates, who worked for five presidents of both parties and had the opportunity to watch Biden close up for years, said that Biden was wrong on every foreign policy issue for forty years. We are in dire straits .

The question is do we have and how long will we have the power to prevent China from projecting power wherever it wants to.

Imagine the poor Chinese translators, translating Biden for the communist leaders.

"Dear leader, none of what Biden says makes any sense! Even the Americans can't understand the gibberish!"

Watch as Biden backs down—all talk for local consumption. “See I’m a tough Guy!” his bumbling will steer us into WW III BUT it will give him war powers to arrest Trump and all his supporters.
