This is in keeping with thousands of years of Chinese history. They are seeking to expand and will until someone stops them. They consider deception an art form. Their ultimate goal is to become the global hegemon, which they believe is their right.
The U.S. must rally the world to confront them at every point. We must stress the need to remove supply chains from China for every critical component. We are already at war with them economically and culturally. A hot war may be inevitable.
RE: This is in keeping with thousands of years of Chinese history. They are seeking to expand and will until someone stops them.
CCP Apologists keep telling us the opposite. China,they say has not warred with any nation except to defend herself for over 500 years. All China is interested is trade and commerce.
These apologists even say that other than India and Bhutan, China has peacefully settled all border disputes with over 10 countries in which she shares a border ( including Russia ).
