As is Beijing’s attitude towards Taiwan, “which President Xi Jinping has declared he intends to incorporate into the PRC by force if needs be”.

“At sea, fish stocks are being plundered across the world’s open oceans and encroaching into EEZs of many small states powerless to stop it; but the supplies are not endless, and they are dwindling rapidly,” he warns, assigning it a conflict risk factor of nine. “For years, China has exercised great restraint on the South China Sea issue,” it asserts, claiming regional tensions have eased under Code of Conduct discussions.

“Under such conditions, many regional countries have been forced to take sides between the US and China,” The“And with US support, certain forces in this region have seized the opportunity and fermented troubles against China. Malaysia’s submission is an example.”“China continues to expand its regional military presence, year by year, and will likely increase its South China Sea operations,” the CFR notes.

“The United States cannot reverse China’s militarisation of the South China Sea. Beijing has succeeded in shifting the balance of power in this waterway in its favour,” Dr Rapp-Hooper writes. It would also involve highlighting China’s behaviour on the world stage: “To publicise violations of international law — illegal surveys, freedom of navigation obstruction — when they do occur.”

Let’s get it over with, the Chinese like Japan did will lose.

I would say we were already at war but have not engaged militarily yet.

Totalitarian China can't help but lie about CoronavirusANALYSIS: China's authoritarian government is handling the latest health crisis better than some in the past but its insistence on total control hinders its attempts to prevent the next one. You just saw the outside not in the side I always thought China would end us. Think this is incorrect story.
