I could see China act against Taiwan and try to take the island if the think that the tariff debate has hurt Trump with our allies. If they see weakness of any kind and want to escalate, this would be the move without a direct attack on US soil. It would be a huge gamble on their part, but certainly within the cards.

Good read. Read in college and for a time was convinced that war with China would happen much sooner than later.

Its not about tarrifs per se. Its about pride. Stupid reason to go to war too but humans do a lot of stupid things because of it.

I hope they have a lot of food stored up. They would starve within the year if they lost control of the waters and there were a blockade of all imports

They won’t win an actual war and both sides know that.

They have to weather the storm the next 3 plus years and bank a democrat or Bush Republican to win in 2028.

Tap the brakes. China is going to fold. It was going to happen anyway, but Trump's tariffs are going to speed up the process.

Yes it definitely could. I think having a business savvy president to help them offramp will mitigate it angreat deal. But they are Chinese so who knows.

Holy frick. You far left wackos have zero self-awareness.

Can you guess why I said this? Likely. It’s because you’re a complete moron.

They don't really consider it a war.

We are not Han Chinese.

We are inferior, not even human. They can justify doing anything to us because they think were basically just animals, like a pig, dog, or cat.

They are deeply racist and do not consider us human.

If you feel this strongly about this you should just turn your back to the chinese, bend over and begin walking backwards asking them to go easy on you.

China has their own pride. Even if they know they are wrong, they will never just admit it. Just like our country won't, for the most part.

I predict that eventually both sides will negotiate and come up with a beneficial deal for both countries. And each country will declare themselves the winner.

But war isn't even on the table, lol.

The only thing that could potentially spark legit conflict, imo, is if China takes Taiwan, and we stupidly involve ourselves.

Yes. One child policy. Proliferation of military aged men without spouses. Government threatened internally by economic crisis. So yes. See rise and fall of the third Reich. 50 million dead.

Nobody is going to start a direct war with the USA.

When America and China got into a trade dispute. President Jack Ryan invited Russia to join NATO which lead to war between the USA and China.
