#2> Ignore the polite abstractions. The marines are training for a war with China, probably precipitated by an invasion of Taiwan.
I guess the consent manufacturing has started. "If shit hits the fan, remember: it was probably China who started it."

#3I don’t think such war will happen. The tensions will be on technological “supremacy”, political and economic isolation, corporate sanctions, and international support, somewhat a Cold War.
I also believe China is a peaking (rather than a rising) power at this stage. Its growth rate has declined from 14% to less than 5% now. China is facing an aging population (due to the one child policy of the past), international hostility, internal political and numerous other problems.

I hope China recognizes that challenging the West politically and economically is much better option. I think the best thing China could do would be negotiate with Taiwan for their independence. It is funny that option is never suggested as possibility.

The Taiwan War is being pushed precisely because China has been doing exactly that and the US wants China to stop and do what Japan did in 1985 by signing the Plaza Accords. China will never do that. Hence, the war...

The initiators of violence are the ones blamed for starting it. Like how Russia is blamed for the invasion of Ukraine.

China is concerned about currency markets so that is why they have to invade Taiwan?
China is strong enough that they don't have to listen. It doesn't really show you are strong to threaten to invade another country to demonstrate strength.

You must be confused. PRC has not invaded anything.

This is the biggest threat to security globally is that once it has been decided that the war is strategic, both sides will use propaganda to motivate their population into thinking that the war is a moral mission.
There is not going to be anything moral about it. War is caused by a total failure of management over a number of years. A big part of what is increasing tensions are the real world economic problems globally. Then if the nation-states decide that things are serious enough they will make the calculation that mass murder is a good way to enhance their strategic position.
But there will be lies about China, lies about the United States, and a huge propaganda effort to dehumanize the other population or focus on whatever bad acts that have come before in order to justify war which again is a national policy of mass murder.
My take is that the leaders that push this war forward should be held to account as criminals themselves since they are advocating for millions to be killed.

And that’s what they’re doing?
This isn’t a Chinese outlet writing about how the sides are “preparing for war”.
