We don't really need an all-out conventional war with China in order to check its rise. We just need to make a sufficiently credible threat. Americans are more than willing to go to war in order to do this, we did it all throughout the Cold War, for instance, in order to check the USSR. That was only 50 years ago. This particular geopolitical dynamic goes clear back to the Middle Ages.
Why we are not threatening China at the moment is a complete mystery.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoWhat's a complete mystery to me is why isn't China keeping The USA in check? The US is the biggest CO2 emitters in the world and is slowing killing the world for everyone. China needs to arm those nuclear weapons to keep the US from polluting the world into oblivion.
