I don't think China wants to fight.
What would Trump be without an enemy? I think that's the question we need to answer here. Can he thrive in a world in peace? I have difficulty imagining what he would do.
I would go even further: most countries in the world right now don't need an enemy. There is just a few of them that are defined by persistent war.

- _DeadFred_ 1y agoChina has been saber rattling/preparing for war with Taiwan prior to Trump's current US policy direction. China also switched to wolf warrior diplomacy for close to a decade now.
- alganet 1y agoThe main question I asked is "what would Trump be without an enemy?", and that's your response. Ok, fine. Let's think of that hypothetical: The US wins. Then what? How would Trump thrive in that world? What's his next angle? Every single country in the world is thinking that same question.
