  Yes, but I liked that the article mentioned how Xi has been saying this for a long time. I switched the link to Harvard.

The how of the reference seems important, it's not like he brought it up first apparently >Xi has referenced Allison’s term before. In a speech in Seattle in 2015, Xi said, “There is no such thing as the so-called Thucydides Trap.” And in an October 2023 meeting with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Xi said, “The ‘Thucydides’ Trap’ is not inevitable, and Planet Earth is vast enough to accommodate the respective development and common prosperity of China and the United States.

  Do you think Xi's comments are specifically that war is imminent?
